Warner Bros. Records Announce Exclusive Releases for Record Store Day's "Black Friday" Celebration

Warner Bros. Records has announced they will make a series of vinyl singles and albums available on Nov. 24 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 exclusive limited-edition items from an eclectic list of esteemed artists. RSD's version of Black Friday celebrates these vinyl treasures themselves and honors the independent record stores that participate in this annual tradition.
