More information: Pink Floyd founder member and keyboard player Richard Wright’s charming 1978 debut solo album Wet Dream, remixed by Steven Wilson.

Featuring new artwork art-directed by Gala and Jamie Wright (Richard’s children and managers of his estate) and graphic design by Carl Glover.

Upon rediscovering this record, it becomes hugely apparent how much of Richard’s DNA runs through Pink Floyd. His distinct rhythm patterns, song structure and style of play exudes throughout, shining a light on his unique talent and influence on modern music.

When originally released, post Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’ (1977) and shortly before ‘The Wall’ (1979), ‘Wet Dream’ was largely under-appreciated. Steven Wilson’s mix gives new life to the record demonstrating Wright’s brilliance. He wrote and produced the whole album himself and it was one of only three albums released outside of Pink Floyd- ‘Broken China’, his second solo album from 1996 and ‘Identity’, released in 1983 under the guise of Zee, a duet with Dave Harris from Fashion.

140g deep blue marbled vinyl in gatefold with 4 page large format booklet and 12” print of the original artwork designed by Storm Thorgerson and photographed by Audrey Powell for Hipgnosis.
