Black Friday music deals 2025: Everything you need to know ahead of the Black Friday sales... and some early deals too

Buy a Victrola turntable - get a free LP
Buying new vinyl can be expensive, so it’s well worth taking advantage of this deal over at Victrola, which enables you to get a free album – worth up to $35 – when you make a purchase from a selection of the company's record players. Just add the code "FREEALBUM" after you add both items to your basket.

If you're shopping for a compact, portable turntable, but one that still delivers the goods in terms of audio and performance, the second iteration of Victrola's Eastwood deck is a sure bet. The vintage looks belie the tech under the hood, including single knob control, Bluetooth-connectivty and a custom-tuned speaker. It also comes complete with an Audio-Technica AT-3600LA cartridge for crystal clear audio. Buy from Amazon right now.
