KISS - KISS Destroys Anaheim '76 (2LP, 180g Black Vinyl)

KISS Destroys Anaheim '76, 2LP, 180g Black Vinyl Packshot at Toucan Records

On August 20, 1976, KISS stepped onto the stage at Anaheim Stadium before more than 42,000 people, then the largest audience the band had ever played for. KISS Destroys Anaheim '76 captures that night during the Destroyer era, with "Detroit Rock City," "King of the Night Time World," "Strutter," "Shout It Out Loud," and other staples delivered with the volume, swagger, and theatrical hard-rock attack that had turned KISS into an arena-level phenomenon. Eddie Kramer, who recorded the concert in 1976, returned to the original multitrack tapes to create a new mix for this 50th anniversary release. The complete 60-plus-minute performance is spread over two 180g black vinyl LPs, accompanied by an insert featuring archival photos, memorabilia imagery, and liner-note highlights.

Twenty One Pilots - More Than We Ever Imagined: Live In Mexico City on 2 LP Red Vinyl, Packshot at Toucan Records

Twenty One Pilots capture the scale and intensity of their Clancy World Tour on More Than We Ever Imagined: Live In Mexico City, recorded at Estadio GNP Seguros before approximately 65,000 fans. The 21-song set moves through "Overcompensate," "Holding On To You," "Car Radio," "Tear In My Heart," "Heathens," "Next Semester," "Ride," "Stressed Out," and more, bringing together the duo's mix of alternative rock, electronic pop, hip-hop rhythms, piano-driven passages, and arena-sized choruses. The performance shifts easily between explosive crowd-driven moments and more atmospheric passages, emphasizing the contrast that has long been central to the band's sound. Released as a limited edition double LP on red vinyl in a gatefold jacket, the album captures one of the biggest performances of the tour in a physical edition built around the full live experience.

Weezer - Weezer (Indie Exclusive Gold Colored Vinyl)

Weezer add another color to their long-running series of self-titled albums with Weezer, informally dubbed the "Gold Album," their 20th studio album and one of the band's most collaborative projects to date. Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell, and Scott Shriner returned to a rehearsal-room approach, playing and developing songs together with an emphasis on the direct guitar, bass, drums, and melody-driven sound at the heart of Weezer. The ten-track album includes "Shine Again," "Say Yes," "Don't Make It Weird," "The LA Sound," and "We Might As Well Be Strangers," featuring Karly Hartzman of Wednesday, while crunchy guitars, bright hooks, punchy rhythms, and Cuomo's unmistakable vocals keep the record firmly connected to the band's power-pop roots. Produced by Kenneth Blume and Klas Ahlund, Weezer arrives in an Indie Exclusive edition pressed on gold colored vinyl.

Brandon Flowers - THRASHER, Indie Exclusive, Ground Red Colored Vinyl LP, Packshot at Toucan Records

Brandon Flowers returns with THRASHER, his third solo album and first outside The Killers in more than a decade, drawing heavily on memories of his childhood in the small town of Nephi, Utah. Recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio A with longtime collaborators Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado, the album surrounds Flowers' distinctive voice and melodic songwriting with a warmer, roots-oriented sound shaped by acoustic guitar, pedal steel, harmonica, piano, and understated rock arrangements. The sessions feature an impressive group of Nashville musicians, including guitarist David Rawlings, pedal steel player Bruce Bouton, and harmonica veteran Charlie McCoy, while songs including "Does It Ever Cross Your Mind?," "Tiger's Blood," "Plans," and "Paradise" introduce some of Flowers' most personal material to date. THRASHER arrives as an Indie Exclusive LP pressed on Ground Red colored vinyl.

Grant Green - Street Of Dreams (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, 180g)

Grant Green - Street Of Dreams, a Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series on 180g Black Vinyl, Packshot at Toucan Records

Grant Green's 1964 album Street Of Dreams brings together an exceptional quartet with organist Larry Young, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, and drummer Elvin Jones, creating a spacious, late-night sound that gives Green's soulful guitar plenty of room to breathe. The four-song set moves from the graceful melody of "I Wish You Love" and the relaxed mood of "Lazy Afternoon" to the title track and the atmospheric "Somewhere In The Night," with Green's clean, blues-inflected lines weaving naturally between Young's organ, Hutcherson's shimmering vibes, and Jones' subtle rhythmic drive. The restrained arrangements and unusually sympathetic interplay give the album a warm, dreamlike character while preserving the groove at the center of Green's playing. Part of the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, this stereo edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray directly from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g black vinyl at Optimal.
