Essential Black Friday Record Releases. Can You Get Your Hands on Any of These?

Black Friday has crept over the border and into Canada.  The papers this morning are awash with Black Friday deals on everything from flat screen TVs to Fords, all in an efford to keep us from spending our at-par loonies on the wrong side of the border.

I haven’t heard of any Black Friday record deals in Canada, but you never know.  Here’s what’s being offered at select indie stores in the US today as organized by the people behind Record Store Day in a handy printable .pdf.

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone has their picks for of the best must-haves for today.  Me?  I’d like the 20th anniversary edition of Nirvana’s Incesticide (limited to 4,000 copies) and Joe Strummer’s Live at Acton Town Hall, one of Joe’s last gigs and a show that featured an appearance by Mick Jones (limited to 1,800 copies).

How long before all of these records turn up on eBay at highly inflated prices?
