This summer, Eagle Rock Home Entertainment will bring Pink Floyd: The Making of Wish You Were Here to Blu-ray. Through a mix of new and vintage interviews with band members Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and Nick Mason - among others - the documentary, which originally premiered on U.K. television stations last year, details the creation of Pink Floyd's classic Wish You Were Here album.
From Eagle Rock's official synopsis:
"The band members discuss the album's themes of absence, the greed of the music business, and former band member Syd Barrett, who is famously celebrated in 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond,' which both opens and closes the album. The program also covers the unexpected visit Barrett paid to Abbey Road during the recording, the difficulties of the early recording sessions, and how the decision to split 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' into two sections was the catalyst for the album's successful completion."
While many of the Blu-ray's technical and supplementary specifications are still unknown, Eagle Rock promises that the "Blu-ray releas[e] contain[s] additional bonus material not featured in the TV broadcast version, including further interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and Nick Mason plus Roger Waters and David Gilmour performing excerpts from the Wish You Were Here album."
Pink Floyd: The Making of Wish You Were Here streets on June 26th.
