The Goo Goo Dolls will release their covers album Borrowed as a coloured-vinyl LP on 27 November 2026. The Record Store Day Black Friday edition is issued by Warner Records and brings together the band’s versions of songs associated with Prince, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac and INXS.
Borrowed gives The Goo Goo Dolls a Record Store Day release
The Record Store Day listing gives Borrowed a release date of 27 November 2026 and identifies the format as an LP. It also names Warner Records as the label and classifies the release as rock.
The collection marks the first physical release of these cover versions, according to the listing. Its single-LP presentation uses Pawn Shop Patina coloured vinyl and newly created artwork, giving the 27 November edition a clearly defined physical format.
A separate set of release details places the CD and digital editions on 4 December 2026. The staggered schedule places the Record Store Day vinyl first, followed by wider listening formats one week later.
The Goo Goo Dolls bring rock roots to Borrowed
The Goo Goo Dolls come from Buffalo, New York, and their core is singer-guitarist John Rzeznik and singer-bassist Robby Takac. A biographical profile describes the band’s development from punk beginnings towards alternative rock and melodic songwriting.
That musical history gives Borrowed a direct link to the act’s established identity: the new collection places the band’s own interpretations at the centre rather than presenting new original songs. The choice of Prince, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac and INXS also connects the release with a broad rock and pop tradition.
The official music page currently highlights the band’s recorded work, including anniversary editions and a live release. Borrowed extends that recorded catalogue with a collection built around songs first associated with other artists.
Borrowed joins the band’s covers and rock catalogue
The release is framed as a Record Store Day exclusive for its first physical appearance. The vinyl edition therefore combines a special retail format with a collection designed around familiar compositions, while the CD and digital versions broaden the album’s release on 4 December 2026.
For listeners in Germany and elsewhere in Western Europe, the key distinction is between the two dates. The coloured-vinyl LP arrives on 27 November 2026, while the CD and digital editions follow on 4 December 2026.
