Pink Floyd have released a 50th anniversary edition of their era-defining album, Wish You Were Here.

Out now via Sony Music, Wish You Were Here 50 gives fans an exciting new perspective into one of Pink Floyd’s most iconic and best-loved records.

The 50th anniversary edition features multiple discs of rarities – at the core of this special collection are six previously unreleased alternate versions and demos presenting Pink Floyd’s eighth studio album in a brand new way that demands repeat listening.

Wish You Were Here 50 is released to widespread acclaim, with critics celebrating both the renewed energy of the mixes and the emotional weight of the album that continues to endure half a century on.

To celebrate the release, a four-day series of Wish You Were Here 50 pop-up shops opened last week, offering fans a physical way to step into the world that shaped the album. In collaboration with News & Coffee Studio, pop-ups open at News & Coffee street kiosks in London, Barcelona, Los Angeles, and Paris. Each location carries an exclusive Wish You Were Here 50 edition of the Brain Damage fanzine, a revival of the editorial project originally founded by Pink Floyd author and historian Glenn Povey.

The fanzine appears in five editions worldwide, with 250 individually numbered copies exclusive to each of the four kiosks. Fans will also be able to purchase a limited anniversary edition pressing of Wish You Were Here 50, alongside a range of commemorative merchandise.

Wish You Were Here 50 is released in multiple formats including 3LP, 2CD, Blu-ray, digital and a Deluxe Box Set. The digital release includes the original 1975 album, featuring a new Dolby Atmos mix. 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 26, 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 b/w Welcome To The Machine, a hardcover book including unseen photographs, a comic book tour programme and Knebworth concert poster. Exclusive 50th Anniversary Merchandise along with Limited Edition product releases is also available at PinkFloyd.com.

Ozzy Osbourne posthumously received Birmingham’s Lord Mayor’s Award that is presented to individuals for “outstanding achievement or exceptional service to the City and people of Birmingham.”

“It’s not simply for a job that’s been done well or because someone has reached a particular level. Instead, it recognises people who have ‘gone the extra mile’,” says a post by Birmingham City Council.

Ozzy’s wife Sharon and daughter Kelly accepted the prestigious honour on behalf of the late icon from Birmingham Councillor Ken Wood on Wednesday (December 3) on what would have been the legendary musician’s 77th birthday.

“I just want to take a second to thank the people of Birmingham for not only showing my family so much love, but for showing up for my father in a way that made him the happiest man on the planet,” Kelly said in a video message posted on the Birmingham Council’s Instagram page.

“The one thing that my father was most proud of is that he was a Brummie [Birmingham native], and Birmingham has done him proud,” she added.

Sharon and Kelly were also presented with a Book of Condolences containing tributes from Birmingham citizens following Ozzy’s passing in July.

Ozzy, who sold over 100 million records worldwide during his career, is one of only 27 artists in history inducted into the famous Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame twice. In his nearly six-decade career, Ozzy won five Grammys and became the face of Birmingham, a city he loved his whole life.

Ozzy passed away on July 22nd, a little over a fortnight after he performed his final concert both as a solo act and with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in Birmingham.
