The Story of Wish You Were Here:
Wish You Were Here, released in Sept 1975, was the follow up album to Dark Side
of the Moon, and is cited by many fans, as well as band members Richard Wright
and David Gilmour, as their favourite Pink Floyd album. On release it went
straight to Number One in the UK, US, Australia and many other countries. This
