Courtesy of Record Store DayJust a reminder that the 2018 edition Record Store Day’s Black Friday celebration is scheduled for today, November 23. As usual, a wide variety of limited-edition vinyl discs will be available exclusively in independent record stores, including releases by Paul McCartney, Keith Richards, Madonna, U2 and Eric Clapton.
McCartney’s offering is a seven-inch disc featuring “I Don’t Know” and “Come On to Me” — the first two singles from his latest album, Egypt Station.
Richards will issue a 12-inch single featuring his 1978 cover of Chuck Berry‘s “Run Rudolph Run” on red vinyl. The disc also includes the Rolling Stones guitarist’s takes on two reggae tunes: Jimmy Cliff‘s “The Harder They Come” and Toots & the Maytals‘ “Pressure Drop.”
Madonna’s Black Friday release is a 20th anniversary edition of her Ray of Light album, which will be issued as a two-LP set on clear vinyl.
U2’s contribution to the campaign is a 12-inch single boasting a remastered version of its 1995 song “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me,” and a 2018 remix of the track featuring vocals by Gavin Friday and Arcade Fire‘s Régine Chassagne.
Clapton, whose first-ever holiday album, Happy Xmas, comes out this Friday, will release a 12-inch single on Black Friday including two new tracks not included on the Christmas collection.
