RECORD STORE DAY: BLACK FRIDAY EDITION


Record Store Day Black Friday is this Friday, November 29th. It's like the junior sized, slightly less totally-freakin-chaotic version of Record Store Day (which occurs each April).  As for the new releases on deck, this year makes last year look like a test run...which is to say we've got loads of new albums becoming available Friday morning.  You can find a list of just about everything (there are some scatter random new arrivals that will show up before Friday) we have in stock and ready for Friday morning here.  Most everything is available in limited quantities, first come first serve.  The shop opens at 11am.  See you then!

Our shop hours...just in case you don't know them by heart:
Friday, November 29th 11:00 A.M. - 9:00 P.M.
Saturday, November 30th 11:00 A.M. - 9:00 P.M.
Sunday, December 1st 12:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M.

Record Store Day is this Saturday, April 20th.

We'll open our doors for business one hour early, at 10am.

There are hundreds of titles scheduled for release, and we have nearly all of them flooding into the shop this week.  A PDF of the full list is available here.

Most of the titles that are scheduled for release are pressed in limited quantities and will go quickly.  Good luck!

RARE, EXCLUSIVE KING TUFF FOR RSD
;
 
King Tuff's classic debut album, 'Was Dead' will see its reissue on Burger Records later this month, but as one last hurrah we managed to track down a mind-numbing stash of the album's original pressing on The Colonel Records.  We've got sealed mint copies of the album's super limited second pressing (with orange/blue cover) on puke (ltd 100) and green (also ltd 100) colored vinyl.  AND as an added 'this can't be real' bonus, we've got a handful of test presses for the album. They are limited to 30 with hand-numbered, silk-screened covers.  As with all Record Store Day titles, they are one copy of each per person.

NAILS RECORD RELEASE SHOW
JUNE 8th, 2013 @ THE ECHO
and enter-to-win a LTD SIGNED POSTER

 
 
We've been gushing about this new Nails album, Abandon All Life (Southern Lord) pretty month non-stop since we heard it earlier this year.  So much so, in fact, that the band and FYF have asked us to help present the band's Los Angeles album release show this June 8th at the Echo with Xibalba, Power Trip, Palm and Harm Wulf.  We've got tickets for sale here and now…and as an added incentive to come in and pick up yours in advance, you'll be able to enter-to-win one of a suuuuuper ltd run of 24" x 24" prints of the album cover signed by artist Farron Loathing. There are 4 prints available to win…which means the more you come in and enter the better chance you have of eventually walking away with one of these…(no purchase necessary, by the way.  You can just come in and drop your name in the box)

NAILS - 'ABANDON ALL LIFE' LP
 and FREE TICKET (with purchase)
to their LA release show in June

Although we can't tell you the when and where, we can guarantee the first 15 customers who purchase Nails' new full length LP (Southern Lord) a free ticket to their yet-to-be-announced June release show. Some of us around the shop have been calling this the first true contender for Metal Album of 2013.
