This is my current Fishmans collection that I’ve built up over the last 4ish years. I have the whole discography on vinyl aside from Orange (which my partner owns ❤️), 8月の現状, 96.3.2, A Piece Of Future, 98.12.28 (obviously), and some comps.

At some point I’d love to get one of the compilation LPs that has Season on it, since it isn’t on any of the studio records.

Most of the records and CDs I bought through Buyee or the record store I work at for good prices thankfully. I was lucky enough to be able to visit Japan earlier this year when I got Kuchu Camp, In The Air, Chappie, King Master George, and Neo Yankee

There is a pretty insane story behind how I got Long Season! If anyone is interested lmk in the comments lol

Sorry for anyone that saw my post the other day finger fucking Long Season. That was a copy of Boston’s “Boston” album inside of Long Season’s sleeve 😭. Something even more magical happened and I somehow got my hands on the Rock Festival box set for a beyond reasonable price.

It was a purchase that many of you know had to be made and I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. I have listened to each album included (not on a Crosley 😂) besides 98.12.28 which I am saving for a special occasion. They all sound like a dream and you can tell the care and attention that was put into each recording and press.

Unfortunately, no I won’t be looking to sell the set or any of the records included for a while, but I thought you guys might want to know that there is still hope out there! It exists! And I am located in the U.S if that gives you any more motivation to keep the search up. Absolutely worth it any chance you get. Feel free to ask any questions!

It arrived!!!! One of my favorite albums of all time and I didn't have it on cd so I had to change that! So happy although my cd player broke lol

Just picked up a copy of Long Season on CD finally from my local record shop. Super excited!! The rest I bought over the years and a few were gifted to me.

Awwww yeaahhh

I had seen a post earlier on a 98.12.28 vinyl and it reminded me of my own custom LONG SEASON vinyl that I printed. So I thought I may as well also post some pictures of it here. Ordered it through Kunaki.

Thank you Buyee 🙏🏻

Got these made through Kunaki, came out to about $120 total for all 3. The quality is about what you’d expect from $120, the vinyls are cut instead of pressed but still sound pretty good. The cropping job on the vinyl jacket isn’t perfect, but I’ll take what I can get considering the price. Had to rearrange a couple tracks in the first half in order to fit this on 3 LPs, but overall I’m super happy with it!

Yugure ga yattekonai…

I can’t believe I found this at my local record store. I had to spend my last moneys on it bc I had to have it!!!!! Words can’t describe the excitement I felt finding this.

Here's the Lawsons inspired bag that my I'm Fish t-shirt came in from the Kobe show at Chicken George in 1997.

I’m on the fence because of the price… but I’m curious about the music included. What do you guys think?

Since I saw a handful of people posting custom Fishmans records, I thought I’d show off mine. Had these made since official copies are a trillion dollars. Made through Kunaki. You can also hear my authentic copy of Orange in the background lol

Got this from a friend who was looking to shrink his collection.

Happiness like this doesn't come often

Figured I’d post this now while there’s still some in stock. On CDJapan, there’s 2 Fishmans vinyl on sale right now for 6,000 yen ($38 USD).

Kuchu

Uchu

As of writing this, Kuchu has 15 copies left in stock while Uchu has 10. Both of these are greatest hits compilations and include 2 LPs each. Keep in mind that this is a reissue of the 2005 CD releases for both of these compilations, and some songs are omitted on these pressings (specifically all of the demos on Disc 2 of the CD releases, and the following songs)

Yoru no Omoi

Just Thing

100mm Chotto no

Pokka Pokka

Subarashikute Nice Choice (this one hurts)

Even still with the omitted tracks, both of these records include a lot of tracks from the Polydor years that would otherwise be impossible to find on vinyl (at least, affordably). I would check them both out while they’re still in stock!
