It's that time of year again, RSD Black Friday 2024 is Friday, November 29th from 8AM to 9PM at both of our locations. Most of you know the drill by now, but for those who are new to celebrating Record Store Day with us, here is a refresher so you have the best possible experience:
RSD merchandise will be spread out across each store so folks aren't shopping right on top of each other (as much as possible.) It will be alphabetized by first name (soundtracks and various artists compilations by the title) and the layout will make sense (snaking up and down the aisles in order.) If you come into the stores between now and then, we'll be able to give you a general idea of how the layout will go.
We will begin distributing wristbands on the Monday the week before RSD (11/18) both in-store and online beginning at noon, and each wristband will give you a designated time to come in and shop, so no sleeping outside overnight or lining up crazy early! (More on wristbands closer to that date.)
As early as 7:30AM, the 8:00AM group may line up outside the store, in wristband order. They'll shop starting at 8:00AM, and as soon as people from the 8:00AM group start to leave, people from the 8:30AM group will be let in early! And so on.
We are not going to limit your time. If you know what you want and you are in and out in ten minutes, great - someone from the next group will get in ahead of schedule. If you stay for an hour or two and buy some used merch or some catalog albums (we are really well stocked right now) then go ahead and shop! Take your time, we appreciate ya!
We have a good bit of RSD stock coming in as always. We can still add some stock, so you may remind us of your wants, especially if they are more obscure. Obviously, the big names, we buy heavy. If you like an artist who is a little more off the beaten path, we may not have ordered many - so if you let us know, we may be able to increase our orders. Keep in mind we never get as much as what we order (neither does any other store in the country.) We're posting the full list of titles along with our prices, and the titles in alphabetized order as they will be found in the store (you can also see them at www.recordstoreday.com) but not, at this moment, posting the quantities ordered until closer to the 25th.
Wristband distribution - both in person and online:
On Monday, November 18th, beginning at noon (we open at 11:00AM, so there will be no lining up before opening) you may come in to either store to get a wristband. (No purchase necessary.) You just go up to the counter, ask for a wristband, reach into a grab bag, and you will randomly get a numbered wristband within the earliest available hour and see where you are in line. We are going to distribute them in groups, so the first people to come in are not going to get number 100, they're going to get between 1 and 20 in Oakland Park, between 1 and 30 in Lauderhill. Once the first group has all been picked, we'll start the second group. We will continue picking the groups every day until we have given away all available wristbands as late as 10:30AM. If you don't get a wristband to come in by 10:30AM, anyone can come in without one starting at our normal opening time of 11AM. (The minutia herein are subject to change should we expect changes from turnout compared to previous events)
Please do not show up before 11AM the day of the event without a wristband and expect to walk right in.
Wait - what about the people who can't come in that day? While there will be an advantage to coming into the store to get your wristband (you are more likely to get a better number that way) within each group, some will go to people who email us at a designated email address (email address to be announced on Monday.) This is meant for folks who cannot come into the store, or the folks in Melbourne and Jupiter who come down every year but can't drive down just to get a wristband, etc.
Just like previous years, we will not be putting any leftover merch online until the next day. (8AM at the soonest, but it could be later.)
We thank you guys for being so awesome during the last few events, and can’t wait to see you all again this year!
