Pink Floyd followed the
commercial breakthrough of Dark Side of the Moon with Wish You Were Here, a
loose concept album about and dedicated to their founding member Syd Barrett.
The record unfolds gradually, as the jazzy textures of "Shine on You Crazy
Diamond" reveal its melodic motif, and in its leisurely pace, the album
shows itself to be a warmer record than its predecessor. Musically, it's
arguably even more impressive, showcasing the group's interplay and David
Gilmour's solos in particular. And while it's short on actual songs, the long,
winding soundscapes are constantly enthralling.
(EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, ALL
MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/)
For its extraordinary
contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine
musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous
generations of musicians, writers and general public, or for some other innate
quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the
largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever
organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC
Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy
Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben
Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye , Bruce
Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ
Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who
wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete
Wingfield, etc.). For more details, see: "Critics Choice: Top-200
albums" compiled by Paul Gambaccini, Omnibus Press, Library of Congress

CONDITION:
·
RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL
records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete
sunlight)
(a)
WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++, JUST A
NOTCH BELOW NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions (probably just sleeve
scuffs inflicted in storage over the years) ARE VISIBLE, but they appear
fairly insignificant relative to the
overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting.
For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or
imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and
sparkles almost like new. (NOTE: minor surface abrasion on the last segment (part 7) of 'Shine On You
Crazy Diamond' noted)
(b)
The record comes in its original, custom, inner sleeve, which
is UNIQUE to this album.
(c)
The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY
thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex'
type), vinyl, but not the thickest,
most rigid vinyl, either.
(d)
Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior,
digital recording!!!
