Ex-KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent is selling his new album “in master format only” for $2million (£1.5million).
Just months after selling his limited-edition single for $225 (£166), Vincent has announced the news of a 10-track album. The musician, who played with KISS between 1982 and 1984, might be selling “one of the greatest rock albums of all time” for “only” $2million – but he’s offering fans some unique perks with the purchase.
According to Vincent’s official website, the album will be “in master format only”, which can then be released in any format the buyer would like. However, all marketing would have to go through Vincent for approval.
Additionally, the price would not include copyright and trademarks related to Vincent or the album, only a perpetual license to use the brand name ‘Vinnie Vincent Invasion’ and ‘Vinnie Vincent’ for the album. The website states “a separate agreement can be arranged and negotiated” for those interested in purchasing the copyright.
For those who feel the album’s price tag is too hefty, individual songs are also available to buy for $200,000 each. According to the website, no refunds will be made once the buyer receives the masters and artwork. See all terms and conditions here.

Vincent has previously defended the high price tags of his music, writing on Facebook (via Stereogum): “I understand the bitching, the moaning, the whining about price, but you must also understand that my situation is as such that my music is so desired that it will be targeted and taken from me immediately, which I cannot/will not allow.
“I wish it was not this way, but I’m honoured that it is. It’s a double-edged sword for me, but I sincerely hope that when you think it through you will understand the dilemma I face.”
He went on to compare his single to “caviar or fine art”, stating that “not everyone can afford it” and asserting that “fair market price” was “yesteryear”.
Elsewhere, Gene Simmons stuck his tongue down Adam Sandler’s throat at a party to turn him “into my bitch”.
