Best copy of Wish You Were Here

I have had good luck with the orig US release...although I paid a bit of premium
at a HiFi shop...and they ran it thru some mega $$$ cleaning machine....sounds amazing...i also have CBS master sound CD which is nice as well...wasn't blown away by recent reissues...

that one usually comes in black shrink and very rare.

I have the UK first press, and the black shrink was one of several attributes of the packaging, there was other indicia as well that had to do with how the jacket was cut, but my memory fails me. These early UK pressings sound pretty good, but I suspect there is less difference between the UK and US on this album than there may be with Dark Side.

I know this is a vinyl thread... But fwiw...I also have a Japanese CD pressing that sounds very good... Stumbled upon it by accident. I also have a backup domestic LP but it is noisey in spots hence the reason I shelled out for a proper copy.

I have two versions:

Neither is great, but I'm not going to pay lots of €€€ for a record.
