Sunday Reserve: Kylie's 4-Album Vinyl Return, Alice in Chains Unplugged
Plus Queen's first-ever vinyl live album, Devo's audiophile debut, and Bernie Taupin's most personal record yet.
Two eras collide this week. Kylie Minogue's catalog goes back to wax — four albums, including the first-ever vinyl pressing of X — while Alice in Chains bring their MTV Unplugged session to yellow vinyl for the first time. Legends, reissued. Preorder now.
The Big Ones
Kylie Minogue — 4-Album Vinyl Return
Four Kylie Minogue albums hit vinyl in one shot. Light Years and Aphrodite return in a limited pressing, Kiss Me Once arrives as a limited 2LP special edition, and X — never before released on wax — finally gets its vinyl debut. The timing isn't an accident: her three-part Netflix documentary KYLIE had fans revisiting the catalog all spring. All four release August 7 — pre-order today, since shipping starts Tuesday, just ahead of the street date.
Alice in Chains — MTV Unplugged [2LP Yellow Vinyl]
Alice in Chains' 1996 MTV Unplugged is one of the most devastating sets the show ever produced — recorded live at Brooklyn Academy of Music, stripped down until the harmonies do all the work. "Nutshell," "Down in a Hole," "Rooster," and "Would?" get reimagined acoustic, alongside deep cuts like "Frogs" and "Got Me Wrong." Pressed on 2LP yellow vinyl, out September 25 — pre-order now.
Hazbin Hotel: Season 1 & 2 (Soundtrack) [Light Pink Marble & Light Blue Marble Vinyl]
The full two-season soundtrack from Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano's hit animated series, with original songs from Sam Haft and Andrew Underberg performed by a stacked cast — Stephanie Beatriz, Keith David, Alex Brightman, Darren Criss, Jeremy Jordan, and more. Includes standouts like "Poison," "Hell's Greatest Dad," and "Loser, Baby." Pressed on light pink marble and light blue marble 2LP, out September 4 — pre-order now.
Greta Van Fleet — Palace for the People
Greta Van Fleet's fourth album, the follow-up to 2023's Starcatcher, was recorded in Tennessee with producer Mike Elizondo (Turnstile, Eminem, Fiona Apple). The title nods to Alexandra Palace, the London venue they sold out right before Wembley. Includes singles "Play Your Games" and "Saw You Stand." First-pressing Oracle Variant, smokey quartz marble. Out October 9 — pre-order now.
