As usual, The Vinyl District isn’t letting you go home empty handed. We’ve got a copy of Let England Shake on vinyl for giveaway!
How do you win this critically-acclaimed award-winning prize? Easy. Just tell us, in the comments below, your favorite English artist(s) of all time. Sorry, but I’m taking Paul McCartney for myself. Not The Beatles, just Paul. He’s just so charismatic, and Band on the Run is constantly on repeat at my house.
The winner for the giveaway must have a mailing address in the continental US or Canada will be chosen next Monday, September 19th, so start thinking!
Good luck, everyone!
