Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here was the band’s first release for Columbia Records (though it was the band’s ninth studio album). Wish You Were Here took several sessions in 1975 to record, and all recording took place at London’s Abbey Road Studios. The British rock band’s packaging of the record was rather elaborate.

The artwork was inspired by Country Life by Roxy Music, which had green cellophane censoring the album and making it “absent,” as absence was a major theme of Wish You Were Here. The album’s logo, which is two mechanical hands shaking, was designed by George Hardie. The vinyl album has a black-and-blue background.
