Warner Bros. Records has announced they
will make a series of vinyl singles and albums available on November 28th
in honor of Record Store Day's
"Black Friday"
celebration. Originally, Black Friday was created by large corporate
retailers to drive consumers to stores by promoting deals and discounted prices
on mass-produced products. RSD's Black Friday subverts this tradition by
creating special limited-edition pieces, often numbered, from a diverse list of
beloved artists. RSD's version of Black Friday celebrates the
pieces themselves and honors the special independent record stores that carry
them.
Warner Bros. Records - a proud official sponsor of Record Store Day - will
make available the following special releases:
