Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Wish You Were Here is a song cycle dedicated to Pink Floyd's original frontman, Syd Barrett, who'd flamed out years before: two grimly funny songs about the evils of the music business ("By the way, which one's Pink?"), and two long, touching ones about the band's vanished friend. The real star of the show, though, is the production: sparkling, convoluted, designed to sound deeply oh-wow under the influence--and pretty great sober too--with David Gilmour getting lots of space for his most lyrical guitar playing ever. And, though the album is big and ambitious, even bombastic, it somehow dodges being pretentious--the Barrett tributes are honest and heartfelt, beneath all the grand gestures and stereophonic trickery. --Douglas Wolk

Customer Reviews
I've grown up on McGuinn, Clark and Hillman, but....
Dear people, Although I've grown up on McGuinn, Clark and Hillman I can 'dig ' this poorly edited CD, for starters the vocals are most of the time mixed so deep in the mix you cannot even detect them, this is especially true for large parts of Shine on you crazy diamond and the middle eight section of Wellcome to the machine,tis' just plain inaudible!!! This is a bad quality as POLYDOR JAPAN has left us with.
I really appreciate the superficial tunes by McGuinn, Clark and Hillman better, but OK says I: what gives?

Terrence O Reardon is right
I abstain, I understand Terrence is an OK guy, hey I don't like Britney Spears AT ALL, used to have all the Floyd LP's but couldn't keep em as my life changed dramatically - for the good I might add. I really thought Ummagumma and Obscured by clouds were among their best.
See you Terrence, best of luck in your life,

Sounds like Syd Barrett pinched his taint one too many times.
lf Syd asked Roger or Nick to pinch his taint, he'd probably still be alive. Shine on Syd...shine on.
