Record Store Day announces 2015 Black Friday releases
by Bill Pearis
The folks at Record Store Day have announced this year’s RSD Black Friday releases for your post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy needs. (Black Friday 2015 is November 27.) This year’s crop includes that Deerhoof live album, a double-vinyl reissue of Outkast‘s classic Stankonia, Lush‘s best-of Ciao!, a new Ariel Pink single that features Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes, and a new Spoon 10″ featuring their cover of The Cramps’ “TV Set.”
Some other RSD Black Friday exclusives/firsts: vinyl reissues of Buzzcocks‘ Music in a Different Kitchen, The Clash‘s debut album, Faith No More‘s pre-Mike Patton 1985 debut album We Care a Lot, Ween‘s The Pod, a two-disc colored vinyl edition of Garbage‘s debut album, The Jesus & Mary Chain‘s odds-and-sods compilation Barbed Wire Kisses, and the rock-meets-rap Judgement Night soundtrack (where Mudhoney met Sir Mix-a-Lot).
In the more curious department, there’s a 30th anniversary double-vinyl reissue of the 1985 Transformers Movie soundtrack that featured Stan Bush‘s “The Touch” (later reused in Boogie Nights to great ironic effect). The gatefold jacket “completely ‘transforms’ all four sides from an Autobot themed jacket to a Decepticon themed jacket.” Cool? There’s also a vinyl soundtrack for Sharknado 3, which if you’re an indie band/label wondering why you can’t get your album pressed till July, this could be a contributing factor.
There are lots more RSD Black Friday 2015 releases and you can peruse the whole list here.
