2016 also marks the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s seminal album ‘Wish You Were Here’. Decca Records will release the first ever symphonic reworking of the classic record on 5TH FEBRUARY and will feature Alice Cooper, Rick Wakeman, the London Orion Orchestra and also Steve McElroy and Dave Fowler from Australian Pink Floyd, who have together lovingly recrafted the classic album to shine a light on one of the greatest records of all time.

Wish You Were Here Symphonic was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, the very same studios where Pink Floyd recorded the original album 40 years ago. The sessions were conducted by Peter Scholes, who also put together the arrangement for the sessions with the Orion Orchestra, bringing a new approach to the music, yet with signature Pink Floyd guitar throughout, resulting in a guitar symphony to please any Floyd fan.
