The UK might be in its second national lockdown of 2020, but record companies don’t miss a trick when it comes to parting music-lovers from their hard-earned cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If splitting Record Store Day into three drop dates wasn’t enough, Friday 27 November is Black Friday<\/strong> – so what better excuse for loads more exclusive releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although most record shops are in lockdown, you’ll be able to try to snag your wants from their website, via the phone or over social media from 6pm. Look out for the hashtag #RSDBF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s 10 punk, indie and alternative titles which might grab your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Beastie Boys – Some Old Bullshit (UMG).<\/strong> This is a compilation album originally released in 1994 which gathers several early EPs, recorded in the early 1980s, when the hip-hop legends were still part of the New York hardcore scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Editors – The Back Room (Play It Again).<\/strong> Is it really 15 years since the Birmingham indie-rock band released their Mercury Prize-nominated debut album, featuring the singles Munich and Blood? This anniversary edition is on white vinyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fountains of Wayne – Welcome Interstate Managers (Real Gone Music).<\/strong> It’s the most popular album by one of the finest power pop bands of all time\u2026and it’s never been on vinyl.

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gallon Drunk – Black Friday CD Bundle (Sartorial Records).<\/strong> What better way to celebrate RSD Black Friday than \u2026 er, a 3CD set? The alt-rockers from London have their early singles compiled with a live set, the spoken word soundtrack for Derek Raymond\u2019s shocking novel I Was Dora Suarez and the CD single Grand Union Canal, complete with video. All previously available, they’ve been repackaged together in a limited edition of just 150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mot\u00f6rhead – Ace of Spades (Sanctuary Records).<\/strong> It wouldn’t be RSD without a Mot\u00f6rhead release, so here’s a 12in reissue of their 1980 UK Christmas single Ace Of Spades, featuring the band in Santa suits! It also includes a previously unreleased instrumental remix and a holiday ornament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
