The band claim that the initiative is inspired by their own passion for music and the widespread revival of record store culture, saying in a statement that “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 Vinyl Club will see members receive rare cuts, demos, rough mixes and live rarities on a regular basis, as well as a personalised membership card and additional collectibles throughout the year. If you want to become a member, you’ve got until Tuesday March 31 to sign up, with the band saying new memberships won’t be available again until the 2021 subscription year.
Sign up to the Metallica Vinyl Club.
