The list of November 2025 new music is capped by multiple Beatles-related projects, new releases from Aerosmith and Cheap Trick, and the return of Record Store Day Black Friday.
The Beatles’ Anthology gets a multi-format reissue with an expanded documentary series, book and music compilation. The original set of three double albums will now be accompanied by Anthology 4, a new disc of previously unreleased material. RSD Black Friday features exclusives from Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Alice Cooper and Van Halen, among many, many others.
Cheap Trick’s 21st album, the cheekily titled All Washed Up, is their first since 2021’s In Another World. The LP arrives amid a busy touring schedule that includes a pair of farewell shows in Japan. Aerosmith’s first new music in more than a decade is five-song EP collaboration with punk star Yungblud, recorded after they shared the stage at the MTV VMAs tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.
Which Box Sets Arrive in November?
November also brings the first anthology devoted exclusively to Paul McCartney‘s post-Beatles band Wings. Eric Clapton‘s expanded upcoming reissue of Journeyman includes four new recently discovered songs. The Rolling Stones‘s expanded multi-disc reissue of Black and Blue features previously unreleased studio sessions with Jeff Beck, Harvey Mandel and Billy Preston.
