Com'on...confess..........

I have about eight or so classical LP's from the late 1970's and early 1980's on the French label Astrée. Most of them are treasures musically, and simply incredible sonically. I mentioned one of them in the OP's recent "Favorite LP Of All Time" thread:

I have way too many classical favorites on LP to be able to single out just one. But I'll give it a shot anyway: Beethoven Sonatas Opus 53 ("Waldstein"), 78, and 90, Paul Badura-Skoda performing on an 1815 Hammerflügel, Astrée AS73.

Long since out of print on LP, unfortunately. I don't know if it is available on CD. As with most Astrée LPs the sound is incredible.

Also, quite a few direct-to-disc LP's from that same period, on labels such as Sheffield, RCA Japan, Sonic Arts, Crystal Clear, and M&K Realtime.

I'll mention one of them, "The Power and the Glory," volume 1, on M&K Realtime, featuring works by Bach, Vivaldi, Wagner, and Alexander Russell performed on three simultaneous organs totalling 11,848 pipes, including 32 footers. I've only played it once via speakers, however, because it caused windows to rattle throughout much of my house, and paint chips to fall from the ceiling :-)

Dave Brubeck ..... "Together Again For The First Time."
The best live version of "Take Five" ever recorded, and a rare LP indeed !

Pops-

Phish has definitely released albums on vinyl throughout the years. Today, you can download every one of their live shows (recorded by the band) shortly after the performance in 16 and 24 bit as well as lossy formats if you're into that sort of thing. Their live shows are why they are so successful. You should check some out! You can also easily find 16 and 24 bit audience or field recordings of their shows online as soon as the day after the show.

If your Lawn Boy LP is a single disc it's probably an original pressing. The recent release is a double LP. I would love to have either one as they are both cut from the same 1/4" two track master tape. You are lucky to have it as both are rare. Here's what Phish's website has to say about the recent release:

On Record Store Day 2013, Phish will release Lawn Boy, the band's second full-length studio album, as a Limited Edition Deluxe 2-LP vinyl set, available exclusively at participating independently owned record stores across the country. Lawn Boy marks the band's third release in conjunction with Record Store Day (joining Two Soundchecks and Junta) and the first time Lawn Boy has been available on vinyl in well over a decade.

This LE Deluxe 2-LP vinyl set is limited to 7,500 individually numbered copies. Lawn Boy was recorded and mixed at Archer Studios in Winooski, VT in 1989 and 1990 on 16-track 2" tape and was mixed to 1/4" stereo reels. The band won the initial studio time with a first-place Rock Rumble performance on April 21, 1989 at a downtown Burlington, VT club called The Front. The Lawn Boy sessions that followed consisted of mostly live takes with a few effects and overdubs. Engineer Dan Archer acquired a baby grand piano specifically for the recording, Fish played his drums squeezed into a vocal isolation booth and the band utilized local musicians including members of what would soon be called the Giant Country Horns. Like Junta before it, Phish self-produced Lawn Boy on a hands-on level, surrounding the console for group fades without aid of automation.

Lawn Boy was initially self-distributed on cassette tape in 1990 and officially released on September 21, 1990 on Absolute A-Go-Go and Rough Trade Records on cassette, single-LP vinyl and CD (with CD bonus track Fee). The album was later re-mastered by Bob Ludwig and re-released on CD and cassette by Elektra Records June 30, 1992 and was eventually certified Gold.

This new vinyl release was created from the original 1/4" stereo master reels with lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Each LP is pressed onto 180g audiophile grade vinyl and includes a free MP3 download of the entire album (transferred from the new vinyl master). Deluxe packaging includes an 8-page photo booklet, plenty of painted-Fishman outtakes, and an etched D-side.

This LE Deluxe 2-LP vinyl set was created exclusively for Record Store Day. Lawn Boy will be available in stores only beginning Saturday, April 20th. For a complete list of participating record stores, please click here.

Ketchup, the limited release is the one I have. It is numbered and the sound is excellent. It is my first real exposure to them, I have only heard a few songs on satellite radio on the Jam station.
