<P> Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd . It was first released on 12 September 1975 in the United Kingdom by Harvest Records and a day later in the United States by Columbia Records . Inspired by material the group composed while performing in Europe , the album was recorded in numerous sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London . Two of its songs criticise the music business , another expresses alienation , and the multi-part composition `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' is a tribute to Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett , who had left seven years earlier due to mental health problems . As with their previous album The Dark Side of the Moon ( 1973 ) , the band used studio effects and synthesizers , and brought in guest singers : Roy Harper , who provided the lead vocals on `` Have a Cigar '' , and Venetta Fields , who added backing vocals to `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' . </P>
