Black Friday has long been celebrated by standing in crowded malls with impressive discounts on everything from gadgets to socks. But what if we told you there's a way to inject some rock 'n' roll spirit into the annual shopping event?
This year's Black Friday on November 24 promises to be a musical feast of sorts.
While there’s only one Record Store Day a year, Black Friday gives independent and major labels another opportunity to create special releases.
The lineup releasing this Friday includes previously unreleased live albums from Joni Mitchell and Los Lobos, vault releases from Grateful Dead, The Doors and plenty more familiar names.
