Vinyl unboxing of People Watching Deluxe by Sam Fender. I’ve been a massive fan of this album all year and having these additional songs collated on this deluxe just makes sense. Which of the new songs are your favourite? @Sam Fender @Universal Music #vinylunboxing #samfender

Vinyl unboxing of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy by @Elton John. This 50th anniversary release is on 2LP and includes demos and live versions of songs from this classic album. This is absolutely one of my favorite Elton John albums with tracks like Curtains being so personal and autobiographical that they’ve had this huge legacy in the five decades since release. @Universal Music #vinylunboxing #eltonjohn

@Aerosmith Debut Self Titled Album, Legendary Edition. Even if you have never heard of Aerosmith, you have definitely heard Dream On which is a testament to the song’s influence and relevance even 53 years later. It’s definitely a song I sing in my private bedroom concerts for my two dogs and thousands of imaginary adoring fans👀🎸 Thank you @Universal Music for sending this my way. #aerosmith #dreamon #ad #vinyltiktokcommunity #vinylunboxing
