Universal Music UK is offering independent music retailers an early seasonal boost in the form of 12 exclusive vinyl releases to roll out onto their shelves from December 1st.
The “12 Days of Christmas” initiative includes gems from the Universal Music catalogue such as a heavyweight etched and numbered 7” of The Who’s Be Lucky – never previously available on vinyl – and a limited release of The Beatles’ Long Tall Sally which is back on 7” vinyl 50 years after it was first released. Also available on two separate dates in December will be two very special Paul McCartney releases in the form of the Wings 7”s – Letting Go and Let ‘Em In.
Bringing the campaign bang up to date is a picture disc version of Imagine Dragons’ multi-million selling debut album Night Vision and a 12″ picture disc including an exclusive song from 5 Seconds of Summer. The promotion also includes a UK exclusive 7” from Weezer, a limited edition 12” from Metallica and two new songs from St Vincent pressed on a 10-inch disc in a die-cut, foil-embossed sleeve.
Around half the releases are being brought into the campaign via the US Black Friday promotion, but the rest are exclusive to the UK. Many are set to become instant collectors’ items as all are available in limited quantities.
The full line-up is as follows:
Metallica, Lords of Summer 12” – December 1st
The Beatles, Long Tall Sally 7” – December 2nd
Tim Hardin, Tim Hardin 1 & 2 LPs – December 3rd
Wings, Let Em In/Beware My Love 7” – December 4th
