If you thought the Black Friday CD deals would be over now that Black Friday itself is only a memory, you'd be wrong, because the deals are continuing - but you'll have to be quick to get your paws on a deal before the weekend of sales comes to an end.
There are some really nice discounts available - including 20% off the super deluxe edition on Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion I & II, with Amazon knocking the price down from $259.98 to $208.27.
Myself and the rest of the Louder team are still here bringing you the last-minute weekend bargains, but for more, you can check out our guide to the best Cyber Monday CD deals.

FAQ
When do the 2025 Black Friday CD deals start?
Black Friday will get under way on November 28, with all the cut-price CD deals continuing right through that weekend and into Cyber Monday on December 1.
However, in the six previous years covering Black Friday, I've seen prices begin to tumble way before then, and as you can see above, some discounts are beginning to drip through.
I'm here all the way through the lead up to Black Friday, the day itself and into Cyber Monday on December 1, to bring you all the best Black Friday CD deals covering rock, metal, prog, punk, alt and more. Keep this page bookmarked and check back regularly to find a pile of awesome CD discounts.
What CD deals should I expect to see?
I've been covering Black Friday full-time since 2019 and there are always great deals from on individual CDs, box sets, remastered classics and bundles containing CD and Blu-ray - and this year is bound to see some excellent deals once again.
Amazon, Townsend Music, HMV, Walmart, BestBuy and EMP are just some of the online retailers I expect to see slashing their prices this Black Friday and there are some CDs that I'm hoping to see discounted this year.
Top of my shopping list is the CD/Blu-ray box set of The Tragically Hip's Up To Here album. It's spread across 3CDs and a single Blu-ray and I've been meaning to pick it up for a while, but I'm hoping I can snag it for a good price around Black Friday.
As for what I expect to see discounted, I'd say there should be money off CD box sets by artists including Iron Maiden, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Def Leppard, Motorhead and more.
Shopping tips
Previous experience around Black Friday has taught me that a little bit of planning goes a long way. So here are some shopping tips that'll hopefully help land you a great CD bargain.
1. Keep a list handy: By keeping a list of the CDs you're looking to buy this Black Friday, you won't miss anything. I keep a list of stuff I'm hoping to see on my phone, so I can cross-ref that when the CD sales land. I also fine Amazon's list function pretty much essential - and I have several shortlists of products I want to buy during the sales.
2. Budget for a bargain: This year's Black Friday takes place very close to the last day of the month, so for a lot of people, that means it will fall around their pay day. But to take some of the stress out of the monthly budget, if you can put some money aside for the sales, it can certainly ease the financial burden of grabbing a gargantuan CD box set. I always try and put a some cash aside in the months leading up to the Black Friday weekend - I find it just makes things a little easier for me when deciding what I can afford.
3. Shop around: Before spending your money on a shiny new CD collection, make sure you compare prices between retailers. Prices can vary dramatically around Black Friday, so it's always good to take a broad view, rather than just trust one or two retailers. Also take a look and see if the retailer is offering any extras, as some of them will throw in free Apple Music for three months etc.
Myself and the Louder team will be doing that so we can bring you some great CD savings right here, so keep this page bookmarked and keep checking back. Also keep your eyes on our Black Friday music deals page.

How we choose products
I still buy CDs - and by the looks of things, I'm not alone. They're more... er, compact, than vinyl, they don't take up much space in my flat - and I can usually pick them up for a great price. So when I'm checking out the Black Friday CD deals, I'm always looking to fill gaps in my collection, and searching for well-priced box sets.
Myself and the whole team have an wide and varied taste in music: everything from rock, metal and prog, through to alternative, goth, synthwave and jazz - and we want to see CDs on sale for a good price.
I'll bring you the Black Friday CD deals that I'll be tempted by, and other great deals that'll be kind to your wallet.
