Black Friday, the first Friday after Thanksgiving, has traditionally been the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. It’s all about real low cost deals on a vast range of mass-produced goods from TV’s to Stereos, beds to washing machines and everything in between…. but don’t forget the vinyl!

As always RSD has been working particularly hard this year with local businesses, your community, artists, labels, managers and distribution companies helping promote everything you will find in a record store. This year has again been difficult for all business’s who have all faced challenges, with COVID once again impacting all aspects of the record industry.

To find out more and celebrate Record Store Day and RSD Black Friday, which are different events, check out these RSD Black Friday FAQ’s.

So to celebrate this years Black Friday RSD the artists, labels, managers and distribution companies have once again assembled a stellar list of special releases that you can purchase during this holiday season both in the participating shops and on-line.

There are three categories in the USA List:

EXCLUSIVES: These titles are only released at indie record stores.
RSD FIRST: These titles will be available at indie record stores first and may then be released at other retailers and web-stores sometime in the future.
SMALL RUN/REGIONAL TITLES: These titles are either regionally based and sold at specific stores, or press runs under 1000, which means they may be more difficult to find at record stores around the country.

Here’s the full USA vinyl PDF release list for the 2023 Black Friday RSD.
