For vinyl enthusiasts, Record Store Day's Black Friday event has launched with limited-run releases available in independent shops.
It's also worth noting that while some brands like Barbour and Adanola do not run direct Black Friday sales, discounts can often be found through third-party retailers such as House of Fraser. Furthermore, the distinction between Black Friday and Cyber Monday has blurred, with most retailers offering the same level of savings throughout the entire period.
