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 February below.

Bon Jovi — Slippery When Wet (Reissue)

Do you know “You Give Love A Bad Name,” “Livin’ On A Prayer,” or “Wanted Dead Or Alive”? You do, yes. What’s wild is all of those songs are on the same Bon Jovi album, 1986’s Slippery When Wet, which has now gotten a reissue in various configurations, including a liquid-filled vinyl that’s limited to 1,300 copies. Because, you know, when an album is called Slippery When Wet, of course you fill it with liquid.

Hallucinating Love is electronic duo Maribou State’s first album in seven years.

But, he made it through and the end result is a long-anticipated and well-received new LP.
