Wet Dream was the first solo album from Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, released in 1978. The album went virtually unnoticed at the time. Wet Dream was self-produced and Wright wrote all the songs himself, except "Against The Odds," which was co-written with his then-wife, Juliette. The album is currently out of print, although it was re-released on CD in the US and Canada in the 1990s, with some success.

[edit] Alternate Extended Version
