Record Store Day Black Friday 2024
Whether you’re looking for special RSD releases or you just want to support your local record store, drag yourself out of bed bright and early this Black Friday as vinyl-hungry shoppers trickle into shops around town.

Highlights from this year’s special releases include a 25th-anniversary edition of MF Doom’s Operation: Doomsday, unheard demos from Joni Mitchell’s Hejira, and Guts Spilled, an extended version of Olivia Rodrigo’s acclaimed sophomore album.
