Pearl Jam fans know that one of the toughest albums for them to get on vinyl is Eddie Vedder's excellent soundtrack to Into The Wild. It's a beautifully packaged album, with a gorgeous cover and a book of photos inside. The trouble is the album was very limited and typically goes for about $200 on Ebay.
The good news is that an import press of the soundtrack, with a new cover, is set to be released Sept. 21. Retailers have been listing this vinyl version for about $35.
Some other notable releases to look forward to:
Neil Young's Le Noise has fans giddy with excitement. Set for a Sept. 28 release, the album features just Young singing and playing guitar. Acclaimed producer Daniel Lanois adds his special touch.
Antony and the Johnsons return with Swanlights on Oct. 12.
We've also learned that Sugarland's next release, The Incredible Machine, will get a vinyl treatment. The album has a Oct. 19 street date. Jennifer Nettles isn't just one of the best singer's in country music. She's one of the best singers period. And, it's nice to see some new country albums coming out on vinyl. The genre has been behind indie rock and jazz in doing this.
Also, set for an Oct. 19 release is the Elton John and Leon Russell collaboration, The Union. Elton has made it clear that Russell is his hero, so this could be special. Elton still makes good music when he's inspired. T Bone Burnett, the busiest man in music, produces.
