Black Friday 2017, celebrated at the nation's independent record stores this year on Friday, November 24.
For RSD
Black Friday 2017, Legacy caters to connoisseurs of classic sounds delivered on old school vinyl via these highly collectible releases:
Janis Joplin - Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits (12" Colored Vinyl Longplay)
In 1967, audiences at the Monterey Pop Festival experienced the powerful voice and stage presence of Janis Joplin, many for the very first time. Her work with Big
Brother & The Holding Company and as a solo artist was a defining force in the changing soundscape of rock music in the 1960s. Her passionate vocals on "Piece of My Heart," "
Cry Baby" and the posthumous chart-topper "Me and
Bobby McGee" inspired generations of female singers to pour their hearts out. Being released for the first time on vinyl in 27 years, Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits (originally released in 1973), will be repressed on green smoke colored vinyl in the U.S. and pink & blue splatter clear vinyl for European countries for Record Store Day
Black Friday 2017.
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds - Live At Luther College (12" Colored Vinyl - 4LP Box Set)
On February 6, 1996,
Dave Matthews and guitarist Tim Reynolds played an intimate set at Iowa's Luther College, wowing fans with acoustic arrangements of
Dave Matthews Band songs. The two hour-plus set included songs that would appear on that year's Crash, along with fan favorites "Granny" and "Deed Is Done" otherwise unreleased at the time of the 1999 debut of the Live At Luther College CD. Now, this beloved live set makes its debut on vinyl in a 4LP box set. This exclusive numbered edition for Record Store Day
