MTV Unplugged arrives as a two-LP Black Friday release
The Record Store Day listing names MTV Unplugged as an RSD Exclusive Release with a 27 November 2026 release date. It gives the format as two LPs and identifies Island as the label.
Record Store Day calls it the first ever retail release of Mendes’ MTV Unplugged performance. The pressing uses Bubblegum Pink vinyl and contains 11 tracks, continuing the ten-year celebration of Illuminate.
Shawn Mendes’ catalogue meets an anniversary format
The FKP Scorpio profile identifies him as a Toronto-born singer-songwriter. His music is presented here through an acoustic performance format rather than a new studio recording.
His official website places the release alongside Illuminate (10th Anniversary Edition) Deluxe and several live recordings. That grouping adds a performance-led entry to a catalogue represented by deluxe and live material.
MTV Unplugged keeps the performance at its centre
The published sequence begins with There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back and Ruin, then moves through Stitches, Three Empty Words, Patience and Bad Reputation.
It closes with Never Be Alone and Use Somebody/Treat You Better, while also including Mercy and Roses.
