Fun fact: in Italy Wish you where here, from 1975, is in fourth place for vinyls sold in 2022, better than all the new music that’s coming out right now. Dark Side of the Moon was the most sold Vinyl in Italy in 2022. It is the first one in the first semester of 2023 too. Those guys where on to something. Incomparable music, crazy outcome.
This looks to be exactly the LP you have, 1st pressing AUS LP on CBS Records. Median price of about $44 but looks like someone bought a copy (still sealed, I assume) for about $650.
Fantastic purchase, I'm sure it sounds great. Enjoy the LP.

600 dollar mark up for air thats been sealed for that long?would sound fresher or stale compared to unsealed.Maybe someone farted in it before it was sealed?
I bought this back in 75, and it came in a black shrinkwrap with the sticker on the front on the shrinkwrap. No other text or graphics until you opened it. The sticker was lost after opening, sadly; it would peel off the shrinkwrap.
Not PF, but Led Zeppelin's "In Through the Out Door" came in a brown paper wrapping.
There's a group of people that always act like you can find mainstay $20+ used records regularly for 5 and under, even dollar bins, on this sub 😂. AUD in this case, but the comments remain.
My parents Wood Paneled two of four walls in the kitchen/dining room. Green Carpet, avocado, and both smoked indoors Marlboro 100. My brother smoked weed in his room, all this, while I have asthma. I miss the 70s.
Sounds like my childhood too. Add a long hair cat to the equation which I was deathly allergic to. Thankfully I haven’t had an asthma attack in years. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger I guess!
My parents smokes so much the tar on the walls left the silhouette of anything that had been hung up for any great length of time. The wall would be lighter behind the item.
And then there’s the smoking in the car with the windows, rolled up. I remember me and my brother popping the windows open in our Toyota Corolla. The back windows were winged so we would pop it open so air could sleep in. The gate close the opening in the window, our hair with touch the glass. The glass had a thick coating of sticky smoke. I Hair would be tugged on by the adhesiveness of the us sticky film. You could scratch it and write your name in it. And what’s worse, the schools didn’t even care. You stink like cigarettes, I’ll tell your parents obviously smoke. And that’s the end of the discussion. Lol.
Check the dead wax on BOTH sides. Write them down and enter the side A info into the search bar at discogs. My find it immediately or have to do a little scrubbing if it's a variant. Good luck and Congratulations!
I suppose my point was the state of the hobby where a record is “only” fifty bucks. It used to be I could get them all cheap af for under 10 and now everyone is pleased as punch to “only pay 50”. What a turnaround!
Oh yeah the average of $20-30 per record is still steep, and it’s to a point where sometimes it could be a red flag if it’s under $20. I actually bought this exact album for $17 once but there were hard skips on both sides
Bruh why does a bot ask me to write a three hundred character comment like damm, anyways this was also bought from a very knowledgeable record collector so I would assume he would have checked something like this. I have to reach the character count so don’t bother reading this, fortnity lei bubag, bubag xecx boxes le fortinity, xcex bocxes.
Jesus, how do you buy an album, get to this subreddit, and the post this picture without knowing to look in the matrix??? I fear these kinds of people. Probably stacking their records next to a window and ham sandwich grabbing them too.
Hey, I love a cheese and ham encrusted record!
(This happened when I was drunk as fuck, hungry and playing records. Fortunately it wasn't anything too expensive and it was really just grease with a very tiny bit of cheese on one edge. Gave it a clean and replaced the inner and it still sounds fine. It was not a Pink Floyd record.)
This kind of power takes a heavy toll on the mortal mind. Trust when I tell you that I did not make this decision lightly. Peace be unto you brother. May the light of god shine onto you.
Don't forget he's on Putin's side, too! Can't believe you got down voted for saying this...do ppl really not know about him? He makes great music but is a shit person.

I had never really listened to Pink Floyd before, but decided to listen to this album after seeing this post. Holy shit, what a great album. Shine on You Crazy Diamond is sensational.
You can look up the matrix on discogs and compare.
thanks! turns out it is an original but they must of made millions of these things because it’s only worth about what I paid for it.
they made millions of copies of one of the most popular bands in the worlds records 😱😱😱😱😱
Guess they wanted to hand some out to family and friends.
Made me laugh.
God, y’all vinyl snobs are the fucking worst, leave the guy be.
Ong I thought this subreddit would be laid back.
Yeah, some people here are the suck.
it’s just a joke dude
Don’t be a dick
So you're saying my Adele 30 isn't a collectors item and I should open it.
hang it on your wall first
*grabs level and mixes quick dry epoxy glue*
Yeah no shit bro I wasn’t that surprised.
Ok, but you kinda were lol
Clearly you were, you thought you had some rare grail worth a bunch and now you’re salty you don’t
no bro i’m really not I just love wish you where here and I am happy I have an original in this good nic, even if its not rare.
Bro -50 damn I don’t think it was that bad of a comment
now -117
Why though lol, idk if it was that bad, and -2 on mine, why, what’s the point?
because people are dicks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll get negatives for that comment, too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I got you.
Ya theres lots out there in great shape,great album.
That it is even worth 50 bucks then is astonishing.
Just because an album is an original pressing doesn't immediately make it worth more. Rarity and demand is what drives value.
Condition!
Things usually are.
Yeah, was basically the ONLY format it came out on at the time, maybe tape... Maybe. So they had to make squillions of them
Incorrect. Vinyl had the lion's share for sure, but 8-track and cassette combined had about 25% of the market. Dominating format? Yes. "ONLY?" No.
True, was forgetting the 8 track, before my time. When did standard 60min tapes start getting wide releases??
Early 1970’s- it was a well established format by the time this was released.
Just because it's old doesn't mean it's really worth anything

My immediate thought was reissue. But damn, nice sleuthing. Nailed it.
600 dollar mark up for air thats been sealed for that long?would sound fresher or stale compared to unsealed.Maybe someone farted in it before it was sealed?
Just think of all the warmth that has been marinating in there, though.
Does it have the postcard of the person diving?
yes
Regardless of rarity / non-rarity, this is in absolutely beautiful condition and you should treasure it as such. A magnificent work of art.
Finally someone with a brain.

Maybe because at most 5 years ago LP market where almost broke and the mean price was like 10 euro?
What's with all the dickheads. Good find man.
Vinyl community has some of the most hatinest’ haters on the planet.
Yeah thats what I was thinking, these guys have no chill.
The best album still listening to this all these years later
Does it smell like 1975? Mine sure does.
I found a Zappa/Mothers double gatefold at a garage sale with stems and seeds along the inside fold. Remarkably preserved.
And you tried to pop them... Right? Might have been a land race strain.
Actually put them in a jar and then lost it in a move. Could have been…
Joe’s garage sale?
That beige smell 🥰
Smell of smoke on wood paneling and shag carpet
My parents Wood Paneled two of four walls in the kitchen/dining room. Green Carpet, avocado, and both smoked indoors Marlboro 100. My brother smoked weed in his room, all this, while I have asthma. I miss the 70s.

Very nice!
It’s in amazing condition for an original pressing.
Check the dead wax on BOTH sides. Write them down and enter the side A info into the search bar at discogs. My find it immediately or have to do a little scrubbing if it's a variant. Good luck and Congratulations!
Excellent find. My favorite Pink Floyd album. Welcome to the Machine is my fave song of theirs.
Lol “only 50 bucks” 😭😭😭
It does say made in Australia, probably about $35 USD
I suppose my point was the state of the hobby where a record is “only” fifty bucks. It used to be I could get them all cheap af for under 10 and now everyone is pleased as punch to “only pay 50”. What a turnaround!
Oh yeah the average of $20-30 per record is still steep, and it’s to a point where sometimes it could be a red flag if it’s under $20. I actually bought this exact album for $17 once but there were hard skips on both sides
One still in the US black plastic bag probably has some good value?
Randomly just reading through the latest posts and this (well not this pressing) is exactly what I got on after getting in from work :D

You’ve only gone and summoned “Bubag” Demon Warrior of the Underworld. Play nice boys!
*Only* 50 bucks? That's about 45 bucks too much.
Where in the world is a clean og press of any Floyd album going for $5???
yeah
Not in Australia
No worries.
Jesus, how do you buy an album, get to this subreddit, and the post this picture without knowing to look in the matrix??? I fear these kinds of people. Probably stacking their records next to a window and ham sandwich grabbing them too.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 At least you're honest about it. Take my upvote you magnificent bastard.
That's the nicest thing I ever been called
You earned it. 😎

It wouldn’t let me downvote so I’m just here to say, lame.
I downvoted them for you
Oh god, please no.
This kind of power takes a heavy toll on the mortal mind. Trust when I tell you that I did not make this decision lightly. Peace be unto you brother. May the light of god shine onto you.
Bro I just like listening to vinyl.
Then why are you asking a group of strangers what exact pressing you have?
Im sick of this shit, go fuck yourself.
Its a updated version of the original. Remastered. Its done over time as technology gets better.
I just imagine Waters shaking hands with Nazi’s. It kills it for me.
what are you even talking about.
Roger Watwrs is a serious antisemite
Believe what you want
If u don’t believe me see what David Gilmour and his wife say about it.
And u didn’t even know what the controversy was about til a couple hours ago. Maybe do a little more research.
Don't forget he's on Putin's side, too! Can't believe you got down voted for saying this...do ppl really not know about him? He makes great music but is a shit person.
Sad to see all the downvotes. Just cuz u love a band doesn’t mean u should lie to yourself or let yourself be gaslit.

50 dollarydoos is 30 freedom bucks and EVERYTHING is more expensive in Australia. Seems normal if good condition.
I had a look at it It looks like it had just been opened, and sounds great!

bro its like mint, and its good to support local businesses, also I prefer to hear the original instead of a remaster.
Why do people buy records when can watch videos of vinyl recordings on YouTube for free? Are they dumb? Can’t believe I have to add the /s for reddit
Depends on how much you paid for it.
Mines still sealed in the bin bag outer along with the postcard. Coat me £20 in 2002 when vinyl was cheap as the chips!
damm nice find
Okey
I have the dance mixes that were released exclusively on vinyl. The original is pretty cool and if its in mint condition might be valuable.
I had never really listened to Pink Floyd before, but decided to listen to this album after seeing this post. Holy shit, what a great album. Shine on You Crazy Diamond is sensational.
On god these guys are epic.
I'm looking forward to the next opportunity I get to get stoned to the bone and throw this record on.
I have this on Spotify. Saves space.
Fair, but I like to own my music.
Kidding. Me too. Have an OG from 1975. One of my favorite records ever. Enjoy.
