Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Immersion Box Set. Immersion editions present the complete artistic experience. Lavishly packaged in a sturdy 11.4-inch square box, the sets contain remastered, previously unreleased and audio-visual material, plus much additional content - reproduced memorabilia, brand new graphics, art prints, collectors' items, lavish booklets and more.

Released in tandem with EMI's huge Why Pink Floyd...? campaign that includes remastered CDs, Blu-Ray DVDs, memorabilia box sets, LPs and more from their legendary catalog.

Remastered by James Guthrie with artwork by Storm Thorgerson.

On its release in 1975, Wish You Were Here topped the album charts in both the U.K. and the U.S. Reflecting the bands thoughts of the time on the music business and exploring themes of absence, Wish You Were Here contains the classic cut "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," a tribute to founding band member Syd Barrett. The Immersion version features the classic studio album digitally remastered and presented as a limited-edition, high-quality box set featuring rare and unreleased audio and video material, plus a new 40-page oversized perfect-bound booklet, a book of original photographs edited by Jill Furmanovsky, exclusive merchandise and facsimile collectibles.

This release is part of a larger Why Pink Floyd...? campaign by EMI. The releases are designed to appeal to a wide cross section of their fans, with music to excite first time listeners, while super-deluxe box sets will cater to dedicated fans, allowing them to immerse themselves in multi-disc sets, containing alternate takes, unreleased tracks, restored live concert screen films and a live recording of the legendary The Dark Side Of The Moon performance at Wembley in 1974.

A series of different listening experiences have been specially created for this release: in addition to remastered CDs called Discovery and the Immersion CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/memorabilia box sets will be a series of Experience Editions - coupling one classic album with a further disc of related content from that album to offer a deeper listening experience.

Storm Thorgerson, the band's longtime Art Director, has overseen the visual design, including new booklets for all the CDs, new artwork for the box sets and menus for the DV content. Respected photographer Jill Furmanovsky has edited books of original unseen photographs. Pink Floyd collaborators James Guthrie (in the U.S.) and Andy Jackson (in the U.K.) have been in charge of digital remastering to the highest audio and audiovisual standards.
