Ween will release Shinola, Vol. 2, a 21-track collection of outtakes, rarities and B-sides, on Nov. 27 through Rhino Records for Record Store Day Black Friday. The band previewed “Kim Smoltz”; a brown-vinyl double LP will be limited to 9,200 copies, while a CD edition is also planned.
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 announced the album alongside a preview of “Kim Smoltz,” one of several longtime fan favorites included in the collection, which will arrive more than two decades after the first Shinola album.
The collection gathers unreleased outtakes, rare B-sides and fan favorites from across Ween’s career. According to the announcement, Dean Ween began work on the selection more than a decade ago. The album is due in two formats: a brown-vinyl double LP limited to 9,200 copies, available at select record stores, and a CD edition that the band says will be sold through retail outlets.
Among the tracks are “Kim Smoltz,” “She Caught My Fancy,” “Weed Whore” and “The Belvodine,” which the report identifies as receiving their first official release on the collection. The 21-song tracklist also includes “Young Chou Lin,” “Britney,” “Essex Plaza,” “Kite Flying Man,” “The Argus, Pt. 2” and “Shalom Absalom.”
The complete tracklist is: “Kim Smoltz”; “Young Chou Lin”; “Britney”; “She Caught My Fancy”; “Essex Plaza”; “Kite Flying Man”; “Makin’ Love In The Gravy”; “Planet Fantasy (Horsefly)”; “Ooh Vah Lah (Sludge Version)”; “Hello Johnny”; “I Wuz Nothing”; “Opus Fugue Trilogy”; “The Argus, Pt. 2”; “For So Long”; “Skycruiser”; “Put Your Boobs On”; “The Chancy Boys”; “Shalom Absalom”; “You Can Go Shit In Your Hat (Matt)”; “Weed Whore”; and “The Belvodine.”
A Second Archive of Ween Rarities
The release gives listeners an official collection of material that has circulated among fans or remained unreleased, including several songs named in the announcement as first-time official releases. It also extends the Shinola series, whose first volume offered a curated selection of recordings made between 1990 and 2003. The new album’s 21 tracks provide a further view of the band’s catalog beyond its familiar studio-album sequence.
The physical release is also tied to a specific retail event. The 9,200-copy vinyl pressing is designated for select record stores participating in Record Store Day Black Friday, while the CD is described as a retail release. The announced formats and limited vinyl run make availability different by format and store; details on participating locations are not supplied in the announcement.

From Shinola’s First Volume to 2026
Shinola, Vol. 1 was released in 2005 and contained 12 tracks recorded between 1990 and 2003. The sequel arrives after Dean Ween began assembling it more than a decade ago, according to the source report. The announcement places the two collections in a long-running effort to gather material outside the band’s main album releases.
Shinola, Vol. 2 follows another archival Ween release announced for this year: Boognish Provides, a box set of live recordings from the tour supporting 1994’s Chocolate and Cheese. That set is scheduled for Oct. 16 in a 14-CD edition and a two-LP highlights edition. Ween stepped away from touring in 2024 while marking the 30th anniversary of Chocolate and Cheese; the report says the band cited Michael “Dean Ween” Melchiondo’s mental health.
“The band described a CD version as available at retail outlets.”
