Sunday, May 24, 2026 • Vinyl Finds from Around the World
Justice
Justin Bieber's sixth studio album Justice returns on 2LP vinyl for a June restock, featuring hit singles 'Holy', 'Lonely', 'Anyone', 'Hold On', and 'Peaches'.
SWAG
Justin Bieber's stark black-cover release SWAG arrives on 2LP vinyl, restocked for June.
Love For Sale
Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett reunite for Love For Sale, a Cole Porter songbook duet album returning on LP for a June restock. From 'Night And Day' to 'I Get A Kick Out Of You', this stands as Bennett's final studio recording.
Alpha Wave Music (α波ミュージック 緑のハーモニー)
After 2018's reissue of The Body Is A Message Of The Universe, Sweden's Subliminal Sounds returns with Shiho Yabuki's Alpha Wave Music — originally produced in 1990 as a never-officially-released promotional gift for pharmaceutical company Fujisawa. A pioneer of using environmental sound for mind-body healing, Yabuki departs from her debut's mysticism here, steering toward something more publicly accessible — an early benchmark for Japanese healing music.
Terra Ignota
Melbourne fusion group Krakatau return after eight years with Terra Ignota — 'unknown land' — blending ECM-like stillness with the mysticism of cosmic jazz. The title track opens with cool synth tones reminiscent of Rei Harakami before brass slowly rises and pushes the landscape outward; the long-form 'Cosmetic Surgery' threads through complex arrangements into contemporary jazz territory. Saxophonist Rob Vincs, trumpeter Reuben Lewis, and Brazilian percussionist Alcides Neto guest. Out on Elations Recordings.
Changes
Justin Bieber's Changes returns as a red double-coloured-vinyl pressing for a June restock. The album — Bieber's pivot back into R&B territory — features 'Yummy', 'Intentions' (feat. Quavo), and 'Forever' (feat. Post Malone & Clever) among others.
Mapendo
An East African funk rarity, buried for nearly half a century, returns. When EMI Kenya issued Mapendo in 1977, the label deliberately omitted every local musician and songwriter from the cover — wiping the names of a group that had played Nairobi's Starlight Club five nights a week, five hours a night, for two straight years. Germany's Want Some Records debuts with this reissue, restoring the band's history through bassist Bonnie Wanda's surviving testimony and finally printing the musicians' names on the sleeve.
GO!
One of Blue Note's greatest tenor saxophone albums returns on vinyl. Dexter Gordon's 1962 GO! captures him at his absolute peak — less aggressive than typical hard bop, more elegantly swinging, with a narrative warmth that matches his rich tone. This is the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series pressing, cut from the original analog tapes (AAA) by Kevin Gray and pressed at Optimal in Germany.
'Round About Midnight
Another landmark from Miles Davis returns on vinyl. This was his first historic album for Columbia and the debut studio outing of his First Great Quintet alongside John Coltrane. On the title track, Miles's muted trumpet conjures a lonely, sensual, deeply nocturnal atmosphere — a poised, sensual statement that helped set the high-water mark for hard bop.
Kind Of Blue
Miles Davis's all-time classic returns on clear vinyl. The 2020 Columbia Records special reissue is a fully transparent coloured-vinyl pressing in stereo — one of the best-selling and most influential albums in jazz history, the foundational document of modal jazz.
An extraordinarily rare Sun Ra live recording from 1977 at the Bluebird in Bloomington, Indiana, gets a full 3LP reissue from Strut Records. The Arkestra was at peak firepower — Marshall Allen, Danny Ray Thompson, Michael Ray, Luqman Ali all in the lineup. The set unfolds like a cosmic party: a survey of jazz history, collective chanting, African/Egyptian-inflected grooves, then a long arc into outer-space narrative. This edition restores material trimmed from prior pressings, comes in a tri-fold gatefold sleeve, and is remastered from the original tapes.
