Chris Squire – Fish Out Of Water (The 50th Anniversary Remix) (Half Speed Master Vinyl) - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)

“Fish Out Of Water” has long been the secret favorite in the Yes universe—the moment when Chris Squire stepped forward and proved that the band’s thunderous low end could carry an entire symphonic world on its own. This 50th Anniversary Remix, cut at half speed for vinyl, gives the album the scale and clarity it has always hinted at but never fully revealed. You hear the bass not just as foundation, but as a lead voice, dancing around Bill Bruford and Patrick Moraz’s intricate playing, with those huge church-organ swells and brass arrangements finally given room to breathe. Tracks like “Hold Out Your Hand” and “Silently Falling” feel widescreen and cinematic, while “Safe (Canon Song)” lands like a full-blown prog concerto. For collectors, this edition is more than a nostalgia piece. The new mix opens up hidden details in the arrangements—backing vocals, string lines, and rhythmic nuances that were previously blurred. For anyone who loves ’70s progressive rock, it’s a rare chance to own a cornerstone solo statement from one of the genre’s defining bassists, presented in a way that honors both the ambition of the original and the fidelity expectations of today’s vinyl obsessives.
