While CD sales continue to plummet and digital music sales cooling off, the revival of vinyl sees a rise in sales for the fifth straight year. The annual Record Store Day on April 21 is now considered a national holiday, more important than Thanksgiving, by avid vinyl collectors. Its newer infant sister Black Friday Record Store Day—happening in indie record stores across the country Nov. 23—is now definitely overshadowing Turkey Day for LP enthusiasts. The complete list of exclusive Black Friday goodies is now available HERE.
