Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here 50th Anniversary CD/LP/Blu-ray & Deluxe Editions

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

After much speculation this week, sparked by Pink Floyd’s streaming and social media platforms, as well as their website being shrouded in a mysterious black wrap (an ode to Wish You Were Here and how it was originally sold on store shelves), we can now confirm that this was timed with the unveiling of the Wish You Were Here 50th Anniversary editions. The lineup from Sony/Legacy Recordings features 2xCD, 3xLP, and 1xBlu-ray standalone editions, as well as a deluxe box set — all revealed today in celebration of the album’s 50th anniversary. Releasing on December 12, they’re sure to be a standout gift this holiday season. You can find details & ordering info for all editions below.
