For RSD Back To Black Friday 2013, Legacy is offering a range of historic and classic releases catering to connoisseurs of timeless sounds, from rare Bob Dylan Side Tracks to the roots of contemporary hip-hop, from punk rock to cool jazz, from 12" box sets to 7" vinyl singles to

CD replicas of LPs in the Clash catalog.

 

Legacy Recordings Back To Black Friday 2013 releases include:

 

Bob Dylan - Side Tracks - 3 x 12" 200 gram LPs - numbered limited edition

An independent record store vinyl exclusive, Side Tracks (first made available as two CDs in the monumental Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One, released November 5, 2013) is a career-spanning collection of official Bob Dylan recordings--including previously released non-album singles, tracks from Biograph and other compilations, songs from films and more--that have never appeared on one of the artist's formal albums.

 

Cheap Trick - The Classic Albums 1977-1979 - 5 x 12" 180 gram LPs - numbered limited edition

An independent record store vinyl exclusive, The Classic Albums 1977-1979 box collects the first five ground-breaking power-pop masterpieces from one of America's all-time great rock bands, Cheap Trick.  First released within a breathtaking two-year creative peak period in the late 1970s, these classic titles--Cheap TrickIn ColorHeaven TonightLive Budokan and Dream Police--have been newly remastered in 2013 from the original analog tapes and come packaged in original album artwork, housed in a newly-designed, numbered limited edition LP box.

 

Harry Nilsson - Rarities Collection - 12" 180 gram LP - numbered limited edition

An independent record store vinyl exclusive, these 12 rare Nilsson tracks have been especially selected for this release from The RCA Album Collection, a career-spanning 17 CD collection, and include demos, outtakes and other rarities.

 

Roy Orbison - The Monument Vinyl Box - 4 x 12" 180 gram LPs

An independent record store vinyl exclusive, The Monument Vinyl Box brings together the first three landmark albums--Lonely and Blue (1961), Crying (1962) and In Dreams (1963)--from Orbison's groundbreaking tenure at Monument Records.  These records are now joined by a newly-curated fourth LP, Oh! Pretty Woman - the "missing" Monument album masterpiece that could have, and should have been released as its title song, "Oh, Pretty Woman" was topping the charts in 1964.

 

Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Fire" b/w "Foxey Lady" - 7" single - Numbered Limited Edition

An independent record store vinyl exclusive, these two live tracks were performed by the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the May 1968 Miami Pop Festival and have been previously unavailable. 

 

Sly & The Family Stone - "Sexy Situation" b/w "Mother Is A Hippie" - 7" single - Numbered Limited Edition

An independent record store vinyl exclusive, this funky 7" single celebrates the release of the deluxe Sly & The Family Stone box set HIGHER! with two previously unissued early versions of these tracks.

 

Uncle Tupelo - "I Wanna Be Your Dog" b/w "Commotion" - 7" vinyl single - Numbered Limited Edition

An independent record store vinyl exclusive, this vinyl 7" includes "I Wanna Be Your Dog," a cover of the Stooges punk standard and outtake from No Depression, on the A Side with a B Side premiering a previously unreleased studio outtake showcasing Uncle Tupelo rocking Credence Clearwater Revival's "Commotion" in a preview of the forthcoming Legacy Edition of No Depression.

 

Nas - "Halftime" - 12" Vinyl reproduction of 1992 original

Originally recorded for the Zebrahead soundtrack by an emerging American MC calling himself "Nasty Nas," this explosive debut, in the words of Vibe magazine, "created a niche that only Illmatic could fill."  The single also launched the career of one of the most durable, provocative and poetic rappers in hip-hop history.   This facsimile reproduction of the original 12" vinyl includes the full "Halftime" A-side (1. radio edit, 2. LP version. 3. LP version instrumental) and B-side (1. Butcher Remix 2. Butcher Mix instrumental).  The Nas "Halftime" release provides a fitting overture for the upcoming 20th Anniversary of Illmatic in 2014 (#ILLMATIC20 /Coming 2014).

 

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue - 12" 180 gram LP - MONO - Numbered Edition

The top-selling jazz album of all time, the modality of Kind of Blue found its way into classical, rock, and pop becoming one of the most influential cultural touchstones of the last half of the 20th century and one of the most transcendent pieces of music ever recorded. Davis played trumpet sublime with his ensemble sextet featuring pianist Bill Evans, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley with Wyton Kelly playing piano on "Freddy the Freeloader."

 

Miles Davis - Miles & Monk at Newport - 12" 180 gram LP - MONO - Numbered Edition

Classic live recordings from jazz masters Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk on one LP.  Side One is high energy bebop from the Miles Davis Sextet in 1958 and Side Two includes two full numbers from the Thelonious Monk Quartet with Pee Wee Russell from 1963.

 

Miles Davis - Jazz Track - 12" 180 gram LP - MONO - Numbered Edition

A reissue of two underrated Miles Davis sessions on one mono LP; Side One is the Miles Davis Quintet's soundtrack for the French film L'Ascenseuer Pour l'Echafaud while highlights from the Miles Davis Sextet's session on May 26, 1958 (Davis' 32nd birthday).

 

Paul Simon - Paul Simon - 12" 180 gram LP - Numbered - includes download card

Remastered reissue of the recording artist's 1972 solo album, his first post-Simon & Garfunkel, includes the hits "Mother and Child Reunion" (recorded in Kingston, Jamaica) and "Me and Julio Down By The School Yard."

The Doors have been avid supporters of Record Store Day with a wide array of unique releases through the years, which makes them the perfect band to have the first title with a track list hand-picked by independent record store owners. THE DOORS - CURATED BY RECORD STORE DAY will be released on 180-gram vinyl and includes eight total tracks, with "Side A" featuring rare original mono versions of four classic studio tracks and" Side B" showcasing four legendary live performances. The release is mastered by Bruce Botnick, the band's original engineer, and is limited to 7,500 individually numbered copies. There are two variations of the artwork, each featuring a hand written track list by one of the surviving band members, John Densmore or Robby Krieger. THE DOORS - CURATED BY RECORD STORE DAY will be available on 180-gram vinyl for a suggested list price of $24.98.

In April of 1970, the Grateful Dead played an intimate acoustic show at the Great Highway in San Francisco. The 80 minute, 17 song set saw the band jam through a mix of original songs ("Friend Of The Devil," "New Speedway Boogie"), covers ("Mama Tried," "Wake Up Little Susie"), and traditionals ("I Know You Rider"), followed by six solo acoustic songs from Pigpen. Long lost tapes for the show were recently discovered and will be released on Black Friday as the 2-LP set FAMILY DOG AT THE GREAT HIGHWAY, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 4/18/70. Mastered by Jeffrey Norman, the limited edition of 7,500 copies comes on 180-gram vinyl with lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and also features beautiful new artwork by frequent Dead designer Scott McDougall. FAMILY DOG AT THE GREAT HIGHWAY, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 4/18/70 will be available for a suggested list price of $39.98. 

Just months after the 1993 release of their platinum eponymous album (commonly referred to as The Wedding Album), Duran Duran played an intimate acoustic show at the now-defunct Tower Records in Hollywood. Three reworked versions of classic Duran Duran tracks from the one-night-only event ("Come Undone," "Notorious," and "Hungry Like The Wolf") were captured on the NO ORDINARY EP, a limited promotional cassette available in the United States. This rare collector's item will now be unearthed with a 10" vinyl release on Black Friday. Limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies in North America, the NO ORDINARY EP will be released on 10" white vinyl for a suggested list price of $16.98. 

Jethro Tull's third album BENEFIT saw the band transition from the traditional blues rock found on their previous albums and signaled the further evolution of their sound that would be present on their future album. BENEFIT is set for release on 180-gram vinyl on Black Friday. Featuring the original U.S. track list, the LP will be limited to 3,000 individually numbered copies and will be available for a suggested list price of $24.98.

With their 1992 debut album CORE, Stone Temple Pilots achieved immediate acclaim with a steady stream of hit radio singles and raucous live shows. To this day, tracks such as "Plush," "Sex Type Thing," and "Creep" remain mainstays on modern rock radio and have propelled the album to 8x platinum status. CORE will be released on translucent yellow vinyl as a limited edition of 3,000 copies on Black Friday, with a suggested list price of $22.98. This marks the first time the album has been issued on vinyl in the U.S. since its original release.

Really? Those albums can be had for like $8 each... originals are readily available and sound fantastic already. This is one for the OG vs Repress thread.  ;)

 

I'm a sucker for the line "remastered from original analog tapes." I'm wondering if this will be the same remaster as the CD reissues from a half-decade ago (which sounded pretty fucking great) or another, all-new remaster. Either way, Cheap Trick are fucking awesome, and people should own these records in any format possible.

I get it. And agreed about Cheap Trick - if this gets more people to check them out, even better. those first 5 albums are as good as power pop gets.

Good to know.  I only own a few Metallica records that I bought in Korea so I'm not familiar with their pricing.

The reissues were top notch.  The only one people got pissy about was St. Anger being $109.99 on orange vinyl, then being put on sale a few months later.  Whatever, the product was great and I think it was worth it if you're a big fan.

I have been searching for their 7" with Whiskey in the Jar and Turn the Page for quite a while.  Apparently its pretty rare.
