Last spring, the Minnesota Twins held a Prince Night at Target Field, with Purple Rain umbrella giveaways and other royal flourishes. This season, the team have announced, Prince Night will return — and what's more, the Twins have reached a deal to sell cobranded Prince merchandise year-round.

The second annual Prince Night will take place on June 8, as the Twins take on the Los Angeles Angels at Target Field. Each of the first 10,000 fans to enter the ballpark will get an inflatable Prince guitar, with purple ball caps for those who buy special Prince Night ticket packages.

The new Prince-Twins merchandise will be available for sale starting with the home opener on April 5. The Star Tribune reports that the merch will include hats, shirts, and balls — and that an ongoing deal for co-branded musical merch is thought to be a first-ever for Major League Baseball.

Vinyl audiobooks to feature Jerry Garcia, Steve Jones, Lin-Manuel Miranda

With the vinyl boom continuing and a simultaneous audiobook boom taking place, it was only natural that there would be a boom in vinyl audiobooks.

Among the titles are Hamilton: The Revolution, with co-author Lin-Manuel Miranda as one of the readers; a Jerry Garcia interview compilation with Garcia as a featured speaker; and an excerpt from the recent memoir by Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols.

Buy one ticket, get a whole tour

Metallica are selling golden tickets that will allow fans to attend every single one of the 34 shows on their upcoming tour — including the Sept. 4 performance at Target Center in Minneapolis. Only 250 "Wherever I May Roam Black Tickets" will be sold, at $598. That comes to $17.59 a show if you make it to every one, but of course car and hotel expenses are on you. The tickets go on sale along with the rest of the tour this coming Friday, March 2. (Billboard)
