SAVE THE DATE - RECORD STORE DAY BLACK FRIDAY 2024 IS FRIDAY, NOV. 29TH

ABOUT RECORD STORE DAY BLACK FRIDAY, 11/29/24:
Launched in 2007 with the humble idea to recognize independent record stores, Record Store Day (RSD) has blossomed into a global phenomenon. The list of RSD exclusives continues to expand, as more labels continue to throw open their catalogs to an appreciative audience that grows each year. Beyond Record Store Day on the third Saturday of every April, RSD also releases exclusive titles on Black Friday.

Beyond the day-long frenzy, RSD exists to offer proof of the lively role record stores play in the community and a chance for folks on both sides of the counter to offer gratitude for each other. It's a capsule-sized snapshot of what this whole record world is about. Whether you're a hardcore type who times their arrival for a spot at the front of the line or somebody who waits until the afternoon for a more leisurely experience, we hope you'll join us.

THE PLAN:

1. We OPEN at 7AM for RSD Black Friday shopping. Our RSD commitment to you: the highest volume and selection of RSD titles we can get our hands on AND the shortest in-line wait times possible.

2. Line to form westbound on Monroe Street. We'll have loaded grab bags for the first 50 early bird customers FREE with every RSD purchase. We'll also have outdoor bathrooms for the overnight hardos, heat lamps for the side walks and early AM coffee for the diehards.

3. While in line you will be handed a menu of all RSD titles, starting around 6 AM

4. We will pull your requests & you will check out outside. Throughout the day, follow our Instagram and Facebook stories @StrictlyDiscs for updates on sold out titles.

5. The shop will open for normal browsing when the RSD line is gone

6. Once we're open, RSD titles will be located upstairs, along with primo fresh-used titles downstairs.

NOTE ALL PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO WAIT IN-LINE & OUR IN-STORE REGULARS! Out-of-state customers…we will make every effort to accommodate your wishlist orders but know all dibs are given to those live in the flesh.

A NOTE ABOUT YOUR LIST'S MUST-HAVE(S) & RSD:

To answer the inevitable question, “What time do I need to get there to make sure I get the [YOUR FAVORITE TITLE(S) HERE] RSD exclusive?” The answer is, we cant give you an exact time because we never know when a specific release will sell out.

We always tell customers regardless of the release, if you really, really, really want it and want to give yourself the best chance of getting it, get here as early as you can.

There are no preorders, no reservations, no holds, no phone orders Record Store Day releases are only available in person at Strictly Discs from 7AM to 8PM Friday. Any remaining stock will be available when we open at 10AM Saturday.
