Vulnicura Live is a live album by Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk featuring 14 songs performed during her 2015 Vulnicura Tour. The release was available exclusively through Rough Trade record shops in very limited quantities and is published by One Little Indian. It has since sold out online but a limited number of CDs and LPs were made available at Rough Trade brick and motor stores on release day.

Background

On 21 October 2015, the official Rough Trade website posted an early listing of separate 2 x CD / 2 x LP sets entitled Vulnicura Live, a collection of 14 songs recorded on Björk's 2015 tour to promote her critically acclaimed album, Vulnicura. The live album was mixed and put together by Björk herself with help from Arca and The Haxan Cloak, her co-producers on Vulnicura. The sets were officially announced the following day, and were limited to 1000 copies for each format and available exclusively through Rough Trade. Initial reports incorrectly stated that the double album would feature 7 Vulnicura songs and 7 songs from Björk's previous albums.

The CD edition was released on 6 November 2015 and comes with 4 photo prints in a clear plastic sleeve, with the LP following on 20 November 2015. The vinyl set omits one song, "All Neon Like", and the records are presented as double-sided picture discs in place of the photo prints.[1][2] The vinyl sold out within 2 days followed by the CD edition 3 days later, but limited quantities of the album were made available at Rough Trade stores throughout London and in Brooklyn, NY on their respective release dates. However, the Rough Trade East store made their CD copies available in stores nearly a week early, and due to a much faster production turnaround, the vinyl release was moved up by 2 weeks from its initial December 4 release date.

The first 100 people that preordered the vinyl received a wristband that allowed them entry into a special DJ set with Björk and Arca at the Rough Trade East store in London that took place on Halloween night, 2015.[3] Although only a limited number of copies were produced the vinyl edition of the album managed to enter the UK Official Vinyl Albums Chart at #12.[4]

Listings for a Japanese CD version of Vulnicura Live were put up on several websites with a 20 January 2016 release date[5] but no official announcement was ever made and the release was postponed.
