Listening to Black Sabbath's "Vol 4" on vinyl offers an experience that streaming simply can't match. The warmth and richness of the analog sound on a vinyl record bring out the depth and nuance of Sabbath’s pioneering heavy metal in a way that feels both raw and immersive.

MF Doom's 2004 release, MM.FOOD, stands as a monumental work in the hip-hop genre, famed for its inventive beats, masterful wordplay, and distinctive thematic content.

The genius of DOOM’s approach lies in his ability to weave complex ideas into straightforward narratives, turning everyday topics into profound observations.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, MM.FOOD is reissued with vibrant new artwork by Sam Rodriguez, pressed into a stunning 3-color sweetart marble effect double vinyl. This collector’s edition is encased in a tip-on gatefold jacket and includes a QR code that leads to an exclusive augmented reality diner experience—a fitting tribute to an album that continues to resonate as both social commentary and satirical art.
