Dylan, ‘Wicked’, and More: 170+ Exclusive Titles Drop for RSD Black Friday 2025

Get ready for over 170 exclusive vinyl titles this RSD Black Friday, featuring Dylan, Wicked’s soundtrack, Billie Eilish, and more.

A Vinyl Feast for Record Store Day Black Friday 2025

Mark your calendars for November 28, 2025! This year’s Record Store Day (RSD) Black Friday unleashes a treasure trove of over 170 exclusive titles at independent record stores nationwide. If you’re anything like me—a vinyl fanatic with a soft spot for rare gems—this lineup is like Christmas come early. From Bob Dylan’s vintage archives to the enchantingly witchy Wicked: For Good soundtrack, there’s something to enchant every collector’s soul.

Bob Dylan’s Lost Tracks Resurface

If you grew up digesting Dylan’s legendary catalog, you’ll be thrilled to hear about The Original Free Wheelin’ Bob Dylan. This special release restores four tracks originally slated for his seminal 1963 album but pulled by Columbia Records due to their edgy subject matter. The songs “Rocks and Gravel,” “Let Me Die in My Footsteps,” “Rambling, Gambling Willie,” and the famously satirical “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues” finally get their vinyl moment.

Adding more mystique is a seven-inch vinyl single of “Masters of War,” recorded in the intimate setting of folk icon Alan Lomax’s apartment, along with a candid conversation between Dylan and Lomax on its B-side. It’s an intimate peek behind the curtain, the kind only true fans can savor.

The Enchanting World of Wicked Comes to Vinyl

Musical theater buffs and vinyl lovers unite around the Wicked franchise this year. The 2024 soundtrack for Wicked: For Good was already a hot ticket, so its sequel album gets a special release: a double-picture disc set boasting an alternate cover and a collectible poster.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Crosley turntable fans will get to experience the musical’s dual witches in style, as limited-edition Crosley turntables arrive in green and pink—channels for Elphaba, the Wicked Witch, and Glenda, the Good Witch. Talk about spinning your records with a sprinkle of theatrical charm!

Fresh Sounds from Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Post Malone

RSD Black Friday 2025 also spotlights some of today’s hottest names. Billie Eilish offers a live EP on 10-inch vinyl, recorded at the iconic London Palladium—a perfect keepsake for fans of her ethereal, genre-defying sound.

Indie darling Chappell Roan pairs her latest singles “The Giver” and “The Subway” for the first time on wax, giving fans a new way to appreciate her haunting storytelling.

Meanwhile, 2025’s Record Store Day Ambassador Post Malone dives into the exclusive fun with Long Bed, a compilation of nine tracks that have never seen a physical release before. It’s a chance to hear some hidden Posty gems in high-quality vinyl form.

Deep Dives into Legendary Archives

For those who crave music history and rarities, the RSD Black Friday releases don’t disappoint:

• Talking Heads’ Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live is a real treat. This collection features a 1974 cassette demo made when the band members—Chris Frantz, David Byrne, and Tina Weymouth—were still the Artistics. It includes rare live recordings from the trio’s early days before guitarist Jerry Harrison joined, capturing the band right at the edge of greatness.
• Prince’s Around the World in a Day: The Singles shines a spotlight on some of his most iconic tracks pressed on seven-inch vinyl: “Raspberry Beret,” “Paisley Park,” “Pop Life,” and “America.” It also includes the elusive “4 the Tears in Your Eyes,” his heartfelt song for the We Are the World charity album.
• Fleetwood Mac’s Live 1975 finally gets its first vinyl release. This historic recording from their first tour after Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined still features songs from the Peter Green era, like “Hypnotized” and “Oh Well,” which gradually disappeared from their setlists over time.
• Flaming Lips fans get a full live version of their beloved 2002 album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, captured at Oklahoma City’s Zoo Amphitheatre on August 30, 2024, a hometown celebration for the band.

Each of these releases is a sonic time capsule, a way to relive pivotal moments in music history through your favorite format.
