I got this copy of Gish a few years back, directly from Raymond Coffer. He was the band's manager at the time and is the first person listed in the record's "special thanks" notes. It was open but unplayed, brand-new mint inside and out. Until I got my hands on it! I never hesitate to spin it, man, that's what they're for.

So that's why I joked it's first-est. Gotta figure this was one of the first 5 or 6 they ever unpacked, maybe? Like does the provenance make you think this was an early delivery to the band, so this is actually a pre-release edition then...I'm just goofing off.

I'm both old enough now and cool enough back then that I actually heard Gish before Siamese Dream, lol. This *really* cool girl Kara had it on her Walkman and we listened together in wood shop class, then she taped it for me.

I don't really care what it is or what it's worth: it's my copy of Gish and it's got a cool backstory and that's it. Spin your records, folks!

Das beisst an wie ein zorniger Rottweiler

Echt schwer in die reinzukommen

Just saw a video of this particular album on YT and immediately had to buy this record

Recorded in 1970. I’d say it’s psychedelic Jazz / Rock. Sound quality is amazing. If you never heard it, album is available at YT..

Lace sensor RSB. Matte black over candy apple red.

Siamese Dreams era replica
