Also included are album box sets from **Soul Asylum** and **Toad The Wet Sprocket.**
  
  
If you “need a little Christmas” well, it’s not right this very minute but record stores can help with that come 11/23 when Rolling Stones guitar gawd **Keith Richards** will celebrate the 40th anniversary of his first ever solo release (which was a holiday song!) with a 12” red vinyl special of *“Run Rudolph Run.”* The track was originally released as a 7” in 1978 as a B-side with *“The Harder They Come”* and in 2007 as the B-side of “*Pressure Drop*”. Both those tracks appear on the B-side of this anniversary release. More holiday music comes on RSD Black Friday from the likes of **Lindsey Stirling**, **Eric Clapton**, **Green River**, the artists of the**Prestige** label, **Unwritten Law** and more (including **Emmet Otter**’s one-time nemesis, the Riverbottom Nightmare Band!)
