The 2024 reissue of Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors revives Fish’s legendary solo debut with renewed depth and clarity. Pressed on double black vinyl, it captures the artist at his most personal and poetic.

Fish delivers introspection and defiance in equal measure — authentic and unforgettable. It marked the start of an enduring solo career filled with integrity and power. For vinyl collectors, this edition is an essential chapter in prog-rock history.
