Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by British progressive rock band Pink Floyd,
released in September 1975. Inspired by material composed by the group while touring Europe,
it was recorded after numerous sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London. . The album
explores themes such as absence, the music industry and the mental deterioration of Syd
Barrett, one of the band's founders. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", in two parts, uniting
them with new compositions. "Shine On" is a tribute to Barrett,[5][7][8] who,
coincidentally, paid a visit to the studio while it was being recorded. The band was unable
to immediately recognize him, as he had gained weight and undergone changes in his
appearance.
As with their previous work, The Dark Side of the Moon, the band made use of studio effects
and synthesizers. The album's graphic design, again done by Storm Thorgerson, contained a
black sleeve hidden in the album art. Wish You Were Here debuted at a concert held in
Knebworth in July 1975 and was released in September of that year, becoming an instant hit.
As a result, the EMI label was unable to manufacture enough copies to satisfy the demand for
the disc. Although initially the album received mixed reviews, it was acclaimed by experts,
being listed at number 209 in Rolling Stone's "500 Best Albums Ever". David Gilmour and
Richard Wright have both stated that it is their favorite album by the band.
Animals is the tenth studio album by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released in
January 1977. Following the line of previous albums, The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You
Were Here, this is also a concept album, which makes criticism of political and social
conditions in England in the 1970s, in addition to presenting a notable change in the
group's musical style. Animals was recorded at the band's studios, Britannia Row Studios, in
London and its production was marked by the first signs of discord that would later
culminate in the departure of keyboardist Richard Wright from the band. The cover of the
album, a pig flying between two chimneys of the Battersea Power Station, was designed by
bassist and lyricist Roger Waters, together with Storm Thorgerson and the agency Hipgnosis,
a longtime collaborator of the group.
The album was released to generally positive reviews in the UK, where it peaked at number
two on the local music chart. It was also successful in the United States, reaching number
three on the Billboard charts and, although it had only spent six months on the North
American charts, its sales earned it a quadruple platinum certification by the Recording
Industry Association of America. . The size of venues the band played at on the In the Flesh
tour and an incident in which Waters spat on a fan were major catalysts for the bassist to
develop The Wall, the band's follow-up album.
