Label: Harvest
'Wish You Were' was an ITV travel/holiday programme presented by Judith Chalmers throughout its twenty-nine year run. Following the success of 'Dark Side of the Moon', Pink Floyd were invited to record the soundtrack to the popular programme. The results were rejected by the ITV producers, but the band decided to release the album anyway as an unofficial tribute. The album is bookended by the sprawling, magnificent 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' - Roger Waters' ode to Judith Chalmers, whilst Dave Gilmour was inspired to write the title track after watching a feature on the south coast of Spain.
Rating: 10/10
