Label: Charly
Release date: November 27, 2026 (Black Friday – RSD)
More than two decades after the concert took place, Edgar Winter’s ‘Royal Albert Hall 2004’ is set for a new release on November 27, 2026. Issued by Charly for Record Store Day Black Friday, the live recording will be available on metallic silver vinyl.
Recorded at London’s Royal Albert Hall in May 2004, the performance captures Winter in a career-spanning live setting. Among the songs featured are Free Ride, Frankenstein and Tobacco Road, bringing together several of the best-known titles associated with his long career. The concert has previously been available on DVD, but this marks its first appearance on vinyl.
Winter’s multi-instrumental approach is central to the performance, with keyboards and saxophone alongside his vocals. The new pressing brings the 2004 concert back into focus more than twenty years after it was recorded.
