Alice Cooper - A Fistful of Alice (2 LPs)(Vinyl)  Buy Alice Cooper Here

Alice Cooper is no stranger to the Friday Music label. As we continue to offer some of his greatest works through our extensive Alice Cooper 180 Gram Audiophile Series, we are so very proud now to announce his incredible concert recording A Fistful of Alice. This Capitol Records era album features all of his big hits including one of a kind workouts on "School's Out," "Eighteen," "Desperado," "Only Women Bleed," as well as later smashes like "Poison" and the rare studio track "Is Anyone Home?" Originally released as a CD and digital release only, we are doubly proud to be issuing this for the first time as a deluxe 2xLP Audiophile album! This limited edition album comes in a deluxe gatefold cover, which includes all of the original colorful graphics, plus the five star mastering from the original Guardian Records/Capitol Records tapes by Joe Reagoso (School's Out and Welcome to My Nightmare). Recorded at Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Alice Cooper brings out his superstar rockstar friends for this historic live recording - how about Slash, Rob Zombie and Sammy Hagar! This music is extensive non-stop smashes, the band is killer, and the hard rock excitement is second to none. Alice Cooper's classic A Fistful of Alice, now on audiophile vinyl, will be one of the most anticipated limited edition releases this year!

Brian Wilson – Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin  Buy Brian Wilson Here

Brian Wilson has re-recorded and re-imagined twelve classic songs from the Gershwin Brothers and completed two new Wilson/Gershwin compositions. The Gershwin estate gave Wilson access to rare, unfinished pieces of music by George Gershwin, with which Brian crafted collaborative compositions unlike anything the world has heard. Wilson chose to record George and Ira Gershwin songs because he considers the late composers of classics like "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Summertime" as a critical influence on him. "I've always loved George Gershwin. The earliest music I remember hearing is 'Rhapsody in Blue,'" says Wilson, referring to Gershwin's groundbreaking 1924 orchestral piece. "Along with Irving Berlin, Gershwin basically invented the popular song, but he did something more. He had a gift for melody that nobody has ever equaled, yet his music is timeless and always accessible. This is the most spiritual project I've ever worked on."

Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier (2 LPs Picture Discs)(Vinyl)   Buy Iron Maiden Here

VINYL FORMAT. The vinyl format of The Final Frontier comes as a deluxe double picture disc!

Iron Maiden are true pioneers and one of the most influential bands of the heavy metal genre. Thirty years on from their eponymous debut album in April 1980, The Final Frontier is Maiden's fifteenth studio album, making a remarkable average of a new album every two years for thirty years. The band reunited with longtime Maiden producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley in early 2010 at Compass Point Studios in Nassau to record the album, and then moved to L.A. to finish the recording and do the mixing. Compass Point Studio is very familiar to the band; it was where they recorded the Piece of Mind (1983), Powerslave (1984) and Somewhere in Time (1986) albums.
