Available exclusively at participating independent music retailers on Friday, November 28, this year’s selection features first-ever vinyl editions, rare live recordings, vibrant color pressings, and imaginative new packages that span funk, rock, punk, psych, salsa, soundtracks, holiday jazz, and more. Among the highlights: Creed’s high-octane Live in San Antonio, captured during the band’s Human Clay zenith and making its vinyl debut; Vince Guaraldi Trio’s evergreen classic A Charlie Brown Christmas, reimagined as a special pop-up gatefold edition in celebration of the album’s 60th anniversary; and Jazz Dispensary’s latest cinematic caper, Green Bullets, a fuel-injected compilation that imagines a lost ’70s heist flick. Other exclusives include Jonathan Richman’s tender You Must Ask the Heart (finally on vinyl), Flowers in the Afternoon: Late-1960s Sunshine (the third entry in Craft’s psych/garage RSD series), the first-time-on-vinyl Punk Goes Acoustic, an all-analog cut of Ray Barretto’s salsa landmark Together, and two score-lover musts: Alan Silvestri’s The Back to the Future Trilogy and John Debney’s The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.

Creed — Live in San Antonio (2-LP, Metallic Silver Vinyl)Captured November 14, 1999 at San Antonio’s Freeman Coliseum, Live in San Antonio drops you right into the roar of a sold-out Texas crowd as Creed storm through the Human Clay era. Newly remastered for vinyl, the set bottles the band’s late-’99 ferocity—Scott Stapp’s baritone cutting through Mark Tremonti’s towering riffs, underpinned by Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips in lockstep. The 13-song sprint balances fist-pumping anthems (“Are You Ready?,” “What If,” “My Own Prison”) with breakout hits (“Higher,” “With Arms Wide Open”) and fan-favorite deeper cuts. Pressed on metallic-silver 2-LP, limited to 4,800 copies worldwide. Live in San Antonio Tracklist Side A1. Are You Ready? (Live at Freeman Coliseum) 2. Ode (Live at Freeman Coliseum) 3.
