Hallmark Launches New Vinyl Record Birthday Cards Featuring Legendary Warner Music Group Artists

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (June 18, 2018) — This summer, Hallmark is expanding its collection of Vinyl Record Cards with new birthday cards featuring songs from legendary Warner Music Group (WMG) artists such as Tina Turner and The Cars. Each card includes an exclusive 7-inch vinyl record with two songs from each artist built into a sleeve on the card’s cover.

“Both music and cards are unique in that they can uplift and bring people together, and our hope is that these new vinyl record cards will help do both,” said Tom Brantman, creative director – Hallmark Greetings Innovation. “At Hallmark, we believe that a card has the power to change someone’s day, and music can have the same effect.”

Hallmark Vinyl Record Cards are available where Hallmark cards are sold and online at Hallmark.com and Amazon.com. At Valentine’s Day, Hallmark released their first three Vinyl Record Cards, each with a 45 RPM vinyl record, featuring songs from WMG artists such as Aretha Franklin and INXS.

“We couldn’t be more excited to add three new Vinyl Record Cards to celebrate birthdays to our collection with Hallmark,” said Mark Pinkus, President of Rhino Entertainment, who oversees the WMG catalog. “People of all ages are enjoying the vinyl experience, and combining vinyl with cards is a wonderful way to make the experience that much more meaningful.”
