RSD Black Friday 2026: Our Highlights From the List

The RSD Black Friday 2026 list is out: 173 vinyl titles, all landing in independent record shops on Friday, November 27. We went through every one. Here are the records we think South Miami will be lining up for, plus a few quieter ones worth knowing about.

How RSD Black Friday works at Endo. These records are sold in store only on Friday, November 27. Nothing can be bought, held or set aside before then. Whatever is left goes online on Saturday morning, November 28.

Our order goes in soon, so we want to know what you’re after. Tick the titles you want on our RSD Black Friday checklist by Saturday, October 17. It helps us decide what to order. It isn’t a reservation, and quantities are set by the labels, so there are no promises.

The big ones

George Harrison’s self-titled album also gets the zoetrope treatment, alongside Thirty Three & 1/3.

Pop, K-pop and right now

Hip-hop

Jazz

Plus Blue Mitchell, Clifford Jordan, Cecil Payne, Art Blakey and a second Stan Getz. It’s a deep year for jazz.

Latin, reggae and Japan

Takanaka fans get three on the list this year: Super Takanaka Live!, Takanaka and Super Selection. Reggae heads should also look for Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Wonderman Years Vol. 1 and two Studio One sets from Soul Jazz.

For the holidays

What the labels on the covers mean

Exclusive titles are made only for RSD Black Friday and sold only through participating independent shops. RSD First titles show up at indie shops first and may get a wider release later. Limited Run titles are small pressings, sometimes aimed at particular regions, so we may get very few or none. The number on each card is the size of the pressing.

That’s only a sample

There are 173 titles on the full list, from the Doors and Stevie Nicks to Carcass and Kreator. See them all, search by artist or label, and build your list on the checklist page. New to RSD? Start with our Record Store Day guide.
