PHISH - The White Tape - JEMP1071 White Vinyl - First Pressing
Please see my pics and details below.
I purchased this directly from the owner of an indie record store in Montana. This is a "Black Friday" RSD release from 2011, which is actually a leftover pressing from Phish's Superball release in July 2011. In my pics, please notice the original bar code containing the "8 25084 98532 2" (that was assigned to the first pressing) was covered with a new barcode for it's "Black Friday" RSD release. Next to the barcode, you'll notice the copyright year of 2011 in the bottom right corner of the back cover, as well, the original price tag shows "1111" which represents the month and year this was made available for sale.
Below is a press release from the band's website on Nov 16, 2011 (this is still available to look up online) which further supports that this release is in fact the original Superball pressing.
"Phish will release The White Tape and Party Time on vinyl as part of Record Store Day's "Black Friday" on Friday, November 25th, after Thanksgiving. Both albums will be available exclusively at participating independently owned record stores across the country.
The White Tape (180g white vinyl) and Party Time (2-LP 180g vinyl) were first released on vinyl this past summer at Super Ball IX, and these copies are part of the same original run. Both LPs will be available in stores only beginning November 25th, 2011."
There is a slight bend in the bottom left corner of the cover that has a slight crease (see pic).
