Memorabilia
Following the acclaimed Whateverism, Italian producer Turbojazz returns with Memorabilia, a jazz house and soul-driven release featuring an impressive cast of vocalists including Robert Owens, Rona Ray, and Javonntte. Italian dance music remains one of the most organic genres, and this new album continues that proud tradition.
Eyes Open (20 Year Anniversary Gold Vinyl)
Snow Patrol's 2006 record-breaking UK album Eyes Open returns as a gold double-vinyl 20th anniversary edition, expanded with B-sides, singles, and rarities. Home to the iconic 'Chasing Cars,' this deluxe reissue is an essential collectible for longtime fans.
Thriller
Michael Jackson's legendary Thriller, one of the best-selling albums of all time, is back in stock this May. The shop owner recalls warm memories of customers stopping by before and after nearby cinema screenings — a testament to what makes a physical record store irreplaceable.
Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?
The Cranberries' debut album has been reissued with a fresh remaster by original producer Stephen Street at London's Abbey Road studios. Home to timeless tracks like 'Dreams' and 'Linger,' this foundational Irish alt-rock record sounds better than ever.
Experience: From Mt. Fuji
The coveted black-box edition of UK jazz drummer Yussef Dayes' Experience: From Mt. Fuji has finally arrived at Beethobear Records. Stock is strictly limited — fans who missed out the first time should act quickly.
Nuclear War
A cross-generational jazz dialogue on Strut Records: The Heliocentrics join 90-something Sun Ra Arkestra veteran Marshall Allen for an extended improvisation built around Sun Ra's iconic 'Nuclear War,' with contemporary soul voice Bilal adding a modern dimension to this cosmic meeting.
Chet Baker Sings
Trumpeter and vocalist Chet Baker's iconic singing debut — featuring his tender, androgynous voice and the immortal 'My Funny Valentine' — reissued in the Blue Note Essentials vinyl series at an accessible price point.
Moanin'
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers' Moanin' is widely regarded as the hard bop Bible — its call-and-response rhythms and irresistible groove imprint themselves in the listener's memory after a single play. Reissued in the affordable Blue Note Essentials vinyl series.
Maiden Voyage
Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage captures the pianist at his most expansive and oceanic — a landmark of modal jazz and post-bop sophistication. Part of the Blue Note Essentials vinyl series, priced accessibly for new listeners and seasoned collectors alike.
The Sidewinder
One of Blue Note's best-selling albums of all time, Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder blends funky rhythmic drive with deep soul jazz energy — a perennial crowd-pleaser reissued in the accessible Blue Note Essentials vinyl series.
Zelda Suites (The Live Album)
Belgian pianist Casimir Liberski and his ReTRio reimagine The Legend of Zelda's iconic melodies through modern jazz improvisation, captured live in a single 'first take' session during a European tour. Released by Swiss label WRWTFWW Records on half-speed mastered double vinyl with Obi — equally essential for Zelda devotees and jazz enthusiasts.
Something Good Has Got To Come Out Of All Of These Goodbyes
Numero Group compiles the complete recordings of Illinois screamo band The Lazarus Plot, fronted by Laura Laurent, whose raw, glass-cracking vocals define this collection spanning their debut 7-inch, the End EP, a split, and two unreleased tracks. Limited to 500 copies with a 24-page booklet.
いかれたBABY / PAPER DOLL
Two beloved cover versions — Fishmans' 'いかれたBABY' and Tatsuro Yamashita's 'PAPER DOLL' — produced by Kikuchi Naruyoshi and featuring vocalist Ai Ichikawa, make their vinyl debut as a 7-inch single. Part of the 'CITY POP on VINYL 2026' series, both tracks fuse city pop and jazz soul with hip hop and funk flavors.
Mark Pritchard's 2004 cult classic under his Troubleman alias fuses Brazilian Bossa Nova, broken rhythms, and psychedelic electronics, featuring vocal performances from Nina Miranda (Smoke City) and Eska. Long out of print, this year's RSD reissue adds the previously omitted club track 'Strikehard,' pressed on limited green double vinyl with artwork by designer Swifty.
