Twenty years after Out of Exile debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, Interscope is celebrating the anniversary with something a little more interesting than a standard repress: a limited-edition 2LP filled with black liquid. Whether this turns into a lucrative flip depends on how much of Audioslave’s dedicated fanbase shows up on drop day, but the format has a strong track record. Resellers paying attention to liquid vinyl have been eating good for a few years now.

Out of Exile Limited Edition Liquid Vinyl

Interscope is pressing Out of Exile as a two-record set with black liquid injected into the PVC. The 2LP is available for preorder right now at $125 and is expected to ship in June.

Released in May 2005, Out of Exile is the band’s biggest commercial record. It hit number one on the Billboard 200, spawned three singles including “Be Yourself” and “Doesn’t Remind Me,” and became the defining document of what Audioslave could do outside the shadows of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine.

For a lot of Audioslave fans, this is the record, and it’s historically been hard to find on wax. Prior vinyl pressings have been scarce, which gives this anniversary release genuine appeal for collectors beyond the novelty format. It’s worth noting that Interscope is also dropping a standard 180g pressing alongside this one, so buyers who want the album on vinyl without the $125 price tag have an alternative.

The catch is that Interscope hasn’t disclosed how many units are being produced. That’s the biggest variable here. Low production equals a likely sellout and a healthy secondary market. High production or lackluster demand equals a brick.

Why Liquid-Filled Vinyl Resells

If you haven’t been paying attention to liquid-filled vinyl, now’s the time to start. The format has produced some of the most profitable vinyl flips in recent memory.

Last April, Miller High Life’s “Dive Bar Sounds” liquid vinyl sold for just $18 across three limited batches capped at 200 total units. Those records ended up reselling for $250 to $350 on eBay, which works out to roughly 15 times retail. In late 2025, Sabrina Carpenter’s pink champagne liquid vinyl for “Man’s Best Friend” sold out in under 20 minutes and quickly hit $250 to $300 on secondary, good for four to five times retail.

The format works. The question with this Audioslave pressing is whether the fanbase shows up in force. This is a do-your-own-research situation more than a clear buy signal. Here’s what we know and don’t know.

On the positive side, Out of Exile is a landmark rock album with genuine collector demand, and the fact that it’s rarely appeared on vinyl adds real weight to this release. The liquid format is legitimately rare, and the anniversary timing gives the pressing a reason to exist. Audioslave’s audience skews older, which often means more disposable income and a higher ceiling for secondary market prices.

On the other hand, $125 is a steep retail price for a preorder without any quantity disclosure, and the concurrent standard 180g pressing means collectors who just want the album on vinyl have a cheaper option. If demand splits between the two formats, that could soften secondary market prices for the liquid version. If Interscope pressed tens of thousands of the liquid edition, they may not sell out at all, which kills any resale premium. And because this is a preorder shipping in June, you’re also sitting on capital for a couple of months before you can even list the records.

One genuinely encouraging note: Interscope’s return policy does not appear to carve out exceptions for limited-edition releases. These are not marked as final sale, which means if demand doesn’t materialize and you’re left holding records you can’t flip, you may have options. Review the policy before purchasing and confirm this applies to your order.

At $125 a pop, this isn’t an all-in opportunity. But for Audioslave fans who would want the record anyway, the liquid format and anniversary angle make it a reasonable shot.
