A preserved collector's pressing of Play by Ed Sheeran on pink opaque colored vinyl, one of the most anticipated pop releases of 2025 and a bold creative pivot from one of the best-selling artists in music history. Housed in a printed gatefold outer sleeve with a soft touch matte finish, the packaging includes a full insert with album lyrics and credits, making this as much an object to display as a record to play.
Play marks Ed Sheeran stepping decisively into a new era following the conclusion of his Mathematics chapter. Drawing on the common threads of scale, rhythm, and melody that connect musical traditions across cultures and eras, the album blends global influences into a cohesive, pop-forward sound that signals both artistic evolution and commercial ambition. With Sheeran's track record of multi-platinum releases — including ÷ (Divide), = (Equals), and x (Multiply) — Play arrives as one of the most searched and streamed pop vinyl releases of the year, making this pink variant a standout piece for any serious collector.
