Released as the follow-up to 1973 smash Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd’s ninth album is memorable both for its guest spots — like English folk-rocker Roy Harper, long uncredited as lead vocalist on the music biz send-up “Have a Cigar” — and the bandmates they lost along the way — like Syd Barrett, the genius songwriter whose psychological breakdown informed Wish You Were Here’s breathtaking, bittersweet opening prog suite, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.” Put your feet up, “Have a Cigar” and cue up this 50th anniversary pressing of a landmark Seventies rock outing on bright yellow vinyl.
