Color your world with a sky blue vinyl version of the 1983 classic, Speaking in Tongues, limited to just 4,500 copies. But that's not all: there's also a bright opaque red vinyl edition of the 1982 double live album, The Name of This Band is Talking Heads, also limited to just 4,500 copies. Some of us know where this year's holiday cash is going, that's for sure.

There's more: the Cars' 1981 studio album, Shake It Up, is screeching into focus by way of a neon green vinyl release, capped at only 3,500 copies. Another release for the January 8 winner's circle: a flaming yellow version of k.d. lang's 2000 LP, Invincible Summer. That one is getting cut off after 3,500 copies as well.

That's just to get the party started.
