David Bowie’s The Next Day Extra contains various album outtakes and remixes from Bowie’s The Next Day album. In the summer of 2013, unreleased songs – “Atomica,” “The Informer,” “Like A Rocket Man,” and “Born In A UFO” – were finally completed after remaining unfinished during the main album sessions. Two remixes, “Love Is Lost” (Hello Steve Reich Mix by James Murphy for the DFA), a ten-minute opus by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and the Venetian Mix of “I’d Rather Be High” were added plus the Japanese bonus track “The Informer.”

Duran Duran’s Live at Hammersmith ‘82 will be available on limited edition of 11,000 copies on 2 LP gold vinyl via Rhino Records.

Grateful Dead’s Wembley Empire Pool, London, England 4/7/1972 (Live) will be released as a limited edition of 10,000 copies on 5 LP 180-gram vinyl via Rhino. Available for the first time on vinyl, the Grateful Dead opened their famed Europe ’72 tour at the sold out, cavernous Wembley Empire Pool in London.

Madonna – “Everybody (40th Anniversary)” will be available as a limited edition of 20,000 copies on 12-inch 180-gram vinyl via Rhino.

Mr. Big, the self-titled debut album by the American rock supergroup. Produced by Kevin Elson, the album proved a commercial success, reaching No. 46 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead-off single “Addicted to that Rush,” featuring the band’s aggressive guitar and bass playing, brought the group mainstream attention with over 300,000 copies sold. Several of the songs from the album became live staples of the band and have since been included in various live albums. evoXS has remastered this celebrated classic using hi-resolution digital transfers from the original analogue master tapes, and it comes first for RSD Black Friday as a high-quality 180-gram vinyl LP. The limited numbered LP, in a single pocket, individually numbered jacket with a double-sided insert will be available with only 2,500 pcs of the solid blue vinyl for the US.

Spirit of the Wild ranks as one of Ted Nugent’s finest moments because it cuts away the filler and keeps the wild man’s tendency for indulgence in check. This album marked the return of Nugent’s original sound of hard rock instead of the pop metal style of his ’80s solo work, as well as the brief return of vocalist Derek St. Holmes. “Spirit of the Wild” is the theme song for Ted Nugent’s hunting TV show, Spirit of the Wild. The sixth track “Fred Bear” is a tribute to the bowman Fred Bear. The 2 LP set will be limited to 2,000 copies via Sound City Records and makes it vinyl debut.

A special version of the new double album from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Return of the Dream Canteen, will be available via Warner Records. The RSD Black Friday release, limited to 5,000 copies, includes two LPs pressed on silver vinyl, an exclusive 24 x 36 poster, and the sleeve printed on silver board.

The full list can be found via the Record Store Day website.
