Gift Sets for Fans

Gift sets for fans pair a vinyl record with a T-shirt featuring the same artist, giving you a present you can listen to and wear. Every set includes an LP and a short-sleeved unisex T-shirt, and many also come with a keyring, socks, an iron-on transfer, a patch, a cap or a badge. The selection mainly features rock and metal bands such as AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, alongside Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson and Depeche Mode. The T-shirt size is stated directly in the set's name, as is the sock size in sets that include socks.

Which albums and record editions come in the sets?

The records in the sets are mostly well-known studio albums: Judas Priest's Painkiller, Korn's Issues, AC/DC's Back in Black or Billie Eilish's Happier Than Ever. There are also compilations such as Greatest Hits by Bruce Springsteen and the Scorpions acoustic album Acoustica. About half of the records are reissues, meaning new editions of older albums, often with remastered sound. Some sets include coloured vinyl, a gatefold sleeve or an album spread across two records.

How do you choose T-shirt and sock sizes for a gift?

The T-shirts in the sets are made by licensed merchandise manufacturer Rock Off from cotton, with some made from organic cotton. They have a unisex fit, and sizes S, M, L, XL and 2XL follow the Rock Off manufacturer's size chart. If you're buying for someone else, find a T-shirt in their wardrobe that fits them and compare its width under the arms with the chart. The sock size range is given in the set's name, for example 36 – 40 or 39 – 45.

Who would enjoy a set, and what else do they need?

A set suits a fan who already owns a record player as well as someone planning to start listening to vinyl: a favourite album is a good first piece for a collection, and they can use the T-shirt and accessories straight away. Without a record player, the record remains a collector's item on the shelf. For Christmas, also browse the Christmas merchandise category. You'll find individual T-shirts without records on the music T-shirts page and the full range in the music merchandise section.
