Spoon announce "Vinyl Gratification" scheme at independent record stores
Spoon have announced details of a scheme they’re calling the Vinyl Gratification programme, giving away a free 10” when you pre-order their record at independent outlets.
Akin to how iTunes gifts “instant gratification” downloads of lead tracks when you pre-order an LP online, Britt Daniel and co are doing the same for record stores in anticipation for the release of They Want My Soul.
“If like me, you’ve ever rushed home with a brand new record that you couldn’t wait to play—and couldn’t actually play until you slapped it onto your turntable—I hope the Vinyl Gratification program will bring back some magic for you,” Daniel says in a press release. “And I hope you’ll join us in supporting the independent record shops that have supported us for so long.”
The full list of 150 participating shops can be found here, with Spoon’s new album coming on 5 August.
