Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here ( 4 K Ultra HD, Lyrics)
Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 through Harvest Records and Columbia Records, their first release for the latter. Based on material Pink Floyd composed while performing in Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded over numerous sessions throughout 1975, at Abbey Road Studios in London. The album encompasses a variety of themes, including criticism towards the music business, alienation, as well as a tribute to founding member Syd Barrett, who left seven years earlier due to his deteriorating mental health. Like their previous record, The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Floyd used studio effects, synthesisers and brought in guest singers, including Roy Harper, who provided the lead vocals on Have a Cigar, and Venetta Fields, who added backing vocals to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. To promote the album, the band released the double Aside single Have a Cigar , Welcome to the Machine.
