Welcome to the Guestroom Record Store Day Information page for RSD BLACK FRIDAY 2025! If you’ve done Record Store Day events at Guestroom before, you know most of the drill but you might want to refresh. If you’re new, WELCOME! We’re excited to see you! Read up on the details below.
Hours:
We will be opening 3 hours early on for RSD Black Friday at 9am on Frankfort Ave. Line forms with the first person who shows up and will run west on Frankfort (toward the river, Bae’s Bakery, etc). PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL WHILE WAITING IN LINE.
Getting in:
When 9am hits, we will begin letting in the first people in line, 5 people at a time, in 3-5 minute intervals OR LONGER to manage the crowd size inside the store. Please be courteous to our neighbors and each other as you wait.
Organization:
All RSD iitems will be on the walls, column shelves and display racks. LP releases will line the walls in alphabetical order, starting to the immediate left and running clockwise through the entire store. Box sets and oddly sized items will be on a display at the counter. As always, if you need help locating an item, just ask. We are happy to help!
Rules:
NO HOLDING SPACES IN LINE - Spaces may not be held for others (with the exception of small self-care breaks). Your human body must be in line (i.e. no chairs, etc holding a space for you). Do be neighborly if your line partners needs to excuse themselves for a moment. Have fun with your fellow vinyl listening family!! And remember, when the doors finally open, crowding the human in front of you will not get you the item you want any quicker.
Only 1 RSD item of its kind per person (i.e. No, we’re super sorry but you can’t pick up an extra special release for a friend.) RSD releases are first come, first served.
No holds on special RSD releases.
Will you have Black Friday Releases at the new location on Bardstown Rd?
No. Our Bardstown Road location opened after the ordering end date for Black Friday titles and we simply do not have enough anticipated RSDBF stock to supply both locations in a meaningful way. By Record Store Day in the spring, we won’t be sharing titles, our second location will be able to order its own allotments and thus offer even more Record Store Day titles to our community.
WIll there be online shopping for Record Store Day?
Most likely no— but IF the quantities of remaining product warrant online sales that page will go live at noon Eastern Time on Monday December 1st. Please note that there is a chance that items could sell in the store before online quantities can be adjusted.
What is happening for Small Biz Saturday?
We’ll be back to regular hours on Saturday November 30th but we’ll be continuing the 10% off sale at both locations . Thanks for your continued support!
