The 1975 Pink Floyd album “Wish You Were Here“ is coming to Blu-ray Audio in a “50th Anniversary Edition” on December 12th via Sony Legacy Recordings.

There will also be other versions released on vinyl and CD, but I’ll get to those later. The iconic album from the British rock band has been remastered and received a new Dolby Atmos sound mix by James Guthrie, a name fans will recognize. Also, you’ll get 25 bonus tracks, including an alternate version of the title track [song]. Included in those bonus tracks are the recordings of an April 1975 live concert from Los Angeles, which have been restored and remastered by Steven Wilson.

The tech specs for the original album feature audio options for mixes in Dolby Atmos [2025], lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 [2011], the original 2.0 stereo [1975], and 4.0 quadraphonic [1975]. The sound tech specs there only apply to the first five tracks, though. The tracks from 6 on out are presented in only 2.0 lossless stereo. The full track listing for the Blu-ray Audio release is as follows.

  1. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-5)
