And Finally Artist News Releases
Jonas Brothers launch ‘vinyl subscription club’
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 21 June 2019
The vinyl revival continues unabated, slowly infiltrating every corner of the music world. And now, finally, it has reached Jonas Brothers fans. At last, the reunited siblings’ fanbase has what it’s always been clamouring for – a vinyl subscription club.
I mean, they’re calling it a subscription offer, but really they’re just asking fans to pay up front for their entire discography on vinyl. They’re justifying calling it a subscription by sending it all out in four batches. But that counts, right? Sure it does.
None of the band’s music has been available on vinyl before – aside from most recent record ‘Happiness Begins’, which isn’t included in the ‘subscription’ – so I’m sure this is all super exciting for their fans.
Come on, let’s not be all, ‘oh, I very much doubt they’re audiophiles or have any inkling what vinyl is’. Maybe Jonas Brothers fans love vinyl. Whatever, most people who buy vinyl don’t ever actually listen to it. Yes, even people who like whatever boring indie band you’re into. And probably even you.
The whole discography on vinyl for the first time though! Woo! Where can I buy my favourites? I’ll tell you where, from the Jonas Vinyl Club. You want your favourite JBros album on vinyl? No problem, you just have to buy everything else too. Prices start at a barely even noticeable $399.
For that price, you get eight albums, ten singles and some other stuff, including a Jonas Brothers slipmat for the turntable that you may or may not own. As well as all but their first and most recent studio albums – plus Joe and Nick’s debut solo albums – the package includes various live recordings too, some of which have not been previously released.
Oh, and also, and this is possibly the jewel in the crown, you get ‘V’, the 2013 album they never released in full on account of their splitting up.
But hey, what if you want more? What if that’s just not enough? Well, the Jonas Brothers have plans for your money. For $599, you can get deluxe club membership, which gets you five more records and a big metal box to put them all in.
The extras include the debut album they generally try to hide from the world, ie ‘It’s About Time’, songs from their ‘Jonas LA’ TV series, and a few more live bits and pieces and other records in different colours from the cheaper ‘subscription’. And the best thing about it is that it’s a club! Joining makes you part of a community! And relieves you of a significant amount of all that money that’s weighing you down! Win-win!
For those who sign up, the first 25% of what you’ve bought will be sent out on 1 Aug. The rest will be split into three more shipments over an unspecified amount of time. Because this is a subscription, right? Not just a boring bulk purchase of more music than you could ever want or need from one artist. Yes! The Jonas Brothers are back! And they really saw their fans coming!
Anyway, you can join the club here. Or you can send the same amount of money to me and I will promise to send you some shit I found in a cupboard every now and then.
