Vinyl subscription clubs from record labels is nothing new, but one from a band isn't exactly commonplace. Leave it to metal giants Metallica to do exactly that.
Metallica is offering fans subscriptions to their own vinyl club from now until March 31. The club will give fans:
- Four 7” vinyl records including rare cuts, demos & rough mixes, and live rarities; who knows what we’ll dig up!
- Digital Download Card
- Personalized Membership Card
- Select releases throughout the year will include additional collectibles; this could be anything from exclusive stickers to picks, or even posters!
- The opportunity to purchase exclusive Metallica Vinyl Club merch.
Sign up here for $50.
It’s another first for us… our very own Vinyl Club! As huge music fans ourselves, it’s been super exciting to see the resurgence of vinyl and how much enjoyment we all get collecting, exploring and connecting with other fans mining for lost treasures. Those of us who love the look, feel and sonic warmth of vinyl are sorta in our little exclusive club, so with that in mind, we thought it would be fun to start adding to our collections on a regular basis.
The 2020 Vinyl Club Subscription will be available exclusively to Fifth Members and will bring you rare cuts, demos & rough mixes, and live rarities; who knows what we’ll dig up! …Obviously they’ll all be cuts that have never been released on vinyl before. Each subscription includes a personalized membership card, four 7” vinyl records, and select releases throughout the year will include additional collectibles; this could be anything from exclusive stickers to picks or even posters! Join the Vinyl Club now; membership sign-ups for our inaugural year are open through Tuesday, March 31st at 11:59 PM EDT. Don’t wait! New memberships won’t be open again until the 2021 subscription year.
We’re excited to kick off this new endeavor, and whether you get the subscription for yourself or a friend (makes a great gift!), we hope you have a blast collecting some good-old-school vinyl!
You can also catch Metallica at one of their festival dates, which now doesn't include Sonic Temple and Louder Than Life due to James Hetfield's ongoing recovery.
