Black Friday vinyl deals: When is Black Friday?
Every year, Black Friday takes place on the day after Thanksgiving in the US, so this year's sales event will officially begin on November 25 - although sales across the internet will undoubtedly begin well in advance. What was once a US-focused event, the arrival of the internet ushered in a new era for shoppers and it's become a massive opportunity to grab a bargain right across the world.
Vinyl fans and collectors are sure to be well looked after on this year's Black Friday and we're also expecting to see major savings on some of the best Bluetooth turntables and best portable turntables around along with awesome deals of vinyl storage solutions.
Not only can you pick up a treat for yourself, but Black Friday is an ideal time to buy a few early Christmas presents.
Black Friday vinyl deals: What to expect
With Black Friday 2022 arriving on November 25, vinyl collectors will be in musical heaven if last year is anything to go by. Last November saw some brilliant savings on everything from vinyl box set, picture discs, gatefold albums to live records and more, so we fully expect to see similar Black Friday vinyl deals across the whole weekend and into Cyber Monday.
We're hoping to see discounts on Def Leppard's Diamond Star Halos, Ghost's excellent Impera and perhaps even a wee chunk of change off Muse's Will Of The People. No matter what, there's guaranteed to be some great Black Friday vinyl deals kicking around – and we'll have everything right here so you don't miss out.

Some Black Friday vinyl releases will be reduced by a small amount, while many others will have their list price slashed dramatically.
We'll do our bit by highlighting the best online Black Friday vinyl deals to help steer you in the right direction.
