Ween will release Shinola, Vol. 2, a 21-track collection of rarities and outtakes, on Nov. 27 through Rhino Records as part of Record Store Day Black Friday. The band has previewed “Kim Smoltz”; the release is planned as a limited brown-vinyl double album for select record stores and a CD available at retail.
The collection brings together unreleased outtakes, rare B-sides and fan favorites spanning Ween’s career. According to the announcement, Dean Ween began working on the selection more than a decade ago. The album is set to contain 21 tracks, including “She Caught My Fancy,” “Weed Whore” and “The Belvodine,” which are described as receiving their first official releases on the collection.
Record Store Day’s site lists the 2xLP brown-vinyl edition as limited to 9,200 pressings and available exclusively through select record stores. The band’s announcement says a CD edition will be available at retail. The supplied announcement does not specify whether the CD will be limited or give additional details about participating stores or distribution.
The announced tracklist begins with “Kim Smoltz,” followed by “Young Chou Lin,” “Britney,” “She Caught My Fancy,” “Essex Plaza” and “Kite Flying Man.” Other selections include “Ooh Vah Lah (Sludge Version),” “The Argus, Pt. 2,” “Shalom Absalom” and “You Can Go Shit In Your Hat (Matt).” The collection closes with “Weed Whore” and “The Belvodine.”
A Second Archive Collection
Shinola, Vol. 2 gives listeners an official release for material that has circulated among fans or remained unreleased, extending the archive approach of the original Shinola, Vol. 1. The new set is substantial at 21 tracks and covers multiple periods of the band’s career, rather than focusing on a single album or tour.
The physical formats also make the Record Store Day timing relevant for fans: the vinyl run is capped at 9,200 pressings and restricted to select stores, while the CD is described as a retail release. The announcement does not establish how widely the CD will be stocked, so the vinyl edition is the format with a stated pressing limit and specific store-channel restriction.

From Shinola to New Rarities
The first Shinola collection was released in 2005 with 12 tracks recorded between 1990 and 2003. More than two decades later, the second volume draws on material from across Ween’s career, with Dean Ween said to have started assembling it more than a decade ago.
The announcement follows news of Boognish Provides, a box set of live recordings from the tour supporting the band’s 1994 album Chocolate and Cheese. That release is scheduled for Oct. 16 in a 14-CD edition and a 2xLP edition of highlights. Ween stepped away from touring in 2024 while marking the album’s 30th anniversary, citing Michael “Dean Ween” Melchiondo’s mental health, according to the report.
“The 2xLP brown-vinyl edition is limited to 9,200 pressings and will be available exclusively at select record stores.”
