    One of the cleanest, most incredible sounding albums in my collection. Pure euphoria.

      Did this release come with the blue shrinkwrap? Mine does, but I can't see any other mention of this one having it.

        I don’t care what anyone says, this is true masterpiece. Nothing to add 🙌🏻

          🙌🏻 soundstage, flat, quiet and I’d never personally sell this copy. Is it the best? Who knows..but it’s mine

            Just don't buy this, do yourself a favor and get a British, German, or Japanese copy, whatever you can afford. The music is too quiet to deal with all the pops this record is going to give you.

              Listening to this record is like hearing Pink Floyd live next to a camp fire, with the constant cracks and pops. I have to say the soundstage is sublime, and the pops just add an element of vintage to the overall experience that does not disappoint. If you want a quiet record look elsewhere. But it all works for me.

                I had this copy - https://discogs.descargarpelis.net/Pink-Floyd-Wish-You-Were-Here/release/2940648 But it had an enormous amount of pops, no matter how good it was cleaned.

                I own this promo copy now and could not be happier, it sounds amazing.

                  Wondering what the catalog number on the spine is for this album?
