Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor's industrial rock outfit, will be releasing a vinyl box set entitled Halo I-IV for Record Store Day Black Friday. The limited edition set is based on Nine Inch Nails' landmark 1989 debut album Pretty Hate Machine and includes the original 12" singles for "Down In It," "Sin," and of course "Head Like a Hole." Halo I-IV is out November 27th at your local record store.

The complete list of Record Store Day Black Friday exclusives is up on the Record Store Day website, and as Spin reports, "Nine Inch Nails are perhaps the biggest name" on the list. Other artists releasing exclusives this upcoming Black Friday include David Bowie, Beck, Jesus and Mary Chain, Outkast, and Spoon. There are even some posthumous releases planned from the likes of Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin.

Record Store Day has been an annual celebration of vinyl albums and the independently-owned stores that still sell them since 2007. Typically observed every April on every continent except Antarctica, Record Store Day has recently expanded the festivities (meaning: the day that tons of awesome new vinyl albums drop while local record stores tend to have sweet deals) to a second annual date coinciding with Black Friday. What's up with that, you ask? In Record Store Day's words: "in the past Black Friday was an American event created by large corporate retailers as a shopping day that promoted mass produced items at super low prices in hopes of driving customers into their stores. RSD's Black Friday subverts the model and creates pieces of art in the form of limited special editions, often numbered, from a diverse list of beloved artists. RSD's version of Black Friday is an excuse to celebrate both the pieces themselves and the special indie record stores who carry them. Cheap, mass-produced frenzy is not the goal."

Pretty Hate Machine originally dropped 26 years ago as of this past week. Watch the video for "Head Like a Hole" below:
