Xavier Rudd - Spirit Bird (Recycled Vinyl 2LP)

This is the 2023 Lucky Dip Recycled Vinyl edition of Spirit Bird, Xavier Rudd's seventh studio album, originally released June 2012 on Salt X / Universal Music. Pressed on 2LP from recycled vinyl production waste, which means each copy carries a unique random colour, no two copies are the same. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.

Spirit Bird debuted at number two on the ARIA Albums Chart in 2012, making it Rudd's highest-charting Australian release. The album pulls across folk, roots, and world music with Xavier Rudd playing most instruments himself, and the songs have a direct environmental and spiritual thread running through them. If you've been buying John Butler Trio or Angus & Julia Stone from PRB, Rudd belongs in that same conversation. If you're new to him, this is the natural starting point.

The recycled vinyl format is worth noting. Rudd's music has always carried an environmental ethic, and pressing Spirit Bird on recycled production waste; ground-down vinyl off-cuts and remnants, re-pressed with random colour results, is consistent with that approach. The 'lucky dip' colour means the physical copy you receive is genuinely one-of-a-kind. This is not a marketing claim; it's how the pressing process works.
