Special Asian edition, it had a special pink OBI (wider than the Japanese versions); in the past, some collectors reported it as a CBS/Sony Japanese reissue, on the album there is no name referring to the country, but the album was printed by the CBS/Sony Japanese master and given for sure in circulation in Singapore, the differences from the original Japanese edition are:
- the sticker attached on the front has a white border, instead of the classic grey border present on the two Japanese editions;
- the numbers on the run-off are hand-written, instead of machine-printed on the Japanese "SOPO-100" edition.

The record was originally released with a rare pink OBI with the words "US and UK" "No.1 album" "Wish You Were Here" "Pink Floyd" "Latest and first ever on" [CBS/Sony logo] "Deep from mystery music land comes their new creative and imaginative work WISH YOU WERE HERE. This modernly designed blues rock has an impactful, energising sound that transports you straight into the musical world of adventure. The world of wow and wonder of Floyd WISH YOU WERE HERE. FLOYD IN THE MAKING. The latest album DARK SIDE OF THE MOON has been on the hit album charts for almost 3 years now; the rock generation considers that music to be the best. If that was a great achievement, consider WISH YOU WERE HERE a new and rich musical approach, but with the familiar Floyd flavour. Their preoccupation with production quality took 2 years to complete this latest epic. Always striving to move forward makes them the true progressive band, because it makes them better and better. So, in this case, their latest work is definitely the best! WISH YOU WERE HERE is the band's 4th Gold Album", on the back the OBI has the four photos of the band reversed, Wright's and Mason's names are placed in the wrong order.
