- What is in the box?
- The remastered album on clear vinyl, a Blu-ray with Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mixes, and a bonus LP of outtakes and alternate versions.
- Do I need special equipment for the Blu-ray?
- Yes. The Atmos and 5.1 mixes need a Blu-ray player and a surround receiver with matching speakers to hear as intended.
- Is this worth it over a standard copy of the album?
- If you want the surround mixes and outtakes, yes. If you only play stereo vinyl, a standard pressing covers the album.
- Is the vinyl remastered differently from earlier reissues?
- It uses a new remaster for the anniversary, which owners describe as detailed and clean.
- How does it compare with the earlier Wish You Were Here reissues?
- It adds the Blu-ray surround mixes and a bonus LP, which earlier single-disc reissues did not include.
- Is the bonus LP essential listening?
- It holds outtakes and alternate versions rather than new songs, so it appeals mainly to dedicated fans.
