It’s never too early to start thinking up end-of-the-year holiday gifts, and Amazon’s new Vinyl of the Month Club may be the perfect present for the nostalgic music lover in your life.
By joining the club, you’ll receive one “must-own” record from what Amazon calls “the Golden Era of Vinyl” each month. Don’t expect the latest from Olivia Rodrigo or Harry Styles, though. The company is pulling LPs popularized in the 1960s and ’70s. So whether you’re just starting a vinyl collection or growing a decades-old library, expect iconic classics from artists like Pink Floyd, Aretha Franklin, ABBA, Miles Davis, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and more.
Each month’s record is handpicked by Amazon Music experts—starting with late-’70s rock hits The Wall from Pink Floyd and the Clash’s London Calling. Once subscribed, visit the Returns & Orders page to see which album is coming next. If you’re not interested or already own a record, simply click “skip this box” and wait until next month. The Vinyl of the Month Club also qualifies for Amazon’s free returns, allowing you to send back (in new and unused condition) any unwanted album within 30 days.
Available only in the US, the subscription costs $24.99 per month (plus tax) with free shipping, automatic renewals, and the option to cancel anytime. You do not need a Prime membership to sign up. And no, Amazon does not provide the record player. As Rolling Stone pointed out, this is actually a great deal for vinyl enthusiasts, especially when considering the online retailer sells individual copies of The Wall and London Calling for $39.95 and $31.44, respectively. Amazon, however, does not disclose which album pressing subscribers receive.
