Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn’t made a comeback. That doesn’t mean everybody is listening to just their parents’ old music, though. That’s part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty.

Whatever you might be into, each month brings a new slew of vinyl releases that has something for everybody. Some stand out above the rest, naturally, so check out some of our favorite vinyl releases of March below.

Wings — Venus And Mars (50th Anniversary Edition)

MPL/UMe

Paul McCartney made the most of life after The Beatles with Wings, and the band was really hitting its stride by the time they released 1975’s Venus And Mars. The album turns 50 years old this year, so there’s a new vinyl edition that was cut at half speed using a high-resolution transfer of the original master tapes, meaning it sounds terrific.

Black Sabbath — Paranoid (Reissue)

Rhino

Black Sabbath is coming to an end, but we’ll always have the music. Paranoid is one of the band’s defining releases, of course, and now it sounds better than ever on a new Rhino High Fidelity reissue.

Alice Cooper — Love It To Death (Reissue)

Rhino

Alice Cooper also just got the Rhino Hi-Fi treatment with a rerelease of Love It To Death. The album, the band’s third, was a critical one for them, as it was their big breakout after a pair of albums that underwhelmed commercially.

Ariana Grande — Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead

Republic Records

Even with Ariana Grande being primarily in Wicked mode at the moment, she’s still been delivering new music at a solid clip. The deluxe edition of Eternal Sunshine dropped last week, as did a short film and, of course, new vinyl.

Eli Roth’s Red Light Disco: Dancefloor Seductions From Italian Sexploitation Cinema

CAM Sugar/UMe

Director Eli Roth has a passion for Italian “sexploitation” movies from the ’70s and ’80s, and that applies to the films’ songs that often aren’t available outside of the movies themselves. Well, Roth went ahead, rounded up a bunch of his favorites, and honored the era with a carefully considered new compilation.

Fleetwood Mac — 1975-1987

Fleetwood Mac had a legendary run in the ’70s and ’80s, highlighted by Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk, Mirage, and Tango In The Night. Those iconic projects have now all been collected in a box set, that also comes with a clear 12-inch of “Silver Springs” and “Go Your Own Way,” and that’s limited to just 1,000 copies. If you’re missing any of these classics in your collection, this is an ideal way to finish off that period from one of music’s greatest bands.

Kraftwerk — Autobahn (50th Anniversary Reissue)

Rhino

Never before has Kraftwerk officially released a picture disc vinyl. Now, though, in celebration of a half-century of Autobahn, it’s gotten a lovely blue picture disc reissue, and the minimal original artwork is a great fit for this format.

Get it here.

David Bowie — Young Americans (Reissue)

Rhino

It’s also been 50 years since one of Bowie’s biggest classics, Young Americans. You can choose your flavor with this reissue, as there’s a picture disc version, as well as a half-speed mastered LP edition.

Get it here.

The Temptations — Psychedelic Shack

Motown

Motown has been on a tear with reissues over the past year or so, busting out a few exemplary releases from the archives monthly. As the title suggests, it’s more psychedelic than most Motown releases, making it a fascinating outlier in the label’s history.

Sun Ra — Space Is The Place (Vinyl Me, Please Reissue)

Vinyl Me, Please

In case you missed it, Vinyl Me, Please recently moved away from their Records Of The Month format. That’s not necessarily bad news, though, as they continue to frequently release snazzy new reissues, one of the latest of which being this Sun Ra favorite.
