Dylan, Hendrix, Run-D.M.C. Lead Off Legacy's Record Store Day Black Friday Slate

October 27, 2016 By Joe Marchese 3 Comments

record-store-day-black-friday.jpgThe official list is here for this year's Black Friday Record Store Day event - that's Friday, November 25! - and as usual, an eclectic array of titles will be on offer to kick off the holiday shopping season.  Legacy Recordings has tapped some of its heaviest hitters for this year's limited edition vinyl releases including Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Run-D.M.C. and Alice in Chains...plus a disparate pair of animation favorites!

Here's the full list of Legacy's Black Friday RSD releases, with accompanying descriptions provided by the label!  All titles will be available from your finest local independent record retailers on November 25.  Watch this space for more RSD: Black Friday news!

bob-dylan-real-royal-albert-hallBob Dylan - The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert - 2LP 12" Vinyl (Columbia/Legacy)

Bob Dylan's performance at the Royal Albert Hall from May 26, 1966 (two days after the artist's 25 birthday) is being released as a 2LP album entitled The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert. For decades, Dylan's performance in Manchester was incorrectly labeled "The Royal Albert Hall Concert." Now, for the first time, the REAL Royal Albert Hall concert - originally recorded for a live album by CBS Records - is finally being released, mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Chris Shaw.  [TSD: This show is also included in the label's 36-CD Bob Dylan - 1966 Live Recordings box set, and will be released as a standalone 2-CD set.  Both are coming on November 11!]

jimi-hendrix-morning-symphony-ideasJimi Hendrix - Morning Symphony Ideas - 10" Vinyl LP

Morning Symphony Ideas is an official 'bootleg' which places its focus on Jimi's songwriting and his unique approach toward developing new material in the recording studio. This collection presents Jimi's funk forays with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles, three shining examples of Jimi's work in progress from late 1969. "Jungle" was recorded at the Record Plant on November 14, 1969. Side Two features a September 1969 session with Hendrix again joined by Miles yielding a vigorous then-new interpretation of "Room Full Of Mirrors," a song Hendrix had attempted previously going as far back as August 1968 sessions at Electric Ladyland. During the same December 1969 Record Plant session which produced "Message To Love" and "Earth Blues," Jimi put forward the funky groove which fans and bootleggers alike have come to know as "Strato Strut," included as the third cut on Morning Symphony Ideas.  This compilation was produced by Janie Hendrix, Eddie Kramer, & John McDermott for Experience Hendrix, L.L.C.

run-dmc-christmas-rsdRun-D.M.C. - Christmas In Hollis / Peter Piper - 12" Picture Disc (Portrait/Arista/Legacy)

Run-D.M.C.'s hip hop holiday classic, "Christmas In Hollis" c/w "Peter Piper" (the lead-in track on 1986's Raising Hell) on a 12" vinyl two-sided color picture disc featuring a Yuletide portrait of Run-D.M.C. on Side A and the group's iconic logo on Side B. This disc includes a previously unreleased instrumental version of "Christmas In Hollis."

    Seriously what's the point with the Hendrix record?
    Why don't they put out something we don't have?

        I agree. In the years since the Hendrix catalog moved from MCA to Sony, there has only been one new release in Experience Hendrix's "Dagger Records" "official bootleg" mail-order CD series, and that release ("Live in Cologne") was initially vinyl-only...until Sony realized that bootleggers would de-click the vinyl and release the show on CD themselves. Sony relented and permitted a CD release. Since then, Sony has been willing to keep the existing "Dagger" CD's in print, but they seem opposed to any further new mail order CD's. I am convinced that the problem is not being caused by Experience Hendrix.
