November 2023 New Music Releases

Black Friday Record Store Day returns to anchor the slate of November 2023 new music releases. But that's just the beginning of what the month has in store.

Bob Dylan's The Complete Budokan 1978 includes two complete performances recorded on 24-channel multitrack analog tapes on Feb. 28 and March 1, 1978, at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan Hall. More than 35 of the set's 58 tracks are previously unreleased.

Dolly Parton's long-awaited debut rock album, Rockstar, is packed with guest stars. Among them are Elton John, Paul McCartney, Steve Perry, Ann Wilson and Michael McDonald. Yes has expanded their breakthrough 1971 LP The Yes Album with two previously unreleased 1971 concerts.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience's Hollywood Bowl August 18, 1967 finds the power trio on the cusp of stardom with 10 never-before-heard recordings. The posthumous Jimmy Buffett album Equal Strain on All Parts also includes a guest appearance by McCartney, among others.

R.E.M. takes a 25th anniversary look back at 1998's Up in a new set that also features a previously unreleased 11-song set taken from their appearance on the TV show Party of Five. Reissues of the late Christine McVie's self-titled and In the Meantime solo LPs are on tap, as well.
