Limited Editions

A limited edition is an album released on LP in a limited pressing, often differing from the standard release in its vinyl colour or number of records. On this page you'll find limited edition vinyl across genres: rock, pop, jazz, electronic music, metal, soul and hip hop. You can choose from coloured reissues of classic albums, anniversary editions and new releases from the past few years. Featured artists include Linkin Park, AC/DC, The Weeknd, Michael Jackson, Slipknot and Frank Sinatra.

What do the labels on limited editions mean?

An album title often has several labels in brackets, each describing a different feature of the record. A limited edition does not automatically mean coloured vinyl: some limited edition records are black, and the colour is a separate detail.

How can you identify the colour and number of records in a particular edition?

The product title tells you both the colour and the number of records. Linkin Park Meteora was reissued on a single LP with red and gold splatter, while The Weeknd After Hours was released as a limited edition on two clear vinyl LPs with blood-red splatter. AC/DC Back In Black has a metallic gold colour, and Megadeth Rust In Peace is a limited edition on 180-gram vinyl. One album can have several limited versions in different colours, so compare these details for each individual release when building your collection.

Where can you find more collectors' editions?

Records prepared by labels for Record Store Day, the day celebrating independent record shops, have their own Record Store Day editions page. Alongside full-length albums on 12-inch vinyl, limited editions also include 7-inch singles and releases that play at 45 revolutions per minute. You'll find standard and limited releases from all genres together in the vinyl LP records category.
