Danzig
Danzig (S/T) & Danzig II: Lucifuge

Both titles now back on vinyl via Elektra Records

From the original era that defined the band’s dark, blues-soaked heavy metal sound — thick riffs, brooding vocals, and that unmistakable Glenn Danzig atmosphere sitting somewhere between classic rock ‘n’ roll and pure doom-laced intensity. ⚡️🕯️

Out of the four reissues in this run, Vol. 1 & 2 moved the fastest.

💀 Stock is looking strong again

Reissued 🔥

Neil Young
Mirror Ball
Originally released in 1995
Now available on vinyl 🎸

A raw, loud, and deeply collaborative album featuring Pearl Jam as Neil Young’s backing band, recorded in a loose, live-in-the-room style that captures a gritty mix of distortion, urgency, and emotional weight.

Original pressings have become increasingly collectible, making this reissue a welcome return to circulation for fans and vinyl heads alike. 🖤

Includes standout track “I’m the Ocean” — a sprawling, hypnotic centerpiece that slowly builds into one of the record’s most immersive moments.

If you have not jammed “I’m The Ocean” while driving U.S. Route 101 on the Oregon Coast at Sunset, do yourself a favor!!! 🌅🎧
