Description
The super rare US Quad pressing of Wish You Were Here! Overall, this is a nice copy, but there are a few drawbacks:
- The first five minutes or so of Side A play back a bit noisier than I find to be ideal. It’s still certainly listenable, but I need to mention it. Many little pops and tics, but again, it plays through. There is also one skip a few minutes into Shine On part 6 on side B. I see no visual issue, so it may jut be my rig that does not like that groove for some reason. The rest of the LP plays with no issue.
- The sleeve is not original. Somewhere along the line someone must have swapped the original sleeve for the more common Stereo sleeve. Who knows why. At any rate, this reduces the collectibility a bit.
All in all, this is a great “player copy”, and I have enjoyed it a good bit over the past few years. It’s just not a pristine collector’s piece. If you are simply looking to get a copy that you can listen to and enjoy for less than the $200 + that this pressing sometimes goes for, then this may be for you.
