RSD Black Friday 2026
We're excited to announce four special releases for 2026's Record Store Day Black Friday, arriving November 27th! The lineup includes a blistering performance from Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain era, Albert Ayler’s complete 1964 Cellar Café concert, a coveted album of psychedelic guitar funk from Donald Austin, and a new Allen Ravenstine recording featuring the late David Thomas and contributions from Mike Watt.
All four titles will be available exclusively through independent record stores. Reach out to your local store for availability.
Funkadelic - Live at Meadowbrook 1971
Recorded September 12, 1971, shortly after the release of Maggot Brain, Live at Meadowbrook 1971 captures Funkadelic at a pivotal moment in the band’s evolution. The complete, uncut performance features George Clinton, Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrell, and Billy “Bass” Nelson, with extended versions of “Maggot Brain,” “I Got A Thing, You Got A Thing, Everybody Got A Thing,” and more. Mastered from the original tapes by Dave Gardner, the double LP comes in gatefold packaging with new artwork by Damon Locks and extensive 1996 liner notes by Rob Bowman.
Albert Ayler - Prophecy Completed
Recorded at New York’s Cellar Café on June 14, 1964, Prophecy documents Albert Ayler’s groundbreaking trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Sunny Murray. Prophecy Completed expands the original album to include the full concert, bringing the complete performance to vinyl for the first time. Newly remastered by Dave Gardner, this double LP presents a defining document of Ayler’s singular approach to free jazz and includes Brian Olewnick’s 2019 liner notes.
Donald Austin - Crazy Legs
Originally released in 1973 on Eastbound Records, Crazy Legs is a deep-cut Detroit funk classic built around Donald Austin’s electrifying guitar work. Its blend of gritty grooves and psychedelic soul makes it a natural addition to Org Music’s ongoing Westbound catalog reissue series. Remastered from the original master tapes by Dave Gardner, the album returns on transparent red vinyl.
Allen Ravenstine - On the Mountain
Synthesizer pioneer Allen Ravenstine reunites with fellow Pere Ubu member David Thomas on a new release featuring one of Thomas’s last recorded vocal performances. On the Mountain includes two versions of the title track, with Mike Watt and William Blakeney joining Ravenstine and Thomas on the alternate version. A reimagining of Minutemen’s “The World According to Nouns,” performed by Ravenstine and Robert Wheeler on synthesizers, completes the three-track release.
