Record Store Day has announced its huge list of Black Friday vinyls – check out all the releases down below.
The event celebrating indie record stores will take place this November, and fans will be able to purchase unique releases from the likes of The Beatles, Billie Eilish, Whitney Houston, Joni Mitchell, U2, Van Halen, Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, and more.
It follows the main event which took place last April, where Paramore and Kate Bush were named as Record Store Day ambassadors. It also follows the news of the number of record stores hitting a 10-year high this year, along with UK vinyl sales reached their highest levels since 1990 in 2023.
Certain titles will only be available in participating RSD shops in store only on a first-come-first-serve basis – you can check out those releases here. Otherwise, you can purchase the remaining list of releases on participating stores and their websites from 8am November 30, where titles will vary per shop.
Amongst the special edition releases is Billie Eilish’s latest record ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft‘, which is set to feature her isolated vocals for each track to commemorate the event. Meanwhile, U2 will release a limited remastered edition of ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’ to celebrate its anniversary, including new, unreleased songs discovered in the archive of the original album recording sessions. The vinyl will be titled ‘How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb’.
