Reviews
Can't believe this wasn't repressed by now. I remember passing on a sealed 200 dollar pressing at the time thinking it would get repressed, rip.
One of the best Japanese bands of the 90's, Long Season is, in my opinion, Fishmans' masterpiece. The artwork is also beautiful. Nowadays, it is rare and hard to find.
I remember getting this in a Japanese auction in October 2021 for around $340 if I remember correctly. Even though I wasn't really financially stable back then, I don't regret buying it back then.
Noticed in the notes it says "Issued until Nov 24, 2016". Did they do a preorder type of thing? Or was there still a set quantity of these made? If it's the former, I hope they do that for new represses so you don't have to worry about it selling out.- Haggled a guy to get this for $35 shipped back in 2016. Probably my greatest score ever. Artwork is beautiful and sounds clean typical of Japanese vinyl pressing.
I am patiently awaiting for the day we get a repress of this masterpiece...!
Please? Pretty please? Repress this, i'll sell my left kidney for it to happen 😃
I thought they might have re-pressed this one for the 30th Anniversary, like they did with some of their other albums. :( Might have to settle for the CD, then.
obv they aren't super official but ttl pretty clearly talks abt an entire discog reissue in their listing for the orange repress. wldnt be surprised if they know something.
Any word on if they plan to release a 15 year anniversary vinyl reissue in 2021..?
