Black Friday vinyl deals: Quick Menu

The big Cyber Monday vinyl deals might have come to an end, but that doesn't mean you can't still pick up a cracking LP bargain, as some online retailers are still discounting albums.

For example, Walmart's vinyl sale is still going strong, with money off records by the likes of AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Journey and more.

Meanwhile, in the UK, EMP's vinyl sale is still rocking hard with loads of amazing deals, includes the four album box set of Metallica's S&M2 - reduced from £139.99 to £109.99.

We don't know when these vinyl deals will come to an end, so if you see something you fancy, dive in and grab it straight away to avoid discount disappointment.

The Cult: Electric: Was £22.99, now £19.65
Ian Astbury's mob might be revisiting their goth roots by resurrecting Death Cult, but there's no substitution for the pomp and enormity they achieved as The Cult. Electric might not be as essential as its predecessor Love, but is still a stellar representation of just how much Astbury's dials had moved from his goth days, melding the duckwalk riffing of AC/DC to the blues rock strut of Bad Company, all hip-shaking grooves and promises of great nights on the boards. It might not have the massive price cuts you'll find elsewhere on Black Friday, but nabbing this record for less than £20 - and getting all the feelgood vibes it offers - make it a must.

Dire Straits: Brothers In Arms: Was £32.99, now £25.99
was £25.99 now £32.99 at EMP UK

Dire Straits: Brothers In Arms: Was £32.99, now £25.99

FAQ

Cyber Monday vinyl deals: People sifting through crates of vinyl records

When do the Cyber Monday vinyl deals start?

Cyber Monday will get under way on Monday, November 27. The main Cyber Monday vinyl deals won't just take place on the day itself - we fully expect them to stretch deep into that week. We're posting all our favourite vinyl deals right here, so if you're after a bargain, keep us bookmarked.

What vinyl deals should I expect to see?

Online retailers including Amazon, Walmart, BestBuy, Townsend Music and EMP are all cutting the cost of vinyl records- and many of them will be cutting the price of record players and headphones for vinyl while they're at it.

Last year, we saw some stellar Cyber Monday vinyl deals from artists including Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Rush, Trivium, Slipknot, Def Leppard, Nirvana, Tool and Muse, while BestBuy had an offer where they gave you 15% off if you bought two albums from their curated list.

Some brilliant deals are doing the rounds and there will be more to come.

How to prepare

1. Make a list: Making a list of vinyl records you're hoping to see reduced in price on Cyber Monday is key in helping you grab a great deal as it's easy to become sidetracked once the deals begin to flood in. I write down a list of stuff I want on my phone and, if an online retailer has a wish list feature, I use that too. Doing the latter will let you see at a glance how much of a saving you're making.

2. Decide your budget: No matter if you're after an old favourite, a remastered reissue, a limited edition picture disc or a massive 16-disc vinyl box set, setting your budget in advance will help you to not overspend. If you can squirrel away a bit of money before the sales, that's going to help too. I've started putting some cash aside for Cyber Monday - not a lot, but even a couple of pounds or dollars could help secure you a great deal.

3. Shop around: It's likely that multiple online retailers will be selling the same product at a range of different prices. So before plonking your money down, take a moment to check out other retailers to see how much of a discount they're offering. Keep this page, along with Louder's Cyber Monday music deals page, bookmarked. We'll be covering all the best deals around, giving you all the information you'll need to help you make an informed decision.
