While all the yahoos over at the mall are opening at 5 a.m. to sell Snuggies and bad sweaters, The Record Exchange will be celebrating Black Friday like badasses, extending the insanity to a full weekend — staying open until 10 p.m. on Nov. 26 and 27 — and offering you killer deals all over the store plus a sleigh-filling assortment of vinyl and CD exclusives.
Call it Record Store Day 2.0. Black Friday exclusive releases include titles from Metallica, U2, Bob Dylan and many more artists we don’t need to list in this paragraph because they’re listed below. Keep scrolling past that and you’ll find the first round of Metal Club releases we’ll have on Tuesday, Nov. 23 and Black Friday.
