Haven’t you heard? Black Friday isn’t just for seekers of oversized electronics and department store apparel anymore. No, this year it’s for your regular, blue collar, average Joe vinyl lovers too. Once again Record Store Day has slipped its way into November, throwing the name “Record Store Day” itself into question, and giving your local record store the exciting opportunity to be host to fights, tramplings, and shootings over unnecessary products, just like the bigwigs of the shopping world.
This year’s crop of releases includes new offerings from St. Vincent, The Flaming Lips, CHVRCHES, and Jenny Lewis, as well as reissues of The Beatles, Aaliyah, Game Theory, and Hüsker Dü, and a whole host of other things that are sure to fit in your record collection between other records like records tend to do. On top of that there’s a 7-inch picture disc of a song from the movie Frozen, so yeah, there’s going to be some bloodshed this holiday season. Check out the full list of releases here.
