Hi there! Friday 11/28/25 is RECORD STORE DAY BLACK FRIDAY! This is a day of celebrating independent shops with exclusive, limited edition vinyl releases. As these titles are limited in quantity, the event usually draws big crowds of collectors and vinyl enthusiasts. We are not doing music or book trades on 11/28 as it is one of our busiest days of the year. We are always happy to look at your trades but ask that you not bring them on 11/28.
What time should you arrive? The start of the line varies year to year, but as this event continues to grow in popularity, we have seen people queue as early as midnight. It should be noted that we do not have staff on the premises before 8am. Please use discretion and be respectful of each other and our neighbors.
An employee will arrive at the shop and start handing out numbers at 8:15am to guarantee your position in the queue. After you receive your numbered ticket feel free to grab a coffee, return to your car for a break, etc., but be back in front of the shop by 8:50. This year our doors open at 9am. Customers will be admitted a few at a time. From 9-10am we are only handling RSD sales - after 10am, regular shopping will commence.
There is no limit to the number of Record Store Day items you can purchase, but each individual can purchase only 1 copy of each title. No duplicates. Store credit may not be used for RSD purchases and all RSD sales are final.
You can call ahead or message me to ask about an RSD item, but we (and every participating store) sign a pledge not to hold anything. RSD is always first come, first served. If you send an inquiry I’ll be able to tell you what I ordered/what we have, but remember: due to the nature of limited edition releases and allocation between over 1300 different stores, there are some items that I ordered 20 of and I might only receive 2.
I would certainly hate for anyone to wait outside all morning only to find out our store didn’t even get copies of what they were looking for. Please do not hesitate to ask me what I have received. I want you to get the things you want!! Sometimes titles originally slated for release have been moved or canceled altogether, possibly due to production delays.
