Record Store Day Black Friday is approaching quickly, and if you’re not looking for a new TV or a video game console, go to your local record store, as they will have exclusive deals to expand your record collection.

The last Record Store Day was held on April 20 and as tradition follows, the next is on Black Friday.

Southwest Florida record stores will be partaking.

Stellar Records in Fort Myers has ordered exclusive titles and prepared countless quality used records, CDs and cassettes for sale.

In addition to the Black Friday Record Store Day titles, they are offering 20% off used records, a limited-edition Stellar Records patch, gift card specials and a mystery prize pack raffle worth over $150.

Stellar’s last Record Store Day had a large turnout. People gathered early in the morning and waited outside to get their favorite records.

DonutNV, based in Fort Myers, will be on-site selling donuts and coffee.

They will not have a live music event for this sale but anticipate having another show early next year.
