WYWH is the 7th album by Pink Floyd. Recorded in 1975, much of the subject matter is about Syd Barrett. His drug use and mental problems forced him to leave the band.

I have an original pressing of this album, and which is cool since the supply didn’t keep up with the demand.

The album also has a lot to do with the music industry and the feeling of the band towards each other.

WYWH went to #1 on both the UK album chart and the Billboard Pop album chart, and #2 on both the Austrian and Norwegian album charts. It went 6 times platinum in 1997.

It can be misleading to those who have never heard the album before because it only has 5 tracks.

WYWH is also at #209 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

They only played together from 1965 to 1969, but they made it big, had 4 albums, and played the Fillmore and the Avalon Ballroom in San Fransisco, which is where this album was recorded.

I can’t find this album anywhere. It’s not even on the discography. There is an album called “Live”, but it isn’t the same album, that one was recorded in ’68, and it really isn’t live. This is a live bootleg album and was recorded in ’66. The only place I can find a lot of 13th Floor Elevator albums is at Musicstack.
