Pink Floyd celebrate the 50th anniversary of their ninth studio album, Wish You Were Here, with the announcement of a new reissue of the album on various formats that features rarities that includes six previously unreleased alternate versions and demos.
Today the band have shared a previously unheard early demo recording of Welcome To The Machine originally titled The Machine Song, and other rarities in the new reissue include The Machine Song (Roger’s demo), the first home demo of the song that Roger Waters originally brought to the band, a previously unheard instrumental mix of the track Wish You Were Here showcasing David Gilmour’s pedal steel guitar, and for the first time, a complete Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-9) that joins together the two halves of the song, newly mixed in stereo by James Guthrie.
