Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here 50

This box set repackages the languid yet damaged follow-up to the band’s breakout success, with its true star being the massive-sounding bootleg of a 1975 live show at LA’s Sports Arena.

Blur, The Great Escape [30th Anniversary Edition]

Packed with era-appropriate B-sides, this release celebrates the Britpop quartet in their last gasp of opulent orchestration as they moved into lonely disillusionment and reserved distance.
