First pressing of the score from the 2023 British slasher film that generated viral buzz for its murderous take on some of our childhoods' most beloved characters. Pooh and Piglet have become feral and bloodthirsty murderers who terrorize Christopher Robin and his friends when he returns to the Hundred Acre Wood many years after leaving for college.

3 Feet High and Rising is the debut studio album by hip-hop trio De La Soul, and was released on March 3, 1989. It marked the first of three full-length collaborations with producer Prince Paul, which would become the critical and commercial peak of both parties. It contains the singles, “Me Myself and I”, “The Magic Number,” “Buddy,” and “Eye Know”. The album title came from the Johnny Cash song “Five Feet High and Rising”. It is listed on both Rolling Stone’s 200 Essential Rock Records and The Source’s 100 Best Rap Albums. When Village Voice held its annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for 1989, 3 Feet High and Rising was ranked #1. It was also listed on Rolling Stone’s The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Released amid the 1989 boom in gangsta rap, which gravitated towards hardcore, confrontational, violent lyrics, De La Soul's uniquely positive style made them an oddity beginning with the first single, “Me, Myself and I.” Their positivity meant many observers labeled them a “hippie” group, based on their declaration of the “D.A.I.S.Y. Age” (Da. Inner. Soul. Yall). Sampling artists as diverse as Hall & Oates, Steely Dan and The Turtles, 3 Feet High and Rising is often viewed as the stylistic beginning of 1990s alternative hip hop (and especially jazz rap). 3 Feet High & Rising was chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry for its cultural significance and general excellence.

This special boxset release of De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising includes twelve 7” custom singles pressed on splatter vinyl and housed in custom sleeves, housed in a box that includes a 7” pinup and a double-sided 7” slipmat, and is available first at record stores as part of RSD Black Friday.

Seminal rare groove funk and deep soul album originally released in 1973 on GRC Records, now released 50 years later on Soul Jazz Records in this fully remastered edition of this CLASSIC album for RSD Black Friday.

Ripple's unique blend of funk, soul, rock, proto-disco and more stood them alongside groups like Funkadelic, Brass Construction, Mandrill, Pleasure, Kool and the Gang, and The Blackbyrds, who were all blending these styles while remaining firmly focused on the dancefloor. Like the group Funkadelic, Ripple hailed from Michigan, and in 1976 opened for the group on their Parliament/Funkadelic Mothership Connection tour. The self-titled album Ripple contains the all-time classic "I Don't know What It Is, But It Sure Is funky", one of the most memorable funk tunes of all time, sampled many times over. This classic album has been out of print for nearly 30 years on vinyl and is now fully remastered and presented here with its original artwork.

The Body-Hat Syndrome is the third album from the rap group Digital Underground.  The album's second single, an anti-racism cultural awareness politico called "Wussup Wit the Luv," features a solo from the Funkadelic guitarist Michael Hampton, as well as a verse and video appearance by Tupac Shakur. This was the last time Shakur appeared on any Digital Underground release.  The album also contains "The Humpty Dance Awards," the group's humorous shout-out to the many artists who sampled "The Humpty Dance" before 1993 (since then the list has grown to more than 50 artists).  The Body-Hat Syndrome, originally released on October 5, 1993, is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It has only been released as a special Italian vinyl version making this RSD Black Friday the first time it will be released on vinyl globally.

Iron Man (aka the Eric Dolphy Record), originally released in 1968, is known as an extraordinarily complex and challenging recording.

Vinyl for the album ALL MUSIC calls “ESSENTIAL” has been long out of print and unavailable.

From the garage rock gods who brought the world "Super Rock," Stocking Stuffer is the Christmas album for music fans who hate run-of-the mill Christmas music. The Fleshtones just want to rock and they're not about to let Peace on Earth or Goodwill to Men get in the way. "Hooray for Santa Claus" (from the cult classic 1964 b-movie Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) kicks off the album and "Champagne Christmas" looks back to The Fleshtones' classic R&B roots while extolling the virtues of more than a little yuletide bubbly.

Stocking Stuffer is festive enough to get you in the holiday mood but rocks hard enough to keep the eggnog flowing through all your rock'n roll sing-a-longs.

Out of print since its original 2008 pressing, it’s being reissued on green vinyl for its 15th anniversary! The album is remastered for vinyl by Mike Westbrook of MW Audio and is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide!
