Not long now 'til the most important date in every vinyl-lover's 2020 diary, 18th April. The event? Record Store Day, and one legendary L.A. heavy metal institution has decided it's high time to Jump in the Fire.

Master of Puppets Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield et al have launched an exclusive Metallica Vinyl Club, and from 4th-18th March doors are open.

For the princely sum of $49.99, you could be One of the club's inaugural members, making you a Hero of the Day. You could also gift the subscription to a fellow music-lover of course; help them Ride the Lightning.

Memberships are now available for purchase, but once that enrollment window closes, that's it. Don't want to be a Harvester of Sorrow? Well, Mama Said sign up soon.

- 33 1/3 rpm (small hole 7" vinyl)
