Probably my favourite Floyd album, I just wish my new(ish) 180g reissue didn't sound like I had a duvet over the speakers and was listening from another room, and my amp had a treble control which was turned right down

I have both an original and the 180g re-issue. I do not have the same problem you describe with the 180g version, I would suggest that if you can you give the record a thorough wet clean, I have found some new records can prove with a clean, from what I understand this can be due to residual release agent being left on the record from manufacturing. worth a try, but maybe you got one from a bum pressing run. worth a try.Probably my favourite Floyd album, I just wish my new(ish) 180g reissue didn't sound like I had a duvet over the speakers and was listening from another room, and my amp had a treble control which was turned right down
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

I could never understand why "Wish You Were Here' is so well regarded. It's not a bad record, but only has one memorable track - the title track.
Several of my fellow music lovers rate this LP highly. So just me then - and yes, I do have copy!

Ha - not heard that in years, I do regularly look around for a decent copy (which I would want to include all the gubbins that it was sold with), but no luck so far.Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Babies

Anyway, I had a 5pm appointment with a customer today, which had me with nowt to do for an hour, so had a poke round local record shop, where I got a CD copy of this, which will do for now. AND a very nice vinyl copy of "Love it to Death" for a tenner - result!
