Rhino High Fidelity Announces "Full House" and "Anodyne" As Next Two AAA Releases

limited to 5000 individually numbered copies

(April 2, 2026 - Los Angeles, CA) Rhino High Fidelity (Rhino Hi-Fi) returns today with two limited-edition audiophile vinyl reissues—one of a band breaking through and the other of a band about to break apart—The J. Geils Band’s “Live” Full House and Uncle Tupelo’s Anodyne.

Both albums were cut from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at Optimal in Germany. Each features glossy gatefold packaging with tip-on jackets and newly written liner notes. They are limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively at Rhino.com and select Warner Music Group stores internationally.

Order The J. Geils Band’s “Live” Full House HERE and Uncle Tupelo’s Anodyne HERE.

Recorded over two nights in April 1972 at Detroit’s Cinderella Ballroom, “Live” Full House captures The J. Geils Band playing full tilt in its second home. The set ignites from the first note, with the sextet tearing through the whiplash stops and starts of “Whammer Jammer,” “Pack Fair And Square,” and “Hard Drivin’ Man.” Released later that year, “Live” Full House became the band’s first Top 40 album.

In new liner notes, the band’s singer, Peter Wolf, calls “Live” Full House one of his favorites. “This recording encapsulates the energy and spontaneity we always tried to give our audiences,” he writes. “What you hear is the true, raw, unfiltered sound of The J. Geils Band, performing what we did every night.”

Released in October 1993, Anodyne was the fourth and final album by alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo. Cut live in the studio in Austin, Texas, the record moves from the driving energy of “Chickamauga” and “The Long Cut” into “Anodyne” and “Acuff-Rose,” where fiddle and pedal steel add a flash of Cosmic American color. The album ended UT’s short-but-remarkable run, with the breakup soon giving rise to two new bands: Wilco and Son Volt.

In the new liner notes, music journalist Mark Deming reflects on the album’s lasting weight. “Over those two weeks in Austin, Texas, recording Anodyne, Uncle Tupelo created both a grand finale and a new beginning, and the music and the emotions ring just as clear more than three decades on.”

Rhino High Fidelity continues to tap into Warner Music’s vast catalog, introducing reissues of seminal albums across genres—from rock and pop to jazz, soul, and beyond. Each title pairs uncompromising audio with archival-grade packaging, honoring the album’s original intent in both sound and design.

    Having seen Uncle Tupelo in 1990 when they first started off and being a Wilco nut, this will be another fine recording from Rhino. Given what they learned in recording with Peter Buck and the live sound of 'March 16–20, 1992', this should be great. $40 definitely.

    The Debbie-downer comments from Azmoon really need some curation.

    For those unfamiliar, Full House is definitely worth checking out. You can always try before you buy.
