Big Black Weekend Sale (AKA 5th Anniversary)



Along with all of the super limited Black Friday Record Store Releases we did get we also have this nifty sale going on. Everything is on sale 10% off. Things in the store over a year (little number on price tag ends in "9") are 25% off. Anything older than that (little number ends in "7" or god forbid a "6") is 50% off!!!!

*Due to the limited nature of the Black Friday Releases and some of their very high cost to us, they are not included in this sale. Sorry. The limited releases are first come, first served and many things we got much less than we ordered, or in some cases not at all due to allocations and a bunch of stuff I paid for not being in my shipment. Argghhh.

National - Violet Friday















To hell with Black Friday. We’ll spend November 26 working off our Turducken hangovers at independent record shops.
Why?
Because a handful of participating indie retailers across the nation will be celebrating
VIOLET FRIDAY with us by offering you, for one day only, the chance to pick up The National’s High Violet (Expanded Edition) two-disc set for only $7.99!!

Yea. That’s right.

The National is issuing a deluxe version of their High Violet album this week with an extra CD of bonus tracks. It will be on sale for the ridiculously low price of $7.99 for a 2xCD on Friday!!!

Bonus Disc Track Listing:

Also get the Terrible Love video on
Foursquare and when you 'check in' they get a free instant download of the video.

Black Friday Record Store Day









The same people that brought you Record Store Day the last three Aprils are back this November with a little holiday shopping treat. Record Store Day is gathering up some more super-limited, extra-choice collectible records for release on Black Friday.

The list below includes just some of the titles being released. Like the regular Record Store Day, there are some stipulations. Because of the insanely limited nature of these releases, we cannot guarantee that we will have stock of every title. We may only get a fraction of what we order or we may not get any copies of some titles at all. Therefore, there will be no pre-orders taken, no holds, and in the sake of fairness, we will limit each customer to one copy of any title and reserve the right to set a limit of the total number of pieces. We want everybody to have a shot at getting some of this good stuff.
