  1. On July 11 & 12, The Freezer at Randall’s Island will play host to the JEMP Record Store. We’re excited to announce that Phish will release A Picture Of Nectar, the band’s third full-length studio album, as a Limited Edition Deluxe 2-LP vinyl set, available exclusively for the first time at the JEMP Records Store at Randall’s Island. The LE Deluxe 2-LP vinyl set is limited to 7,500 individually foil stamped, numbered copies; 2,500 of which will be available at Randall’s (the remaining quantities will be available in stores at at Phish Dry Goods at a later date, so fans at Randall’s will get the first crack at the release months in advance). This will be the first time A Picture of Nectar has been pressed on vinyl.

    A Picture of Nectar was recorded in 1991 at White Crow Studios in Burlington, Vermont on 24-track 2″ tape and mixed to 1/2″ stereo reels. This was the band’s major label debut and the start of a long relationship with Elektra. It was also their tribute to Nectar Rorris, owner of Nectar’s in Burlington, where Phish played many multiple night stands in the 1980′s that in their words “taught us how to play.”

    Like Junta and Lawn Boy, Phish self-produced A Picture of Nectar “with a lot of help from” Engineer Kevin Halpin. The material displayed the growing extent and diversity of Phish’s talents honed throughout eight years of rehearsals and hundreds of live shows. Twenty two years later, nearly every song on A Picture of Nectar is still in live rotation today.

    A Picture of Nectar was mastered by Bob Ludwig and released by Elektra February 18, 1992 on CD and cassette. The album went on to be certified Gold. In 2014, Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering cut the lacquers from the original stereo master reels for the vinyl edition. Each LP is pressed onto 180g audiophile grade vinyl and includes a free MP3 download of the album (transferred from the vinyl master).

    We’ll be announcing additional details about picking up the release at Randall’s Island this week. There will be a merchandise check on site, so that you don't have to haul around your records all day.

  2. Still hoping to make it out to this run, won't know for sure for another few days. If I miss it I take solace in the fact that the last few show exclusive vinyl releases ended up easy enough to find (Party Time, White Tape). The phrasing of the announcement also makes it sound like this will be available more widely down the road "which will be available for the first time exclusively at Randall's Island"

  3. I ordered ZP I & II and Nirvana - Nevermind which was backordered (yeah, I know, dumb) and the status has always said expected ship date of June 20th for all 3 of them. I checked it today and now it says that ZP II shipped (which was the free one). So I don't really know what's going on haha hopefully that at least guarantees I get 1 for free.

    I ordered the same 3 records. They all show as shipped in B&N with the same tracking, but arrived today without Nevermind. Had a chat with B&N online and they told me Nevermind is shipping out on July 10th now.  So they held the Led Zep records this whole time so they could ship together with Nevermind, only to ship them separately after all...

  4. I wanted both variants of this repress so ordered the US from SRC and the EU from Banquet records. SRC of course is delayed, but I hadn't heard anything from Banquet so I emailed them:
     

    We're still yet to receive the re-press of this, which is why it's still listed as a pre-order on the site. We're chasing it up with the supplier and it'll be sent as soon as we have it, but if you don't want to wait any longer just let us know.

    Honestly as long as I get one copy of this to listen to I'll be happy, but this is some shady shit with these MoV Mars Volta releases.

  5. Really? Inner sleeve splits make you never order from someone again? How is that anyone but the post office's fault. Unless SRC put the sleeves in there already split?

    Refusing to take the records out of the sleeve when somebody specifically asks is reason enough. If I'm spending 50 dollars on a new record I think its reasonable to ask them to take a 20 second precaution to make sure my limited, collectors edition item gets to me safe. I've got another 80 bucks of vinyl preordered with them, I really prefer if it arrived in new condition.
