The list for Record Store Day Black Friday 2024 has just been uploaded and there are two Beatle items of interest to collectors, plus one from Dark Horse.

This 7″ single was obviously chosen to tie in with the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ arrival in the USA, and their subsequent conquering of the US popular music charts. Not to mention the release of the 8LP set The Beatles 1964 US Albums in Mono, as well as the six LPs that will be available individually. The single is limited to 10,000 copies and is cut from the original US version of the master tapes – the same masters used for the albums in that 1964 Mono box set. It is cut by Kevin Reeves in Nashville using an all-analog cutting process and on the same 1970 lathe at the Capitol studios. Read more about it here.

The other Beatle item slated for RSD Black Friday is another of those tiny 3″ vinyl singles designed to play on the similarly tiny Crosley record player.

‘All My Loving’ comes with a Beatle-branded carry case and it too celebrates the 60th anniversary of the group’s 1964 American Tour – and their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show that year. With the release of this 3″ record all five of the songs the band played on the show is now complete. The other singles (released for Record Store Day proper earlier this year) were: ‘I Want To Hold Your Had’, ‘Til There Was You’, ‘She Loves You’ and ‘I Saw Her Standing There’. Like them, this 3” will be housed in a picture sleeve and includes a limited-edition poster.

For those into Beatle-related items, there’s one Dark Horse Records title on the list. It is an instrumental disc for Christmas – on green vinyl – from Leon Russell.

Hymns of Christmas dates from 1995 and it’s the fIrst time this has been on vinyl.

RSD Black Friday is on November 29. Check out the home page for the full list and any updates (there are often additional titles added as the time gets closer).
