Best copy of Wish You Were Here


What is the best-sounding vinyl pressing of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here?

Better Records just had three of these on their hot stampers list. $499 super duper copy $399 Super copy $299 Excellent copy. WOw and they all sold within a day. So much for a recession. Funny thing was they where all custom lable which some have said wasn't as good as a plain ole domestic. Go figure. If you find a copy for $4.99 and you like it well you just saved yourself a ton of $$$$
My first copy of WYWH was an 8 track tape. Sounded good, to me! Much later I aquired the LP just for the artwork. And the cool blue shrink wrap. Was played on a Dual table with V15 III cart. And several generations of electronics. Too bad I dumped my vinyl in 87 or so. Never gonna be able to get that stuff back again....
After years of buying every WYWH in sight, my best is an early 80's columbia JC33453. Quiet quality pressing, a little rolled, wooly bass, blustery midrange. Beats my early UK Harvest by a mile.
I have had good luck with the orig US release...although I paid a bit of premium
at a HiFi shop...and they ran it thru some mega $$$ cleaning machine....sounds amazing...i also have CBS master sound CD which is nice as well...wasn't blown away by recent reissues...
