Possibly the best Badfinger album released. Brillant music and songwriting emerging from the shadows of the Fab Four.

Wish you were here is one of the top 5-6 classic rock albums of the 1970's. And for my money the greatest Badfinger album EVER. It has the feeling of, "hey let's just let it all out, the hell with the record execs."

No pre-packaged ideas here. No let's try hard to write a top 40 single here (although there are a few gems). This is Straight Up on amphetamines. No Dice rolling lucky 7's!! This is classic rock at it's classic best. Breathtaking musicianship, some great orchestra arrangements and even the Average White Band horn section lending to the genius.

Wish you were here is a MUST buy for classic rock fans, or just fans of great music period. Obviously never straying too far from the nurturing tree, Wish You Were here, has that Beatles sound here and there, what do you expect " the Snoop Dog sound"?? But this is a powerful, passionate record that if you like the genre, you will like Badfinger's Wish you were here. Makes me wish the Band was still here. Sadly they are not, so don't miss this opportunity to purchase a piece of Rock history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Badfinger reissue well worth the money, November 10, 2007

Horay for Collector's Choice for reissuing this almost-long-lost classic. The remastering is very similar (if not identical) to the German import released a few years back. The CD booklet is just a gatefold (four pages, including the back cover and front cover) with some liner notes. No photos, but I'd take a great-sounding CD with a crisp printing job on the front and back artwork over a muddy release with more detailed liner notes anyday. Definitely worth it. Badfinger fans won't be disappointed. The same for Collector's Choice's reissue of "Badfinger," which in parts is just as strong as "Wish You Were Here." Pick 'em both up if you can ... :)
