Phish – Billy Breathes

Very good pressing! Great depth, and the edge is very smooth on both discs.

Awful pressing. Side 2 is unlistenable no matter how many times it is cleaned.

Sounds wonderful. Everything about this release is quality, from the jacket to the inserts to the vinyl itself. Sonics are warm, spacious and dynamic. Wax is heavy, flat and silent. A great package, if you can find it.

Bought this RSD for 46.00. Will never sell. This is hands down the vinyl version to own at whatever price. Yes it's that good.

Outstanding RSD pressing. Got one from a local music shop for alot, but I bit the bullet because I really like this record.
Really glad I did, because the pressing is dead silent, and there's so much clarity in it!

newbury comics has some for sale on their website
rn it's 20% off mail order

Side D should not have been blank.
Since it is 2018,it should have had a donut-universe etching or the studio version of "Strange Design"!!!

And but so,quoting the great & wonderful .net:

"Originally written and recorded during the Billy Breathes sessions, “Strange Design” was omitted from the album’s final cut. The band recorded a handful of studio versions of the aforementioned song, one of which ended up on the B-side to the European CD Single for “Free” (a slightly more atmospheric version vaguely reminiscent of King Crimson). An mp3 of this studio version was readily available for from the February, 1996 installment of “This Month in Phishtory” at www.phish.com, but somewhere along the way, the “Strange Design” mp3 unfortunately seems to have disappeared into the digital abyss".

This sounds incredible! Very clean and quit vinyl on first play. Can't wait to hear it in my Sennheiser phones, but it sounded joyous, loud and LIVE on my speakers. I didn't realize how badly I needed a high fidelity version of this album. Midway through the title track, I was crying. 5/5

Excellent release, in line with the rest of the Phish remastered back catalog. Record itself was flat and clean out of the gate, and dead silent; very very minimal surface noise - hardly detectable.

Great job with the mastering, too (Bellman delivers again). It sounds big and wide. Everything comes through clean and clear. Best I've heard this album sound!

I know a lot of people will balk at the $50 list price, but it is well worth it for how well this thing was done. Ignore the flippers and be patient. 7,500 is a ton of copies, so the price will drop, and if you can wait a few months it'll be available through online retailers - this was only an "RSD First" release so more will be available in the near future.

Absurd pricing on this one considering nothing new was added.
