Red Hot Chili Peppers Unlimited Love Target Exclusive 2XLP Vinyl Apple Red

The elder statesmen of ’90s Alternative rock are back with John Frusciante in the fold. Unlimited Love marks the first Red Hot Chili Peppers album with their classic lineup since 2006. The result is a sprawling album gesturing toward a new era of RHCP music. Never a group to be afraid of overexposure or oversaturation, they pressed their latest on Apple Red, Blue, Black, Clear, Light Blue, Emerald Green, and Orange vinyl. Now that’s a lot of “Soul to Squeeze.”

Curren$y and Harry Fraud Regatta Vinyl Black

Curren$y and producer Harry Fraud released Regatta last October. Thankfully, for fans of Spitta, Fraud, and their decade-long partnership, this project was finally released on vinyl. After nearly 20 years in the game, the New Orleans legend Curren$y has become the blueprint for underground rap. For those of you just getting hip to the Jet Life general, or those already certified Lifers, Regatta hits every lush, lazy note.

Mac Miller Macadelic 10th Anniversary Deluxe 2XLP Vinyl Black/White/Red

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Macadelic‘s release, Mac Miller‘s seventh mixtape receives a deluxe vinyl release. Miller originally released Macadelic four months after his debut studio album, Blue Slide Park. The mixtape finds the rapper further experimenting with his sound following the decidedly mixed reception of his debut. Each record of this gorgeous double LP is pressed in black, white, and red, with an embossed take on the original cover art.  

Funko Gold Guns N’ Roses Slash 5 Inch Chase Exclusive Figure

One of music’s most recognizable guitar gods returns with a line of Funko figures. Can anyone imagine a world without Slash shredding away, one glorious lick after another? In fact, his axe slinging on “Sweet Child ‘O Mine” was recently voted the best guitar riff of all time. Make sure you don’t make the same mistake as Axl Rose and keep Slash – with or without a skull face – in your life. No one needs another Chinese Democracy.

For the second week in a row, a major piece of musical equipment takes the crown as the most expensive music product sold on StockX. This limited-edition version of our DDJ-1000 4-channel performance DJ controller is a high-performance piece of DJ equipment that stunningly connects Virgil Abloh‘s passion for music and design in one item. Although it did not sell for as much as the Supreme Fender Stratocaster featured last week, the $4,200 price tag is still a considerable number.
