Featured New Release
The debut album everyone's been talking about, now on vinyl.
Stella Lefty — Long Way Home (Vinyl LP, Blue Splatter — Indie Exclusive)
The debut studio album from singer-songwriter Stella Lefty, built around "Boston," the song that climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. It's a song and an artist that have sparked plenty of debate online, including comparisons to Noah Kahan's "Stick Season" (Kahan is credited as a co-writer on "Boston"), but the record speaks for itself and plenty of listeners have made up their minds with their wallets. Also features "Lean In, Kiss Me," "Whiskey Thinking 'bout You," "Slow Dancin'," "Good At Leaving," "Summer You Were Mine," and "Why Wouldn't We." Pressed on Indie Exclusive Blue Splatter vinyl on Ten Thousand Project, and also available on Green vinyl and CD. If you want to hear the song that inspired some of the conversation, we featured Noah Kahan's I Was / I Am anniversary edition a few weeks ago.
Anniversary Editions & Reissues
Two rock records from the 2000s get the deluxe treatment, and a pop landmark returns just in time for Halloween.
Cold War Kids — Robbers & Cowards (Vinyl 2xLP, Expanded Anniversary Edition)
The debut album that introduced Cold War Kids to the world, expanded for its anniversary. This double LP pairs the original 12-track record, including "Hang Me Up To Dry," "We Used To Vacation," "Hospital Beds," and "Saint John," with five "Complete/Lost Songs" bonus tracks and six previously unreleased live recordings captured on a 2007 tour, with performances from Amsterdam, Atlanta, Paris, and Philadelphia. On Ume. A great excuse to revisit a record that still sounds like nothing else from its era, and the live recordings make it more than just a reissue.
Underoath — Define the Great Line (Vinyl 2xLP, Jade Green — 20th Anniversary)
Originally released in 2006, Define the Great Line is widely regarded as one of the most influential metalcore records ever made. It debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, cementing Underoath's place as one of the genre's defining bands. Features "In Regards to Myself," "You're Ever So Inviting," "Casting Such a Thin Shadow," and "Writing On the Walls" across a double LP pressed on Jade Green vinyl on Many Hats. If green isn't your color, the Clay brown 20th Anniversary pressing is currently on sale.
Underoath — They're Only Chasing Safety (Vinyl LP, Mint/White)
The breakthrough album from 2004, and the record that introduced Underoath's signature blend of screamed vocals, melodic hooks, and electronic textures. It helped define the mid-2000s metalcore sound. Features "A Boy Brushed Red Living in Black and White," "Young and Aspiring," "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door," "Down, Set, Go," and "Reinventing Your Exit." If you're picking up Define the Great Line, this is the natural companion piece.
Michael Jackson — Thriller (Vinyl LP, Red & Black Marble)
Originally released in 1982, Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. Nine perfectly crafted tracks fusing pop, funk, rock, and disco produced seven top-10 singles and won eight Grammy Awards. Features "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Human Nature," "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)," and, of course, the title track. This reissue on Sony Legacy arrives on red and black marble vinyl in a gatefold jacket, and it couldn't come at a better time. If you're building a Halloween playlist, our Halloween vinyl guide also covers Michael Jackson's Scream on glow-in-the-dark vinyl.

Pentatonix — Christmas In The City (Vinyl 2xLP, Deluxe Edition, Gold)
The deluxe edition of Pentatonix's holiday album adds three brand-new songs and seven live performances from the group's acclaimed holiday tour, pressed here as a gold 2xLP on Republic Records. It's led by the uplifting new medley "Get Happy / Happy Days Are Here Again," and the live set includes "Christmas in the City," "Silver Bells," "A Holly Jolly Christmas," "Santa Be Good to My Baby," "Blitzen," "Bah Humbug," and "Humankind." All of the signature vocal harmonies and inventive arrangements that have made Pentatonix a holiday tradition, in the most complete form yet.
Kacey Musgraves — A Very Kacey Christmas (Vinyl LP, Picture Disc)
Ten years after its 2016 release, Kacey Musgraves' holiday classic gets a limited-edition picture disc that comes with a flurry of shiny, decorative snowflakes. The festive set features guest appearances from Willie Nelson ("A Willie Nice Christmas"), Leon Bridges ("Present Without a Bow"), and the Quebe Sisters ("Let It Snow" and "Mele Kalikimaka"), plus "Christmas Makes Me Cry," "Feliz Navidad," and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." On Lost Highway. A great gift for the country fan who has everything.
Aretha Franklin — Christmas Essentials (Vinyl LP)
A new holiday collection from the Queen of Soul on Sony Legacy, pairing Aretha Franklin's classic Christmas songs, including "Joy to the World," "Winter Wonderland," and "Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," with live gospel performances. Highlights include a rendition of "Oh Happy Day" with Mavis Staples, plus live versions of "Lord's Prayer" and "Ave Maria." At $24.98, it's one of the best-value holiday records of the season.
Also Just In
One more arrival for collectors.
Coldplay — Seven Backlist Albums on CD (Eco Softpak)
Coldplay's catalog has been re-released on CD in eco softpak packaging, with seven backlist titles now in stock. If you've been filling gaps in your Coldplay collection, or starting one from the beginning, this is a good moment to do it. Browse the full Coldplay collection to see which titles we have.
Pro Tip
The Pentatonix gold 2xLP is the holiday pick of the week for anyone who wants new material as well as the classics, and the Kacey Musgraves picture disc makes a great gift. On the rock side, the Underoath Clay brown pressing of Define the Great Line is on sale at $29.98, which is a good price for a double LP. And since the Ultra Clear Indie Exclusive of They're Only Chasing Safety has sold out, grab the Mint/White if you want that record on your shelf.
