Record Store Day’s special Black Friday event is scheduled for Nov. 23, 2018, and an expansive list of special releases will include limited edition LPs from the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band, Phish and more.
A 30th anniversary version of Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band’s Almost Acoustic will hit record store shelves on Black Friday. Formerly out-of-print, the 1988 record will be available on CD and 180-gram vinyl double LP for the first time ever. The release will be printed on green and black marbled vinyl and individually numbered as well as foil stamped. Only 5,000 copies of Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band’s Almost Acoustic will be available.
Originally announced as a part of the cancelled Curveball festival, 6,000 copies of Phish’s Slip Stitch & Pass vinyl will be served up on Black Friday as well. This marks the first time the 1997 live record will be pressed to vinyl.

October 10, 2018 at 2:10 pmThese two, the GDead Seattle show and maybe Crack The Sky are about all that interests me. The April ones are always better. Always the same weekend as Wanee and 420 festivals which sucks. You can have somebody get them for you or get whatevers left on Monday.I would love to see the JGB Live 1990 double CD on vinyl or any of the JGBlive releases, especially Hampton91 with BHornsby.

October 10, 2018 at 12:35 pmI really loved RSD when it launched, but now? Man, it is also on Black Friday? And look at these selections. The barrel has been scraped clean! These are the leftovers from the mixing room floor scraps.

October 10, 2018 at 7:47 amCurveball was cancelled and refunds offered. “For those who were planning on going to Curveball, the band will be offering full refunds for all tickets (including vehicle, travel, and rental packages), through the official ticket provider, Front Gate Tickets, with refunds including tickets’ service fees, and shipping costs. The band also notes that Curveball ticket holders will also be able to redeem the code on their wristbands at livephish.com/redeem, which will allow fans to webcast for free all three nights of Phish’s summer-closing run at Dick’s Sporting Good Park in Colorado over Labor Day Weekend.” No show, money given back other supposed incentives like Slip Stitch, Pass and print no longer owed to buyers. The band didn’t cancel the festival the state did. Band did what they were responsible for and gave free downloads which they were not obligated to do. Other shows cancelled what extras did you get? .
