ALL THINGS RECORD STORE DAY
NEXT UP
WHAT: RSD BLACK FRIDAY 2025
WHEN: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28th [10AM - 7PM]
WHERE: 10,000 Hz RECORDS + THE GREEN ROOM
DOWNTOWN OPELIKA, ALABAMA
We've once again teamed up with our pals at The Green Room to bring you a two-spaced RSD Black Friday situation on November 28th. All 150ish RSDBF exclusive releases we'll have on hand + a ginormous drop of something like 500 cleaned and graded quality used LPs will be in The Green Room and the line starts there. Oh, over in the shop (and only in the shop, not on the website), we're also doing a bonkers BOGO-HALF-OFF SALE on all new/sealed CDs, BOX SETS, and MOFI VINYL all weekend long and not a minute longer. If you're sending your mom or dad or kid or whomsoever to find this stuff at Walmart or Target or on Amazon or some other hellscape that isn't an independent record shop, well, good luck with that. Gonna be a good time, but watch your back.
Here's the rest of the boring details:
- 10,000 Hz Records [THE BRICK & MORTAR SHOP] will be open 10AM-7PM on Friday, November 28th with our usual 10,000ish new and used vinyl titles in stock.
- 10,000 Hz Records [THE RSDBF VINYL POP-UP SHOP in THE GREEN ROOM] will also open at 10AM and close around 4PM when we'll begin moving whatever RSDBF stock remains back into the shop to prep for our online sale on Saturday, November 29th. RSDBF 2025 titles will still be available in the shop for the remainder of Black Friday, but you may need to ask for them after about 4PM.
- And if you're asking yourself what in the hell the RSDBF VINYL POP-UP SHOP IN THE GREEN ROOM is, you probably haven't been paying attention to all this text. Here it is again. We will set up all of the roughly 150 RSDBF 2025 titles we've ordered for the day in The Green Room, literally just a few feet down the street from our front door on 1st Avenue. It's the corner space with the white paint and green door next to a big roll-up garage door, which we'll have open all day long.
-
There will be a line, it will start at The Green Room, and it will be clearly marked. Hard to say how long it will be or what time you should arrive, but there are typically some folks there well before the sun comes up and the line tends to start getting long-ish roughly an hour or two before we open. The earlier you're there, the better chance you've got at getting the things you want.
- The first 15 or so customers in line will enter the The Green Room one by one with a little time between them at 10AM, and we'll try to keep capacity in there at about 15-20 shoppers at any given moment. We may also cap the number of customers in the brick & mortar shop if we need to...it's not a huge place and we want to make sure everyone can shop comfortably. There may be times where some folks will have to wait a few minutes to enter. Be cool about it, ok? You will be asked to check any shopping, tote, or otherwise large bags at the entrance to either space, ok?

PRIZES + GIVEAWAYS + SALES, etc:
So, this is new. RSD Black Friday weekend only, IN-STORE ONLY, we're doing BOGO-HALF-OFF all new/sealed CDs, BOX SETS, and MOFI VINYL. Deal is good Friday the 28th through Sunday the 30th and could more or less save you a small fortune if you take advantage of it the right way. We'll also have some freebie posters and promo stuff to give out. And, for our online customers, there will be entirely different Cyber Monday deals up on the site on on December 1st, ok?
-
PARKING: Street parking in downtown Opelika is free literally wherever you find it, and the PNC Bank lot that you can see from our front door is a good place to park if you can't find anything on the street.
- Once again, we've ordered *heavily* for this event, and we've done our best to get substantial quantities of the titles you all requested the most in our customer survey last month. That being said, please keep in mind that these titles are all limited edition and there are apparently more than 1500 stores participating in RSDBF events all over the U.S. this year...that number has grown quite a bit these last couple of years, and that means there are fewer copies of some titles to go around. Seems like allocations on certain things may have been a little rougher this time than they might have been in the past. Some titles will be hard to come by and/or will sell out quickly. Not much we can do about that in many instances, but if we run out of something, it won't hurt to ask if we can get more...in some cases, we might be able to.
-
To give you a hand planning, we will post a list of all RSDBF 2025 titles we'll have in stock - including our starting quantities and prices - HERE by the end of the day on Wednesday, November 26th, if not before.
-
FOR OUR ONLINE CUSTOMERS, all RSD titles that remain after our in-person Friday event will be available at 10000HzRECORDS.COM beginning at 7AM [CST, Central, Alabama time] on Saturday, November 29th. We expect many of these releases to move very quickly once they're made available on this site. If you intend to shop with us for RSD stuff online, you should plan to do it very early that Saturday morning, alright?
- As always, and per RSD rules, we cannot hold or pre-sell any RSDBF releases.
- And of course, all RSDBF releases are one per person. On the website, that translates to all RSD releases being one per person/household/shipping address/credit card/whatever. Multiple online orders for the same RSD titles containing the same names, shipping addresses, billing addresses, email addresses, etc will be canceled without further explanation. No funny business. We don't play.
