Karnivool Releasing Discography On Vinyl
My love for vinyl is becoming somewhat of an obsession. There’s something about holding a record and appreciating the artwork that truly appeals to me. It’s like some people I know who are proud collectors of VHS or cassette tapes. We all have our little hobbies and this just so happens to be mine.
Another passion of mine is music, which is probably a pretty obvious statement but I have to make it clear that I really love music. Give me a suggestion and I’ll try it out, simply because I crave hearing new things.
A band that I was recommended a few years ago and have since become a huge fan of is Australia’s alt/prog rock band Karnivool. I started with Sound Awake, moved back into Themata, and then got drawn into the stunning Asymmetry.
So when the band announced that they’d be finally releasing their albums on vinyl, I kinda screamed in joy. These were albums that I’ve been wanting to own on wax for a while. And on December 26th, I get to pre-order them all so that I can receive them in April.
The albums will be re-mastered on 180g 2xLP with gatefold sleeves and lyrics printed on the inside. Pictures of the records can be seen below.

‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ Celebrates 60 Years with Limited Zoetrope Vinyl Release
A Halloween classic turns 60 this October, and Craft Recordings is celebrating with a special limited edition vinyl release for Peanuts special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”.
Arriving August 7 and available to pre-order today, this anniversary reissue comes pressed on an eye-catching 45 RPM zoetrope LP, featuring memorable scenes from the special on each side, plus a new essay from Sean Mendelson.
Get a peek at the cool new release below.
The release features Vince Guaraldi‘s jazzy score, including favorites like “The Great Pumpkin Waltz,” “Graveyard Theme,” and, of course, the iconic “Linus and Lucy.”
After its first official release in 2018 and rerelease upon the discovery of the original master tapes in 2022, the soundtrack returns to vinyl in its entirety, alongside a selection of rare outtakes.
If the zoetrope LP isn’t enticing enough, look for a variety of limited-edition Halloween treats that can be found at exclusive retail partners, including an Orange 4-inch Tiny Vinyl (Target) available starting July 17, featuring “The Great Pumpkin Waltz” on Side A and “Graveyard Theme” on Side B. Pumpkin-shaped pressings will also be available in exclusive colorways from August 21st, including Electric Pumpkin Patch (Barnes & Noble), Pumpkin Spice (Walmart), Ghost White (Target), and Candy Corn (Craft Recordings). Additionally, the Orange Pumpkin pressing will be back by popular demand at all major retailers.
