In every box

The music magazine: the story behind every record

Every box from The Vinyl Basement includes our own printed music magazine. It tells the story behind the three records in your box, so you don't just listen, you also know what you're hearing.

What's in the music magazine?

Every box comes with a small printed magazine about the three records inside. Each record gets its own page with the story behind it: when and where it was released, who produced it, which musicians played on it and which tracks are worth listening for. In the Music Gift Box the magazine is made for the recipient.

A page per record

Release year, label, producer, the musicians and the songs that stand out, so you know what you're hearing when you drop the needle.

The story behind the sound

Background you rarely find on a streaming app: how the album came about, who wrote the songs and where it fits in the artist's work.

Made to keep

A quote of the month and a short closing note. It fits in the sleeve, so the story stays with the record.

Two pages of the music magazine, each telling the story behind one record in the box
Two pages from an example magazine. The records, and so the stories, are different in every box.

Questions about the magazine

Is the magazine included in every box?
Yes. Every genre box, subscription box and Music Gift Box comes with the magazine about the three records inside.
Is the magazine different in every box?
Yes. Because every box contains different records, the stories in the magazine are written for those records.
