Similar to this release: Wish You Were Here = 炎 (あなたがここにいてほしい), but this is the version that has a gold tint on the label side and an etched/crude matrix code in the disc. This is considered to be the first pressing of this rarity.
This release sequences the album as two tracks, one for each side of the original LP. However, each track is subdivided into the individual songs using index markers, navigation of which was possible on early CD players. Per the liner notes, the index markers are located in the following positions:
- Track 1, 0:00 - "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5)"
- Track 1, 13:29 - "Welcome to the Machine"
- Track 2, 0:00 - "Have a Cigar"
- Track 2, 5:06 - "Wish You Were Here"
- Track 2, 10:34 - "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6-9)"
Note that the disc face lists each movement of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" separately. However, this does not reflect how the disc is actually indexed. Additionally, the liner notes list each of the "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" subtracks as "Part 1" (for Parts 1-5) and "Part 2" (for Parts 6-9) and provide a timestamp of 21:00 for track 1 instead of 21:03.
