Black Friday is coming up, and with more stores closing their doors than ever for Thanksgiving, I'm kind of hoping the "holiday" dies alongside it. However, I highly doubt that there won't be plenty of vinyl enthusiasts/vinyl hawks out on Black Friday for the usual Black Friday Record Store Day holiday.
This year we've got stuff from Alice In Chains, Bolt Thrower, Gwar, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, and plenty more excellent bands putting out everything from re-releases to picture discs (and beyond). Check out the list below, courtesy of The PRP, and figure out what you're going to have to punch someone in the face for this year.
