Hey, Vinyl Fans:

There's a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks. There's no slow down of good stuff in November.

Here are a few of the albums I'm looking forward to:

Elliott Smith—An Introduction to ... Elliott Smith (Kill Rock Stars) has a Nov. 2 release date.

Bruce Springsteen—A three-disc vinyl package of The Promise hits the streets Nov. 16. That will go nicely with the The Promise:The Darkness On The Edge Of Town Story box set, with its three CDs and three DVDs. There are 21 unreleased songs here. Am I dreaming?

Norah Jones—...Featuring Norah Jones (Blue Note) also has a Nov. 16 release date. The album collects the collaborations that Jones has done during the past decade with everyone from Ray Charles to Ryan Adams.

Taylor Swift—Country's biggest star releases Speak Now (Big Machine) on vinyl also on Nov. 16.

Cowboy Junkies—Renmin Park (Diverse) gets its vinyl release Nov. 16, a busy day indeed.

Rolling Stones—The Rolling Stones unleash a couple of mammoth box sets. The Rolling Stones 1964-1969 (Universal) features nine remastered albums. The notable albums on this collection of early materials include Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed. The Rolling Stones 1971-2005 includes 14 remastered albums. Both sets, which will cost you about $350 each, have a Nov. 22 release.
