2,” which includes some selections made famous by the movie “Magnolia.” It was previously only available on LP as an expensive and very hard to find Mobile Fidelity edition. U2 is heavily into commemorating the 40th anniversary of its first album, “Boy.” In September, that entailed releasing an EP of singles and live material from 1980, but Black Friday will bring the whole enchilada, as “Boy” gets a 40-year edition on white vinyl, with 10,000 copies available.Īmong artists who didn’t just already have a Record Store Day release out, Aimee Mann may stand most prominent, with a deluxe vinyl edition of her most popular album, the 20-year-old “Bachelor No.
Come November 27, it’ll be followed up by “The Asylum Albums,” a three-record set, a pressing of a mere 2,000 just like its predecessor. A boxed set of John Prine’s initial 1970s Atlantic albums proved to be one of the hardest-to-find items on the September drop date. The Weeknd is not the only participant in one of the recent “drops” who will have a quick sequel in stores on Black Friday. The Weeknd just had a quick sellout on the September RSD “drop” date with the first vinyl release of his “My Beautiful Melancholy” EP, and he’ll return on Black Friday with another EP release that’s certain to move quickly, “After Hours (The Remixes),” with 5,000 copies pressed. That Pop Smoke’s album has not already come out in any physical format - even CD - will be surprising only to those who don’t follow trends in physical media, as most new hip-hop releases now come out only digitally. It’ll be released in cassette format (2,000 copies) and as a double-CD (5,000 copies).
Pop Smoke’s huge posthumous release of this year, “Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon,” will be coming out in two formats for RSD - and neither is vinyl. For anyone who ever complained that Record Store Day is too strictly focused on LP exclusives, to the exclusion of customers who don’t own a turntable, there’s one interesting wrinkle in this year’s lineup.
