Lot #72: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here LP Vinyl 1975 Canadian Pressing

Original 1975 Canadian pressing of Pink Floyd's progressive rock masterpiece, Wish You Were Here. Manu by Columbia Records of Canada Ltd. Comes complete with its original heavy cardboard inner lyrics sleeve. Cover: designed by Hipgnosis (led by Storm Thorgerson), photograph of two stuntmen (Ronnie Rondell and Danny Rogers) as businessmen shaking hands, with one physically on fire. Shot at the Warner Bros studio lot - represents the band's biting commentary on the music industry - the concept of getting burned by the corporate insincerity. The Canadian release features the distinct white border layout with crisp photographic framing. The entire album serves as a poignant multi part tribute to the band's brilliant but reclusive founding member, Syd Barrett. Inner Sleeve - the Canadian issue features a heavy cardboard stock print. One side showcases the famous "red veil" blowing in the wind, the reverse ft lyrics, credits, and the iconic "diver" photo. Auction Note: All lots are from a single estate collection.
