How will we know what record stores will have these?

Contacting record stores directly, and/or just showing up. The stores sometimes don’t know what they will be getting 100% of the time because of demand and availability until the last minute. I have a local indie record store and for the RSD’s they usually snap a pick of their release spread the night before, at least can see if it is worth the trip from that.

Some of these in the list aren’t Record Store Day titles, the Marshal Crenshaw lp for example, is a pre order from Run Out Groove.

It’s that time of year again: time for Americans to give thanks for everything they have….and then fight their fellow compatriots tooth and nail for what they still lack. Thanksgiving nemesis Black Friday (and her younger sister Cyber Monday) are just around the corner, and once again American consumers are hungrier than ever for their post-holiday shopping blitz.

On what has become undoubtedly one of their biggest business days of the year, spare a thought for the advertisers, publishers and networks whose service appears to be cracking under the pressure of a Black Friday to remember.

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November. It has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the US since at least 1932. It is a day of big deals, bargains and promotions for American shoppers. http://amzn.to/2ynO5Wg
