NATIONAL ALBUM DAY 2022
Saturday 15th October
Shop open 10am-4pm
National Album Day will return on Saturday 15th October and this year will take as its theme Debut Albums. Now in its 5th year, National Album Day aims to shine a light on the art form of the album, celebrating the creativity and artistry that goes into making an album. The Debut Albums theme will look to showcase a broad range of first album releases across multiple genres and decades – from debut recordings that have gone on to become classics to those that are perhaps only now being fully appreciated or which, years later, merit reappraisal. This is not the major RSD experience but guessing there maybe a few titles of interest that sit nicely with our shop so will update you when we have more information and may post incoming titles on our website RSD page nearer the time. As with most vinyl releases nowadays we expect these to be quite limited releases.
Titles expected...there maybe some late additions to follow
THEY WILL NOT APPEAR ON OUR WEBSITE but limited numbers of those titles below will be in our racks on National Album Day, if anything of interest let us know and if numbers permit we can reserve, advice would be given on arrival of releases. This is not RSD so it is NOT a first come first served at the shop but might be worth popping early on the Saturday to see whats in stock.
LIST SOON
November 25th shop open 8am-4pm
Our shop will open at 8am with social distancing and ONE IN ONE OUT. Any last minute restrictions would be advised.
*If unable to make it to shop on the day we will take text messages after 9am to 07904688739 and advise ASAP if titles requested are still in stock.
*Black Friday is the perfect excuse to celebrate both the releases themselves and the unique indie record stores who carry them. Cheap, mass produced frenzy is definately not the goal. Not all UK Record shops participate in this event BUT WE DO.
Q: When is Black Friday?A: Always the day after Thanksgiving
Q: What will be available on the day?A: Selection of titles that are extremely limited as this is a U.S.A. event, small amounts make it to the UK,Europe and beyond.
Q: How will i know what will arrive?A: We will list all incoming titles on our Website RSD page.
Q: How much will they cost?A: Prices will be displayed next to titles once they have arrived so check ahead of the day.
Q: What time does VOD Music Record shop open on Black Friday?A: We will be open at 8am to facilitate people on their way to work or returning from night shift.
Q: What time does VOD Music Record shop close on Black Friday?A: This year it will be 2pm for to allow set up of our Record Fair the following day at Ty Pawb in Wrexham (left overs be on our stall that day).
Q: How many can i purchase?A: As titles are even more limited than RSD and fewer releases it will be 1 of each title up to a maximum of 5 titles. OK to rejoin any queue if you need more than 5.
Q: Can i Pre order? A: No items can be reserved, purely on a first come first served basis.
Note, whilst this is not RSD, with Black Friday titles so limited if you are desperate to pick up something of the list it is a good idea to get to the shop ahead of opening time.
Once priced take that as confirmation they will be at our shop on Black Friday but most likely just ONE or TWO of each with the odd exception due to very limited UK numbers of each title....

Confirmations are listed in the run up to RSD with a price list viewable the night before the day. We always aim to sell as cheap as we possibly can.

Wear suitable clothing if joining the queue early as it can be nippy early in the day and open to the elements. Should it rain, we can put our Shop canopy up if required and there is some cover under nearby shop overhang which very handy - where the queue lines up....hopefully though this wont be necessary.
