First Press

First Press Album Club is a new thing we’re starting. We’ve basically made a wee monthly cheat code for hearing new music without living on the internet.

First Press Album Club is our monthly vinyl subscription for people who want new music without doing the full time job of keeping up with it.

No bots, no algorithms, no vague “because you liked one song in 2017” nonsense. It’s just us in the shop picking one brand new release (or new reissue) a month from a lane you actually care about, and making sure it’s worth your money and your shelf space.

You choose your lane, we do the digging. Join and you’re in the gang.

A proper monthly treat that turns up like a wee surprise that you actually asked for. You’ll try stuff you would never have clicked on, and you’ll end up smug about it.

Every month you get
One brand new release (or reissue), picked by us. A genre lane you can switch if your head changes. No “we had too many in the back” catalogue clear out picks. Your copy held for you in the shop, or sent to your door. 10% off in shop any time you visit, because you’re in the club.

Album Club T-shirt
Stick with it for three months and you unlock the official Album Club T-shirt. Not for sale, only for members, it’s your wee badge that says you backed the cause and you actually listen to albums.

How it works
Pickup option is £25 per month. Postage option is £30 per month. Join or switch by the 20th of the month. Pickups start the first weekend of the month. Pause, skip or cancel before the 20th.

Small print that is actually useful
UK postage only for now. We’re doing this properly, so spaces are limited. If you’re the kind of person who says “I meant to buy that” a lot, this is how you stop doing that.

Big thanks to for the artwork, and for egging me on to actually do this instead of just talking about it forever.
