Record Giveaway 2025

Welcome to the annual Crucial Tracks giveaway, 2025 edition. This year we are going to take a little different approach and use this contest as a membership drive. We're currently stuck at 72 newsletter subscribers and I'd like to grow that number this year.

SO, I'll keep this open until April 1st, with the following milestones:

• Bare minimum: we will announce 2 winners, even if we don't get any new subscribers.
• If we reach 100 free subscribers (+28) OR 6 annual paid subscribers, we will give away 4 records.
• If we reach 125 free subscribers (+53) OR 12 annual paid subscribers, we will give away 6 records.
• If we get 200 free subscribers (+128) OR 20 annual paid subscribers, we'll give away all 10 records.

Your choice of any record listed below, for FREE. All for subscribing to the newsletter and/or helping us pay the hosting bills. AND If you subscribe to the annual Super Supporter Record Club level, you get a guaranteed free record (not necessarily listed below) just for subscribing. One per year as long as you maintain your annual membership!
