Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: It's my first Black Friday! What can I expect?

A: RSD Black Friday, an extension of Record Store Day, is the "kick-off" of the independent retail shopping season. It is a day to support your local independent record store, as well as shop 150+ exclusive limited releases!

Q: Where should I park?

A: THERE WILL NOT BE ON-SITE PARKING THE MORNING OF BLACK FRIDAY. Please plan on using public parking at the Camelback Metro Park & Ride, or to use public transit (there's a LightRail stop right across the street!) or ride-share. 

Q: How early should I arrive?

A: Folks generally start lining up well before 8 AM, but do not expect quite the same turn out as April Record Store Day. Arriving an hour or so before we open is usually plenty enough time, but all items are first come, first serve. 

Q: Why can’t I preorder or hold Black Friday Exclusives?

A: RSD stores all sign a Pledge with the RSD organization to follow a specific set or rules - primarily that RSDBF items are in-store and available to the first people to arrive. Opening up sales outside of these parameters defeats the purpose of serving our loyal and amazing customers! The idea behind all RSD events to celebrate independent record stores, vinyl culture, and our community - namely our local customers who live here and shop with us year round. Also, keep in mind that many RSDBF items are sometimes "RSD-First," which means that they may get additional pressings at a later date - check which titles are which here. 

Q: Are you getting the thing that I want and how many are you going to have? Will you have this specific album? 

A: Many of these items are in VERY high demand, and will be arriving in VERY limited quantities. However, some titles are more limited than others, and we're always happy to answer any questions about how many of each title we will receive. Call us at 602-248-9461, send us an email, or DM us on social media.

Feel free to reach out with any additional questions via phone (602-248-9461) or email.
