Jigsaw puzzles are not new when it comes to hawking music merch, but it's a first for a dozen of classic heavy metal and hard rock album covers. From Loudwire::
As the world of heavy metal merch continues to expand, U.K.'s Zee Productions will be launching a new serious of jigsaw puzzles, spotlighting classic albums from Iron Maiden, Slayer, Judas Priest and Motörhead.
Few hard rock records have made such a lasting impact as the Machine Head, the 1972 album by Deep Purple. Odd to think that band choose Never Before as the first single back then. Apparently they didn't realise the power of Highway Star and Smoke On The Water. Classic Rock has assembled a roster of notable acts for the tribute CD Re-Machined. Release date: September 24th.
The fanpack also comes with an in-depth, official, band-endorsed 124-page magazine which includes exclusive new interviews with world-class guitarists Joe Bonamassa and Steve Vai and the members of Metallica, Iron Maiden and Chickenfoot amongst others talking about recording these classic songs, plus brand new interviews with Deep Purple – one of the last interviews with the late Jon Lord – on the making of their most well-loved album and exclusive and previously unpublished photographs and artefacts from the Purple archives.Tracks:
