November 2024 New Music Releases

November returns with another jam-packed Record Store Day Black Friday – and lots of Beatles stuff, too.

The latest edition of RSD’s late-year sibling features exclusive and sneak peek material from Van Halen, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Motley Crue and the Doors, among many others. There are also two expansive Beatles-related reissues and an exclusive RSD single on the way – in addition to Beatles ’64, a new documentary debuting on Disney+ in November.

The Beatles: 1964 U.S. Albums in Mono vinyl box set restores the original sound to seven albums originally issued between January 1964 and March 1965. George Harrison‘s gold-selling international Top 5 smash Living in the Material World returns in a suite of expanded 50th-anniversary reissue packages.

The Cure‘s first studio project in more than 15 years is set to arrive with Songs of a Lost World. U2‘s new album How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb features previously unreleased material from sessions for 2004’s How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Talking Heads‘ debut, Talking Heads: 77 will be rexamined over three-CDs and a Blu-ray or four vinyl LPs. The six-disc King of America and Other Realms set takes a deep dive into Elvis Costello‘s late-’80s King of America period.
