Releases from the Doors, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Motorhead, Ringo Starr, Captain Beefheart and the Cure highlight the classic rock lineup for Record Store Day‘s 2022 Black Friday event, set for Nov. 25.
Keith Richards, Brian Wilson, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Bryan Ferry, Iggy Pop, Joe Strummer, Motley Crue, Dee Snider and Red Hot Chili Peppers also appear on our partial list, which you can check out below.
Fleetwood Mac’s The Alternate Collection box set, available on both colored vinyl and CD, features rare alternate recordings from 1975 to 1987. Bowie’s The Next Day Extra EP includes previously issued outtakes and remixes from the late singer’s 2013 LP, The Next Day. Duran Duran’s Live at Hammersmith ’82, pressed on gold double vinyl, documents one of the band’s three shows that year at London’s Hammersmith Odeon.
The most noteworthy release could be the Doors’ Paris Blues, a compilation containing three previously unreleased songs — including the title tune, described as the band’s “last known unissued studio recording.” “Paris Blues” was tracked during sessions for either 1969’s The Soft Parade or 1971’s L.A. Woman, but the master tape was lost, and the only surviving copy was later damaged; according to a press release, the song has now been salvaged through “creative editing.”
More information about the Black Friday event is available at Record Store Day’s official site.
