Vinyl lovers and music enthusiasts alike can look forward to a day filled with exclusive releases, special offers, and the unique atmosphere of community that Record Store Day events always bring.
This year’s lineup for Record Store Day Black Friday has just been announced, and it’s packed with over 150 exclusive titles. Artists from across genres are represented, offering something for everyone—whether you’re a fan of pop, rock, jazz, or hip-hop. Major releases will come from big names like Noah Kahan, U2, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, and Kacey Musgraves, among others. You’ll also find iconic classic rock acts such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix releasing limited-edition vinyl that you won't want to miss.
What’s New This Year?
Pop sensation Noah Kahan’s Town Hall (Stick Season Collaborations) will be released on "tiger eye brown" vinyl, featuring digital bonuses from his hit album Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever). The LP includes duets with top-tier artists like Post Malone, Lizzy McAlpine, and Kacey Musgraves, making it a must-have for fans.
Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts Spilled will also make its vinyl debut on red-and-purple marble vinyl. This two-LP set not only includes her album Guts but also adds rare bonus tracks, previously only available on different variants. It’s sure to be a hot commodity, so be sure to grab it early.
For those craving something truly unique, Billie Eilish is releasing Hit Me Hard And Soft (Isolated Vocals), which offers a stripped-down, vocals-only version of her latest album. This physical edition will be available exclusively for Record Store Day, making it a one-of-a-kind piece for collectors and hardcore Eilish fans alike.
U2 will also deliver How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb, a special album of bonus and unreleased tracks from the recording sessions of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. This release will be featured on black-and-red marble vinyl, adding a striking visual appeal to an already intriguing companion album.
The Classic Rock Revival
Classic rock lovers will be in heaven with vinyl releases from legends like The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, and Jimi Hendrix. In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Beatlemania, I Wanna Hold Your Hand b/w I Saw Her Standing There will be reissued, cut from the original U.S. master tapes. Hendrix fans can snag Songs for Groovy Children: The Fillmore East Concerts, a beautifully mastered LP featuring highlights from his iconic 1969-1970 Fillmore East performances.
Other classic acts like The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Santana, Van Halen, and the Grateful Dead will also be represented with special editions, offering a range of must-have pieces for any dedicated vinyl collector. Joni Mitchell’s Hejira Demos will be another standout release, featuring solo demos from her 1976 album, while Van Halen and the Allman Brothers Band will also bring exclusive live performance collections to the table.
Modern Rock and Indie Gems
Rock enthusiasts will also find plenty of modern releases to add to their collections. Pearl Jam will be dropping Waiting For Stevie (Live) b/w Wreckage (Live), a special 12-inch featuring previously unavailable 2024 live tracks. For the indie crowd, expect new offerings from Modest Mouse, Tegan and Sara, and Jungle, among others.
Jane’s Addiction will also release Imminent Redemption, a 12-inch LP featuring two reunion tracks that may be the last new material fans get, as the band appears to have disbanded once again. For alternative rock lovers, Rage Against the Machine’s Democratic National Convention 2000 will hit shelves in a clear vinyl edition, offering another opportunity to own this rare recording from their iconic performance.
Hip-Hop and Jazz Highlights
RSD Black Friday 2024 will also deliver for hip-hop and jazz fans. Expect exclusive releases from hip-hop legends like Ghostface Killah, Cypress Hill, and Snoop Dogg. In jazz, the ever-popular Bill Evans Trio will return with Live at Kongsberg 1970, a previously unissued recording found in the archives of the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, thought to be lost until recently. Fans of Herbie Hancock, Sun Ra, and Max Roach will also find new vinyl releases to add to their collections.
