how to get restock alerts for Banquet Records
Banquet Records in Kingston upon Thames is one of the few independent shops whose exclusives matter nationally. Signed editions, shop-exclusive colourways and the record-plus-gig-ticket bundles are produced in small numbers and announced on the shop's own channels, which means the window between announcement and sold out is short.
That's a monitoring problem, not a loyalty problem. Plenty of people who follow Banquet closely still miss the editions, because the listing frequently goes live before or after the announcement, not with it.
Developed for mobile:
what Banquet gets first
Signed editions
Banquet's signed pressings are among the first UK allocations to sell through on any major release, often inside the first hour.
Record and ticket bundles
An album bundled with entry to an in-store show. Strictly limited by venue capacity, and the only route to some of those shows.
Record Store Day allocation
Banquet is a significant RSD stockist, and unsold titles go online in the days afterwards, not all on the day.

how to catch a signed edition
Filter on signed and exclusive
Two keywords cover almost everything from Banquet that actually sells out, and keep the ordinary catalogue out of your notifications.
Pair it with the artist store
Signed editions are frequently split between the shop and the artist's own store, with different quantities and different timings. Watching both doubles your chances.
Keep it on after Record Store Day
The post-RSD listings are the most reliable way to get a title you missed, at the original price.
questions
How do I get a Banquet Records restock alert?
Add Banquet Records to your stores, set a keyword such as signed or the artist you are after, and MerchVault sends a push notification when matching stock goes live.
Can I get alerted about signed editions specifically?
Yes. A keyword of signed matches only those listings, which is the quietest useful alert you can set for an independent shop.
Does this cover the gig ticket bundles?
Yes, where the bundle is listed as a product on the shop's site. A keyword of bundle or ticket picks those up.
Is Banquet covered on the free tier?
Yes. The free tier includes three music stores, so Banquet plus two artist stores or another shop costs nothing.
