Description from the seller

Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here = Flame (I want you to be here)
Rock Best 100

Very Rare 'Complete!' Japanese Edition in nice condition. Sure, a 'Must Have' for any collection.
-A Legend-


Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on September 12, 1975, through Harvest Records and Columbia Records. Based on material Pink Floyd composed while performing in Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded in numerous sessions throughout 1975 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London.

The topics include alienation and criticism of the music industry. The majority of the album is dedicated to 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond,' a nine-track tribute to founding member Syd Barrett, who left the band seven years earlier due to his deteriorating mental health.
Barrett happened to be visiting during the album's production in 1975.

Upon its release, Wish You Were Here received mixed reviews from critics, who found the music uninspiring and inferior to the band's previous work.
It was retrospectively critically acclaimed, hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time, and named by keyboardist Richard Wright and guitarist David Gilmour as their favorite Pink Floyd album.
