Mood music vinyl pre-orders cover records made to set a scene rather than demand full attention: crooners, easy listening, lounge, ambient and multi-artist themed compilations. The upcoming records here lean on the great American voices, with Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Perry Como, whose recordings keep coming back on new pressings. Many are reissues or compilations, some seasonal: crooner Christmas albums, like Elvis Presley’s, are reissued again and again.
With this kind of repertoire, the edition matters. A compilation gathers tracks from several albums or artists, handy for a dinner or a party; a reissued original album keeps the artwork, running order and arrangements conceived as a whole. Both have their place, but it's worth knowing which one you're reserving, especially when the covers look alike.
A pre-order secures an edition before it sells out, especially color pressings and compilation box sets, which are often limited runs. For seasonal records, it also makes sure the vinyl arrives in time, before the holidays for instance. Because pressing takes months, labels announce these releases well ahead. On the ambient side, reissues of foundational albums, starting with Brian Eno's "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" (1978), regularly go through a pre-order phase as well, and ambient vinyl records often come in small runs.
A vinyl release date can slip, sometimes by weeks. Payment and cancellation terms vary from store to store, and the same compilation may exist in several versions. Before confirming, take a moment to reread the record's listing and the store's terms. If a listing is vague about the tracks or the source, compare it with other offers for the same barcode.
On this page you can compare offers from several partner stores for each upcoming record, then click through to the one you choose; that store handles the order, payment and shipping. Prices for the same pre-order can differ, and so can the version on offer. For a standard crooner compilation there's no rush, since these usually stay in stock after release. For a limited run or a seasonal record, reserve early so it arrives on time.
