Ray Charles live album released on 25 September 2026

Ray Charles’ live album Ray Charles Live In Concert: The Complete Performance was released on 25 September 2026, bringing a restored concert recording to vinyl and digital platforms. The edition is issued by Tangerine Records and was produced under supervision of The Ray Charles Foundation.

Ray Charles Live In Concert expands the set

The release is titled Ray Charles Live In Concert: The Complete Performance. It restores the complete concert programme rather than the shorter form associated with an earlier album. The 25 September 2026 edition is the first vinyl presentation of the full performance. It also brings previously absent performances into the sequence.

BroadwayWorld’s release account identifies Tangerine Records as the label and names The Ray Charles Foundation as the supervising body. Michael Graves remastered the audio, while Jeff Powell handled the vinyl mastering. It is pressed on two 180-gram LPs with gatefold packaging, expanded artwork and liner notes.

Ray Charles brings soul, blues and jazz to the release

The official homepage describes Ray Charles as a pioneer of soul music. It places blues, gospel, R&B, rock, country music and jazz within his musical vocabulary. That breadth is present in the restored concert, which places his singing and piano alongside a full orchestra.

The combination links the physical edition to the performance itself, rather than presenting it as a studio-only catalogue item. The expanded sequence preserves the shape of a complete concert while adding material absent from the earlier album. Its format is clear: the edition spans two physical LPs and digital platforms.
