New vinyl reissues: November 14, 2025
Many, many new vinyl re-releases to get to this week, but first we just want to shout out the excellent reporting by Zach Schonfeld, whose piece “Who Got Screwed When Vinyl Me, Please Went Bust?” is up over at Stereogum and is a must-read for anyone interested in vinyl or in the fiasco of VMP’s ill-fated subscription service. We hope none of our readers are owed vast sums of money by those people.
And again, we want to thank everyone who has subscribed to the newsletter thus far. It’s really gratifying to see so many people take an interest as we figure this thing out on the fly. If you’re reading this on our site, thank you very much—and now don’t be bashful in taking the next step and subscribing as well. It’s free, although we do have a paid tier for anyone who’s feeling generous and wants to financially support what we do. Oh, and maybe now’s a good time to mention that in December, we’ve going to start offering special perks to our paid subscribers, so stay tuned for that. (Could vinyl giveaways be on the docket? They very well could.)
Now let’s get into another insanely busy week for vinyl reissues. There’s, um, a lot. Thanks again for joining us on these weekly deep dives. See you at the record store.
The new Vinylphyle series [UMe]
Taking their cue from Rhino’s High Fidelity reissue series (which in turn took its cue from Blue Note’s Tone Poet series, which took its cue… etc., etc.), Universal Music Group is offering a direct-to-consumer series of theoretically premium vinyl pressings, cut from analog sources and pressed at a respected pressing plant (in this case, RTI). We applaud all of this, even if we snicker at the clunky moniker they’ve chosen for the series—Vinylphyle—and think the obis that adorn every release look weirdly low-budget. We’ll be able to tell you exactly what these Vinylphyle releases sound like in due time right here at The Vinyl Cut, so for now I’ll just say I’m really excited about the all-analog pressing of The Velvet Underground and Nico (one of the best and most important albums ever recorded), and I’m sincerely curious about Bob Marley and the Wailers’ Exodus (a record I heard too many times in college) and the Band’s Northern Lights - Southern Cross (a pleasant if not exactly mind-blowing record). I’m also baffled by the inclusion of Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song as part of Vinylphyle’s initial launch, as Universal is simultaneously releasing a one-step pressing of that very album as part of their Definitive Sound Series. Since that pressing was cut from the original three-track master and sounds truly stupendous, it seems a little disingenuous to be offering another cut of it and claim it as a premium product. These first four titles were cut by Joe Nino-Hernes of Sterling Sound in Nashville and were pressed, as mentioned, at RTI. Time will tell whether this is a sincere effort to provide top-shelf records to vinyl lovers or a cynical cash grab from the largest music conglomerate in the world—but for now, here’s hopin’. NL
Lush: Gala [4AD]
When Gala was released in November 1990, dreampop quartet Lush were already the toast of the UK scene. Their 1989 EP Scar had a respectable showing on that country's indie charts (#3), and their live shows were packed with fans. The next logical step was to try and capture new audiences in the US and Japan. That's where Gala came in. The compilation gathered up all the material the group had released to that point: Scar, their two 1990 EPs Mad Love and Sweetness and Light, and a pair of stray tunes that included a cover of ABBA’s “Hey Hey Helen.” It was a fantastic overview of a band that alternately embraced and rejected their punkier interests as they gained strength as players and songwriters and let their dreamier musical influences take over. Remastered by Kevin Vanbergen, Gala is being reissued this week in honor of its 35th birthday. RH
The Rolling Stones: Black and Blue [Interscope]
Black and Blue is the redheaded stepchild of the Rolling Stones’ imperial ’70s run. Not as classic as Sticky Fingers, not as mysterious as Exile, not as ever-present as Some Girls—the big hit here was “Fool to Cry,” and when was the last time anybody ever listened to “Fool to Cry”? But this was the biggest band in the world making an average album during a purple patch, or at least at a time when the patch was fading from purple to a sort of mellow indigo. While there’s definitely a lot of cocaine running through the grooves, this is largely a comedown record, heavy on the ballads and the sunburned reggae grooves. And there are some goofy moments, but barely any stinky ones—even the Cab Calloway thing they’re doing on “Melody” eventually clicks. Like countless Stones albums before it, Black and Blue is getting a mega-deluxe reissue, with five LPs and a Blu-ray, and the extra bits include a 1976 live show recorded in London, a disc of “outtakes and jams,” and a new remix of the album by Steven Wilson. Judging by the teaser track on streaming services (“Hot Stuff”), Wilson might have missed the point of the assignment—the Stones were never about precision or fidelity—but we’ll reserve further judgment until we hear it under better conditions. NL
The Jesus and Mary Chain: Psychocandy 40th anniversary edition [Third Man]
The debut album by Scottish noise-pop nonpareils the Jesus and Mary Chain has lost none of its power to grate, soothe, thrill, and infuriate. Led by brothers Jim and William Reid, the band applied thick sheets of acrid guitar noise over primitive drumbeats and ear-candy melodies. Is it any wonder then that this 40th anniversary reissue of the album is being released by Third Man Records, the label run by Jack White of the White Stripes? This new pressing was cut by Warren Defever at Third Man Mastering using 192khz digital transfers of the original tape and is available on standard black wax and a limited “hot honey vinyl” edition. RH
Chet Baker: Swimming by Moonlight [Slow Down Sounds]
In 1986 and 1987, photographer Bruce Weber shot the Let’s Get Lost documentary about Chet Baker, during a period that turned out to be toward the end of Baker’s life—the jazz trumpeter/vocalist died in May 1988 at age 58 after a lifetime of substance abuse issues. During that period, Baker recorded a ton of performances, some of which were released on the film’s soundtrack album, and some that haven’t seen the light of day until now. Slow Down Sounds collaborated with Weber and producer John Leftwich to concoct this double LP of late-vintage Baker recordings, with the volume cooled way down and the tempos set just barely to simmer. Per the hype sticker, these takes come from a 48/24 transfer of the analog tape, and the album was mastered by Levi Seitz of Black Belt Mastering in Seattle. The discs were pressed at RTI on high-quality Neotech vinyl and come inside a Stoughton tip-on gatefold—plus there are liner notes included. In other words, this package looks to be class all the way. And we’re not complaining about the cover photo, neither. NL
Split Enz: ENZyclopedia Volumes One & Two [Chrysalis]
Split Enz, the artsy rock group fronted by the wiry and weird Tim Finn, was the first band from New Zealand to achieve any kind of success outside of Oceania. At least, they would eventually, as the period covered by this three-LP set is when the band was still in its scrappiest form, as they worked out how to force proper pop tunes out of their arch, artsy approach to songcraft. We’ll have much more to say about this set in a proper review. Stay tuned. RH
Tears for Fears: Songs from the Big Chair 40th anniversary edition [Mercury]
Songs from the Big Chair—the globe-swallowing mega-smash 1985 album from Bath, UK, duo Tears for Fears—has been megadeluxe’d before, but now for its 40th birthday, it’s getting slightly more modest treatment. The vinyl configuration includes the familiar album on clear red wax with the original, unused cover art, plus a second disc of alternate versions and mixes of each album track. Tears for Fears fans (TfFans?) more devoted than me shall have to sift through the tracklist to see if there’s anything new here—most of the goodies are relegated to the new 3-CD set, anyway—but I was tickled to note that literally dozens of Big Chair-era remixes and edits are now up on streaming services. A single-disc version of the album, in Coke-bottle clear and picture disc configurations, is also available. It remains one of the most ambitious and roundly enjoyable pop albums of the ’80s. NL
Les McCann: Much Les [Speakers Corner]
Jazz pianist Les McCann’s debut for Atlantic Records, Much Les, hit stores right around the same time McCann teamed up with Eddie Harris at the Montreux Jazz Festival and recorded Swiss Movement, one of the most popular and enduring soul-jazz albums of all time. Which is to say, if you like “Compared to What,” you’ll like Much Les, a grooving, funky, and absurdly satisfying 1969 slab with McCann tickling the ivories and his Swiss Movement crew of bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Donald Dean backing him up. To top it all off, string arrangements on several of the tracks elevate this thing into a dramatic realm, likely influencing film composers of the 1970s. The German analog purists at Speakers Corner are behind this reissue, with Kevin Gray at Cohearant cutting the lacquer from tape and Pallas pressing the records. Apart from a Music on Vinyl pressing from 2015, this hasn’t been issued on vinyl in more than half a century—a terrible oversight that I’m very happy Speakers Corner is rectifying. NL
The Fall: 50,000 Fall Fans Can’t Be Wrong [Cherry Red]
Initially released in 2004, this compilation attempted to capture the breadth of the Fall’s already vast discography and, to be fair, came pretty close. It led off with the statement of scratchy purpose “Repetition” and followed the trail of crumpled cigarette packets left by mercurial leader Mark E. Smith through their time writing surprisingly catchy near-pop tunes (“C.R.E.E.P.,” “Telephone Thing”) and their regression into more lunkheaded rock. This new edition, out on vinyl for the first time, shakes up the tracklist to include material the band released post-’04 and has been mastered by longtime Cherry Red engineer Andy Pearce. RH
Drive-By Truckers: The Definitive Decoration Day [New West]
In 2003, Drive-By Truckers had all cylinders firing. With the ambitious Southern Rock Opera project in the rearview and considered by all a rousing success, the Georgia-by-way-of-Alabama band delivered a mean ’n’ lean (well, lean by the Truckers’ logorrheic standards) rock record with songwriters Patterson Hood, Mike Cooley, and new guy Jason Isbell delivering their most sharply written songs yet. It may rank as the Truckers’ finest record, so a deluxe reissue makes perfect sense, although we’ll hold the verdict on the “Definitive” part of things. The 4-LP box set includes Decoration Day, newly remixed, spread over two discs, plus two live discs recorded at an intimate June 2002 gig at the Flicker Bar in the band’s hometown of Athens, Georgia. Perhaps best of all, the package contains liner notes by the excellent music journalist Stephen M. Deusner. The vinyl was cut at Abbey Road, and I’m feeling pretty optimistic about this thing being remixed, simply because the Truckers don’t seem like the types to go in for revisionist history unless it really made sense. NL
Sister Irene O’Connor: Fire of God’s Love [Freedom to Spend]
In 1973, Sister Irene O’Connor, a member of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary from Australia, released Fire of God’s Love, one of the strangest and most alluring expressions of faith ever recorded. With production handled by her fellow nun Sister Marimil Lobregat, these modern spirituals are caught in a trippy vortex of reverb, primitive drum machine rhythms, and blissfully baked melodies. Grab this reissue from your local shop this week and look for our full review next week. RH
Bizimungu Dieudonne: Inzovu Y’Imirindi [Mississippi]
If you’re looking for another reissue to accompany your copy of Sister Irene O’Connor, look no further than this rare gem from Rwanda being pressed to vinyl for the first time by Mississippi Records. As the story goes, vocalist Bizimungu Dieudonne, his wife Agnes Uwimbabazi, and a group of friends and family members are responsible for this positively hypnotic collection of traditional spirituals updated gently for the then-modern age of the ’80s with electric guitars and tightly-wound drums. Initially self-released on cassette, Inzovu Y’Imirindi was introduced to Mississippi Records via their friend Matthew Lavoie in 2018, and the label spent the next handful of years tracking down the original source material with the help of Bizimungu and Agnes’s daughter Noella Marie Akayezu. With a CD of the masters uncovered by someone who worked with the musicians, the album was remastered by Jordan MacLeod at Nashville’s Osiris Studios and has been cut to vinyl Adam Gonsalves of Portland’s Telegraph Mastering. RH
Akiko Yano: 7 O’Clock in Tokyo [Wewantsounds]
The mercurial and fascinating journey of singer/songwriter Akiko Yano involves everything from recording an album in Los Angeles with Little Feat to collaborating with the members of British post-punk group Japan and the animators at Studio Ghibli. Around 1979, though, she was working most closely with the members of Yellow Magic Orchestra, joining them on two world tours and welcoming their contributions to her original material. 7 O’Clock in Tokyo comes from that fertile stretch of Yano’s career. Taken from two gigs at Shibuya Public Hall and Nakano Sunplaza, the live album has an earthiness akin to Carole King’s Tapestry, a playful side that found her and her band goofing on Latin rhythms, and some straight disco party starters. The record is getting its first release outside of Japan this week with remastered audio and liner notes from Paul Bowler. RH
Megan Sue Hicks: Marantha; David Axelrod: Song of Innocence; Astrud Gilberto: Beach Samba [Elemental]
Archival label Elemental came to play this week. They’ve got three stellar reissues coming out, starting with the ultra-obscure Maranatha, a 1972 folk-psych rarity by American Megan Sue Hicks, who recorded the album while abroad in Australia. The album was produced by guitarist Doug Rowe, whose bandmates in the Flying Circus served as Hicks’s backing musicians; after Hicks’s visa expired and she went home, about 200 copies were released on Warner in Australia to little response, virtually sealing its fate as a future collector’s grail. The album is haunting and beautiful, with Hicks’s naïveté and childlike voice providing a sense of melancholy. It’s that voice—raw, chirping, and untrained—that will draw you in and probably kick you out at points. But Maranatha has some real gravity to it. This is its first-ever reissue. Elemental is also repressing some favorites from their catalog, including David Axelrod’s stone classic Song of Innocence, the psychedelic jazz-funk-fusion-baroque song suite known by crate diggers the world over. Also on deck is Astrud Gilberto’s impossibly lovely, seductively chic Beach Samba from 1967, marrying her bossa nova bona fides with American-produced orchestral jazz-pop. Both were first pressed by Elemental in 2023, so if you already have those, you’re good. NL
Ramases: Space Hymns & Food Brain: Social Gathering [Cosmic Rock]
We probably shouldn’t be encouraging the work of Cosmic Rock, a bootleg label located (so far as we can tell) in Italy, but we also can’t deny that whoever is behind this gray-market imprint has pretty great taste in music. That’s proven out as strongly as ever by the two LPs they’re releasing this week. 1971’s Space Hymns is the product of Kimberley Barrington Frost, a Sheffield-born former central heating salesman who claimed he was the reincarnation of the Egyptian god Ramases sent here to tell the world about what wonders lay beyond our planet. Naturally, he chose music as his outlet of choice, and the album he made at Strawberry Studios with the future members of 10cc is a singular work of warped magic, evoking the primitive compositions of Moondog and the psych-folk wanderings of Fairport Convention. Also on deck this week is Social Gathering, the 1970 debut from Food Brain, the Japanese psych-prog supergroup featuring guitarist Shinki Chen and drummer Hiro Tsunoda. It’s a wild ride that stirs free jazz and Funkadelic-worthy grooves into their soupy mix. Would we like it better if these both were being reissued through official channels? Of course we would. Will we be picking these up anyway? Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. RH
Eyedlmode: Fogville [Key System]
The attention in the Bay Area rap scene of the ’90s tended to focus on the Hieroglyphics crew, which was responsible for some legitimately great releases by the likes of Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Souls of Mischief. But, of course, there were plenty of hip-hop acts in the underground doing equally incredible work. One of the best artists of that era was a duo known as Eyedlmode. The two rapper/producers—Rymskeme and J Def—burned hot and fast for about three years, producing a wealth of material traded and sold on self-released cassettes. They were pulling from the same crates of jazz records and rare groove singles that fueled the Native Tongues on the other coast, but those samples and beats took on a hazier tone when paired with the duo’s deceptively easygoing, heavy-lidded rhymes. Eyedlmode’s best work, 1995’s Fogville, is getting its first-ever vinyl release this week, with engineer Jessica Thompson taking on the challenge of mastering these hissing cassette recordings for wax. RH
Green Day: Warning 25th anniversary edition [Reprise]
2000’s Warning locates Green Day in the no-man’s-land between their huge breakthrough of 1994’s Dookie and their second act with 2004’s American Idiot. It found Billie Joe Armstrong listening to a lot of Dylan and playing more acoustic guitar than usual, although their bratty pop-punk sound was still more or less in full effect. Fan favorite “Minority” even sees them dipping a toe in the Celtic punk piss trough. This silver-jubilee reissue swells Warning out to five LPs, with the album, a B-sides and rarities disc, and a full concert recorded in Tokyo in 2001. NL
The Black Crowes: Amorica [UMe]
With two smash albums under their belts (1990’s Shake Your Money Maker and 1992’s The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion), the Black Crowes decided to cash in the blank check burning a hole in their collective pocket with album number three, Amorica. Released in 1994 during the peak of the grunge explosion, the record’s psych-funk explorations and rangy boogie blues was lost on folks looking for another “Hard to Handle.” It may have shipped enough copies to earn the band a gold record and landed at #11 on the Billboard album charts, but it quickly slipped off the cultural radar. Time has been increasingly kind to Amorica, and it has become beloved by the group’s still active fanbase. Their devotion is getting rewarded with a deluxe reissue hitting record stores this week. The 5-LP box includes a remastered version of the original album, B-sides from the time, newly mixed tracks from the sessions for an album known as Tall that the band scrapped before starting from scratch with Amorica, rough sketches of material the Crowes worked up during tour soundchecks, and a 10-inch record with the four songs they played as part of a live radio broadcast in October 1994. RH
Everything but the Girl: The Best of Everything but the Girl [Chrysalis]
Formed in the early ’80s by young lovers Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, Everything but the Girl is, with some long breaks between projects, still going strong some four decades later, dropping their most recent album Fuse in 2023. With the couple playing some rare gigs in London earlier this year, it seems like a great time for potential new fans to get caught up with their oeuvre. This 2-LP greatest hits compilation is a fantastic place to start. The track selection isn’t entirely comprehensive, skipping over favorites like “I Didn’t Know I Was Looking for Love” and their acoustic take on Mickey & Sylvia’s “Love Is Strange,” which hit #13 on the UK singles chart. Those oversights are more than made up for by the inclusion of two tracks from Fuse and their debut single, a take on Cole Porter’s “Night and Day,” alongside their global smash “Missing” and many other pop gems. RH
Harmonia: Deluxe (50th anniversary edition) [Grönland]
If Musik von Harmonia, the 1974 debut album by German trio Harmonia, was the sound of this ensemble taxiing down the runway and achieving liftoff, their follow-up Deluxe, released a year later, is the group at cruising altitude. With Guru Guru drummer Mani Neumeier joining the core lineup of guitarist Michael Rother and Cluster members Hans-Joachim Rodelius and Dieter Moebius in the studio, the pulsating rhythms on this album have a little more immediacy and drive, but primarily the mode of this LP continues their work of bringing about a sonic fugue state that left fans like David Bowie and Brian Eno docile and blissed-out. In honor of the album’s 50th birthday, Grönland is repressing the album on a lovely shade of orange vinyl and has promised updated artwork featuring previously unseen pictures of Harmonia in action within a thick gatefold sleeve. RH
Churchill’s: self-titled; Truck: Surprise! Surprise!; Col. Truck: One Fine Day [Guerssen]
Spanish reissue label Guerssen once again proves they’re some of the best in the game, reissuing incredible rarities of truly killer music. Tel Aviv psych-garage band Churchill’s (the apostrophe may have been an accident resulting in translating from Hebrew) released a self-titled album in 1969 that’s packed full of killer nuggets, with blissed-out fuzz rock and trippy studio effects; it’s never been officially released outside of Israel until now. Churchill’s eventually moved to London and renamed themselves Jericho Jones, then shortened it to Jericho. Meanwhile, Guerssen is reissuing two albums from the band that started off in Singapore as the October Cherries, then moved to Belgium and renamed themselves Truck, recording a potent psych-rock effort in 1974 called Surprise! Surprise! that only saw release in Malaysia. A move to London and another name change—to Col. Truck—resulted in 1976’s UK-released One Fine Day, another fine rock record indebted to the Beatles and Badfinger. All three of these have never been officially reissued since their original releases except for Surprise! Surprise!, which Guerssen first tackled in 2004 and now offers in an updated edition. NL
Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna [Mobile Fidelity]
As of this morning, the crew over at Mobile Fidelity have just announced that their UltraDisc One-Step of Stevie Nicks’s 1981 solo debut Bella Donna is now shipping. This one’s cut at 45 RPM over two LPs and limited to 4,000 copies, and the mastering chain includes MoFi’s patented digital step, running as follows: “1/4” / 30 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe.” The record is easily Nicks’s best solo effort, and includes three gigantic hits with “Edge of Seventeen,” “Leather and Lace,” and “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”—the personnel list includes members of the Eagles, the E Street Band, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, as well as omnipresent LA session cats Waddy Wachtel and Russ Kunkel. NL
Jazz Corner
Once again, there are too many premium-quality jazz reissues coming out this week to get into them in too much depth here, so real quick-like: Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions’ Pablo Records series continues with three new/old titles: Count Basie and Oscar Peterson’s 1974 collab Satch and Josh, Count Basie 6’s 1981 album Kansas City, and Sarah Vaughan’s 1982 effort All Mixed Up. All three were cut from tape by Matthew Lutthans at the Mastering Lab in Salina, Kansas, and pressed nearby at QRP. Verve’s nascent Verve Vault series carries on with its third and fourth entries: Stan Getz’s Focus from 1961 and the 1966 collaborative album from Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery, Jimmy & Wes (The Dynamic Duo). Both of those were cut from tape by Ryan K. Smith of Sterling Sound in Nashville and pressed at Optimal. Meanwhile, Craft continues their Original Jazz Classics series with Art Pepper’s 1956 album for Savoy Records, Surf Ride. And lastly, the Blue Note Tone Poet series throws us something of a curveball by reissuing Frank Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours, famously released in 1955 on Capitol—not Blue Note. Still, this mono rendition of what is regarded by many to be Sinatra’s best LP is in good hands, as Tone Poets are exemplary across the board—although one wonders if this project had come along a little later, if it would have been a Vinylphyle rather than a Tone Poet. Those last two discs were cut from the original tape by Kevin Gray at Cohearant and pressed at RTI. NL
