Frank Black will release Teenager Of The Year - Live on November 27, 2026 via Demon Records, as an exclusive for Record Store Day Black Friday 2026. It captures his 1994 solo album performed live in full for the first time in 30 years.

Recorded on the 2025 30th anniversary tour, which played the USA and Europe and ended with a show at the London Palladium, the set plays the album in full and in sequence, bookended by five cuts from his self-titled 1993 debut, including "Headache," "Calistan," "Speedy Marie," "Los Angeles" and "I Heard Ramona Sing." The album has often been called "the best album the Pixies never made."

"In 2025 I toured with my 1994 band, the same group who were the principal players on a record called TEENAGER OF THE YEAR. This record documents that tour, which was a kind of 30 year birthday for the original double LP... Teenager Of The Year was the only award I've ever received (back in high school), and you can smell that teen spirit resurrection on TOTY, and I hope 30 years later some of that funk remains," says Black.

It will be available at participating stores as a 3LP set on gold, green and red vinyl, plus a 2CD edition. The record is 22 tracks from the original album plus the five debut-album cuts.
