What is Toneplay Core?

Toneplay Core is our exclusive membership programme for loyal fans, supporters and vinyl collectors who want a closer connection to the label and the music we release.

Members receive discounts, exclusive offers, access to limited Core Edition releases, included Core Credit where applicable and additional benefits.

Since launch, Core Membership has helped members save thousands of euros through discounts, exclusive offers and member benefits while simultaneously helping Toneplay do more as an independent label.

Support from Core members played a vital role in funding our first sampler release and helped give four amazing new artists their first vinyl release.

As Core and Toneplay evolve, our goal remains the same: invest in and support new artists, great music and bring exciting products that collectors and fans genuinely value. We are commited to building Toneplay Records as an independent, vinyl-focused label for the long term.

Q&A

Core Credit

What is Core Credit?

Core Credit is store credit added to your Toneplay customer account after purchase or renewal. Core Ultra includes €150 Included Core Credit and Core Prime includes €75 Included Core Credit. Core Supporter does not include Core Credit.

Can Core Credit be used on shipping?

Yes. Core Credit can be used on Toneplay products and shipping, giving Ultra and Prime members flexibility over how and when they use it.

When is Core Credit added to my account?

Core Credit is added to your account after your Core Ultra or Core Prime membership purchase or renewal has been processed. You will be notified once your account has been activated.

Does Core Credit expire?

Unused Core Credit rolls over while your Core Ultra or Core Prime membership remains active. If your membership is cancelled, any unused Core Credit will still be available to spend but you will no longer have access to the Core area or any Core offers and store discounts. Core Credit cannot be exchanged for cash and is non-refundable.

Is Core Credit refundable?

No. Core Credit is non-refundable and has no cash value. It can only be used as credit for purchases in the Toneplay Records online store at www.toneplayrecords.com

Core Editions

What are Core Editions?

Core Editions are limited edition, member-only vinyl records created exclusively for Core Ultra and Core Prime members. Each Core Edition is strictly limited to 100 copies, never repressed and restricted to one copy per title, per membership.

How does the Core Edition access windows work?

Core Ultra members receive a 10-day exclusive access period for every Core Edition release. During this window, Ultra members have a guaranteed opportunity to purchase one copy of that Core Edition. After the Ultra access period ends, remaining copies become available to Core Ultra and Core Prime members until sold out. The one copy per member limit remains.

Can Core Prime members buy Core Editions?

Yes. Core Prime members can purchase Core Editions after the Ultra access period has ended, subject to remaining availability. Prime access is first come, first served. A minimum of 25 copies per Core Edition will be available for Core Prime members to purchase.

Can Core Supporter members buy Core Editions?

No. Core Supporter Tier includes a 10% discount for 12 months and supporter offers, but it does not include Core member area access or Core Edition access.

Why are Core Editions limited to one copy per membership?

Core Editions are limited to one copy per title, per membership to keep access fair and ensure the most exclusive Toneplay releases reach genuine fans and supporters.

Benefits, Draws & Requests

How do the monthly Core Credit draws work?

Each month we randomly select one Core Ultra membership number and one Core Prime membership number. The winning members each have Core Credit deposited to their store account. Each Core Ultra winner receives €100 Core Credit and each Prime winner receives €50 Core Credit. Winners are excluded from future monthly draws for the remainder of their membership period, helping rewards reach more members. Based on full membership allocation, members have approximately a 1 in 6 chance of winning during a membership year.

What does priority fulfilment mean?

Core Ultra and Core Prime orders enjoy prioritised shipping fulfilment where possible. This is especially useful during busy shipping periods.

Can I request signed copies?

Yes. Signed copies are available on request where appropriate. Andy (Pulser) will sign releases featuring his music, productions or aliases.

Are all products discounted?

Most Toneplay products are eligible for membership discounts. Some products may be excluded, including membership renewals, subscriptions plans and selected limited offers or promotions from third parties. Some offers in the Core area are listed at discounted price and are not eligable for additional discounts.

Can I sell or transfer my membership?

No. Toneplay Core memberships are personal to the account holder and cannot be sold or transferred.

Can I purchase more than one membership?

No. We actively discourage this as it goes against the spirit of the Toneplay Core program. Multiple orders from the same address, email or PayPal account will be cancelled and refunded. The account will be banned from future purchases on toneplayrecords.com.
