From frequent rumors of posthumous records to much buzzed-about television movies, Aaliyah‘s legacy continues to endure to this day.

As longtime fans no doubt already know, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Aaliyah’s critically acclaimed debut Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number, featuring Top 10 hits “Back & Forth” and “At Your Best (You Are Love).” And to celebrate the occasion, Legacy Recordings — the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment — is releasing a special 2LP edition of the album on Record Store Day’s Black Friday event (November 28).

The record will be packaged as a 12″ double LP 180 gram white vinyl pressing, and will also include her UK bonus track, “The Thing I Like.” Check out the full description of the Aaliyah release after the jump.

Aaliyah – Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number 2LP – White Vinyl 180 Gram

Twenty years ago, Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number introduced the world to the stunning talent of Aaliyah. Her sensuous, soulful vocals, combined with the writing and production skills of R. Kelly, established her as one of R&B’s brightest stars. This collectible 2LP edition of her debut is pressed on white 180-gram vinyl and features the Top 10 hits “Back & Forth” and “At Your Best (You Are Love)” plus the rare international bonus track “The Thing I Like.”

In addition to Aaliyah’s album, Legacy will also be releasing 10″ pressings of David Bowie‘s “Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)” and Outkast‘s “Player’s Ball” — even a 30th anniversary edition of Wham!‘s iconic “Last Christmas.”
