It’s not even Halloween yet but we already have our first Black Friday deals, thanks to Record Store Day.
Each year, record stores all over the country celebrate Record Story Day, a biannual celebration of physical music printed on wax. The event features exclusive and early-access printings of music both new and old that can only be acquired firsthand at a participating record store.
Now, organizers have shared the list of albums set to be featured in their Black Friday 2024 sale. 159 titles will be available and each album is very limited, with some receiving less than 1,000 copies. A number of records will be exclusive to Record Store Day while others will be printed again sometime in the future.
This year tends to favor rock music like one would expect, but fans of electronic music will have a few exclusives to hunt down. In a surefire highlight, Boys Noize’s remarkable reimagined version of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ soundtrack to the Zendaya-led Challengers film has received an exclusive vinyl pressing.
Labrinth, Sia and Diplo’s group, LSD, will have a remix album available as well, with just 2,000 copies for sale. ILLENIUM’s 2017 sophomore album, Awake, has also received an exclusive Record Store Day release with just 3,000 copies available across the US.
Outside the confines of dance music, fans can purchase vinyl from The Beatles, Billie Eilish, MF DOOM, Modest Mouse, Djo, Olivia Rodrigo, The Rolling Stones, Snoop Dogg, U2, Pearl Jam, OneRepublic, Stevie Nicks, Jimi Hendrix and many more.
Record Store Day’s annual Black Friday event will take place on Friday, November 28th, 2024. You can view the full list of albums for sale and the participating locations here.
