Milkmen Release 40th Anniversary Edition of Big Lizard in My Backyard

This has been in the works and under wraps since last year and we're now able to tell you all about the 40th Anniversary release of the Dead Milkmen's 1st LP "Big Lizard in My Backyard" that will be available on Black Friday Record Store Day, November 28th 2025.

This new 2-record edition has the newly remastered original album (pressed on green vinyl), plus a second disc of never-before-heard, straight off the original 8-track tape, alternate takes of 10 classics (pressed on yellow vinyl). Packaged in a brand-new, custom windowed die-cut gatefold cover with pull-out lenticular illustration, and features updated artwork by Dean Clean, with a layout of promo material, take-sheets, notes, photos, and posters, and a digital download QR code. Support your local record shop and get them to order a copy for you! Only 3500 will be available!

Find your local participating record shop on the Black Friday RSD website and ask your store to get a copy for you. You need to be at the shop the day of to get it! Get there early - first-come-first-served.

The Giving Groove

We're working with The Giving Groove label and they operates under a unique revenue model in which it pays artists 50 percent of all after-tax profit and donates the label’s remaining 50 percent to a music-related charity they select alongside each artist. The Milkmen have chosen to direct that revenue to Rock to the Future, a 501(c)3 organization that equips Philadelphia youth with life skills to support current and lifelong well-being through free, student-driven music programs.
