Last month, on the day that Pink Floyd's 1975 album was originally released, Wish You Were Here 50 was announced, which celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of this landmark recording.

Coming on December 12th, 2025, it will be available in multiple formats including 3LP, 2CD, Blu-ray, digital and a Deluxe Box Set. There's also a limited single LP with just the album on Flame Yellow vinyl, AND a Walmart exclusive solid yellow vinyl, which is now also available from Sony Canada. There's also another exclusive limited "Commemorative Japan Edition", which is being sold by CD Japan (and potentially one or two other Japanese retailers). It houses the 2CD and Blu-ray editions in a cardboard mini-LP sleeve. As some of you know well, Japanese releases tend to be of high quality and desirability, so one to consider for the collectors out there!

The digital release includes the original 1975 album, featuring a new Dolby Atmos mix by James Guthrie, whose work with Pink Floyd dates back to 1979's The Wall. It also includes 25 bonus tracks made up of nine studio rarities, and 16 live recordings captured by the renowned bootlegger Mike Millard at Pink Floyd's Los Angeles Sports Arena concert on April 26th 1975, now receiving its first official release. The live audio has been meticulously restored and remastered by Steven Wilson. The Blu-ray edition also gives fans the chance to see three concert screen films from the band's 1975 tour, plus a Storm Thorgerson short film.

The 3LP and 2CD formats include the original album and the nine studio bonus tracks. The Deluxe Box Set includes all 2CD, 3LP (on exclusive clear vinyl) and Blu-Ray material, plus a fourth clear vinyl LP, Live At Wembley 1974, a replica Japanese 7” Single of Have A Cigar backed with Welcome To The Machine, a hardcover book including unseen photographs, a comic book tour programme and Knebworth concert poster.
