Fish - Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors and Internal Exiles to be mixed in Atmos (4CD+BluRay Deluxe Sets Shipping July 29, 2024)

[JulesRules]

The Fish store seems to be closing for good now. While there's a date listed of March 6, most titles are shown as out of stock - I suppose you can still get them on the farewell tour now. Whether anything left over after that actually gets destroyed is another question.

Vigil… and Internal Exile are streaming in Atmos now on Apple Music and Tidal.

What a shame if some of these wonderful editions just get destroyed.
I enjoyed both of these releases,they were pricey but very well done and I passed them on to another surround fan at a discount from what I paid so they could enjoy them as well.

I hope some other solution can be found. Here's the blog entry from December:

Fish could sell the remaining stock to Burning Shed for example and let them do the final distribution.

I don't think there is going to be much left from the web store to have someone else sell off. All deluxe editions have been sold. And much of the merch is down to selected sizes only.

Here is what's left on the music side:

• Internal Exile (2024 Remix) 2LP Vinyl Edition
• Internal Exile (2024 Remix) Standard Edition
• Vigil In A Wilderness of Mirrors (2024 Remix) 2LP Vinyl Edition
• Vigil In A Wilderness of Mirrors (2024 Remix) Standard Edition
• 13th Star (CD Standard Edition)
• A Parley With Angels (EP CD)

And reports from the road indicate the stock for the merch stalls is moving briskly.

When I made my order last week, all of them (except Songs from the Mirror) were still available, then suddenly they were all sold out. So my assumption is that the majority of remaining stock was taken out on the road and less than a handful left in the webstore.

Not likely. Derek (the artist soon to be known previously as Fish) has his daughter Tara running the last days of the web store.

She posted that she has over 400 orders that she is still working on to fulfill. So I think that’s where all the online stock went.

People seem to be finally getting the message and believe that this time he’s serious about shutting it all down.

I think that even Fish is surprised with the volume coming off the website. He did go on several rants about the outrageous commissions a number of the European venues were imposing on merchandise sales on this final leg. So much so that he specifically stated that the most economical way to get merch and music was from the website.

He also has set up several pop-up shops in local bars near some of the last venues on the tour to sell merch at a cheaper price than inside the venue.

Kind of sad watching an artist I have followed for 40 years through his highs and lows call it a day. At least he is going out on his terms!!

I am gonna miss reading about all his cunning plans and misadventures. Oh and his music.
