Description

04. Wish You Were Here. 05. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6-9).

Wish You Were Here is a glistening, powerful rock record that stays true to power pop while sounding as contemporary as any mainstream rock band of the mid-'70s. It was the kind of record that could have been a hit, but due to a series of legal and managerial entanglements, it was pulled from stores before it had a chance to find its audience. Despite its relative obscurity, most die-hard Badfinger fans maintain that the group shines brilliantly on Wish You Were Here and they're correct

Their 1974 album Wish You Were Here would be the band's final album with their principle line-up of Pete Ham, Joey Molland, Tom Evans, and Mike Gibbins. Although largely forgotten in the scheme of things, Wish You Were Here still stands as a masterpiece to this day, a power pop relic of sorts. Though Badfinger are compared to the Beatles so frequently, Badfinger developed their own sound fairly early into the career, and they are at their creative peak with Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here is the sixth album by rock band Badfinger and their third consecutive album produced by Chris Thomas. It was recorded in the spring of 1974 at Colorado's Caribou Ranch and released in November of that year on Warner Bros. Wish You Were Here was the second and last album the band released on the Warner's label. The album's abbreviated manufacturing run and short tenure on the market has made the original LP relatively rare. Before being recalled, Wish You Were Here had time enough to chart, peaking at number 148 in the United States.

After completing Wish You Were Here, Pete Ham decided to quit Badfinger; he was replaced by t Bob Jackson. However, after Warner's indicated that it would drop the band if Ham quit, he agreed to return, and Badfinger completed a tour as a five-piece group. Following this tour, Joey Molland resigned from the band. The next Badfinger release was the Molland–Evans reunion album Airwaves in 1979. Ham, Evans, Gibbins and Jackson recorded an album titled Head First in December 1974 before Pete Ham hanged himself in April 1975

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