Ween will release Shinola, Vol. 2, a 21-track collection of outtakes, rare B-sides and fan favorites, on Nov. 27 through Rhino Records for Record Store Day Black Friday.

Ween will release Shinola, Vol. 2, a 21-track collection of rarities and outtakes, on Nov. 27 as part of Record Store Day Black Friday, the band announced. The Rhino Records release will include a limited brown-vinyl edition for select record stores and a CD version for retail, and the announcement came with a preview of “Kim Smoltz.”
The collection brings together unreleased outtakes, rare B-sides and fan favorites spanning Ween’s career. According to the announcement, some tracks—including “Kim Smoltz,” “She Caught My Fancy,” “Weed Whore” and “The Belvodine”—are receiving their first official release on the album. The band has not described the full recording dates for the 21 selections in the supplied announcement.
Two formats are planned. Record Store Day’s site lists a 2xLP brown-vinyl edition limited to 9,200 copies, available exclusively at select record stores. The band says a CD edition will be available at retail outlets. The release is scheduled for Nov. 27, the event’s Black Friday date.
The announced tracklist runs from “Kim Smoltz” to “The Belvodine” and also includes “Young Chou Lin,” “Britney,” “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” and “You Can Go Shit In Your Hat (Matt).”
A Second Collection of Ween Rarities
The album extends a series that began with Shinola, Vol. 1, released in 2005. That first volume gathered 12 recordings made between 1990 and 2003; the new collection is described as spanning the band’s career and includes material that has circulated among fans without an official release. For listeners, the announcement sets a release date and format for songs that have been difficult to find in an authorized album collection.
The limited vinyl run also ties availability to participating independent record stores, while the CD is described as a retail release. Those formats give collectors and other fans different ways to obtain the set, although the announcement does not specify which stores will carry the records or provide pricing.

From Shinola’s First Volume to Now
Ween released the first Shinola collection in 2005, more than two decades before this sequel announcement. The band’s new 21-track set was started by Dean Ween more than a decade ago, according to the report, before being prepared for release as the second volume.
The announcement follows news of Boognish Provides, a collection of live recordings from the tour supporting Ween’s 1994 album Chocolate and Cheese. That set is scheduled for Oct. 16 in a 14-CD edition and a 2-LP highlights edition. Separately, Ween stepped away from touring in 2024 while marking the 30th anniversary of Chocolate and Cheese; the band cited Michael “Dean Ween” Melchiondo’s mental health.
“A CD version will be available at retail outlets.”
