Phish Farmhouse 2-LP Vinyl with Japanese Bonus 7” Vinyl Northern Lights PREORDER.

All new 2-LP “Northern Lights” (blue/green) 180g pressing with foil numbered, deluxe gatefold packaging of Phish’s ninth full-length studio album (originally released in 2000), Produced by Bryce Goggin and Trey Anastasio, with accompanying Japanese Bonus 7". This 7” contains the bonus tracks from the Japanese ‘Farmhouse’ album release. By the time Phish started work on ‘Farmhouse’ in fall of 1999, they had played Europe five times (1992, 1996, twice in 1997, 1998) but had yet to venture to Asia. That opportunity came during the summer of 1999 when they traveled to Japan for the first time to play Fuji Rock Festival. Fuji Rock welcomed Phish with open arms, creating a 3-night headline engagement within the festival on an idyllic stage in a separate curated environment known as Field Of Heaven.

When ‘Farmhouse’ was prepped for release on Elektra records in May of 2000, a Japanese edition of the album was created with two bonus tracks from the sessions: “Driver” and “Mist” aka “Mountains In The Mist”. Both these compositions initially entered the live repertoire as acoustic songs with “Driver” debuted by Phish in October 1998 at the Bridge School Benefit. “Mountains In The Mist” was first introduced by Trey in May 1999 on his acoustic and electric solo tour and debuted electrically by Phish that summer in Atlanta. Working with the Japanese label East West Japan, the ‘Farmhouse’ Japanese CD was released in Japan alongside the U.S. import. In an era of digital music, the Japanese bonus tracks soon made the circuit among fans worldwide just as the songs were gaining familiarity in live shows.
