Eminem Re-releases The Eminem Show… on Cassette Tape

• Save

Eminem proves that the cassette tape is far from dead.

Last year, as part of its fifteenth anniversary, Eminem re-released The Slim Shady LP in cassette tape form.  He did the same for the sixteenth anniversary of The Marshall Mathers LP, and gave some fans bricks from his childhood home.

Now, the Detroit rapper will give a similar cassette tape form treatment to his third album, The Eminem Show.

Eminem first released The Eminem Show in 2002.  Now, the rapper will release a series of bundles to commemorate the album’s fifteenth anniversary.  Along with a cassette tape re-release, he’ll sell shirts and autographed posters.

Fans can find the bundle on his website.

For $30, you can take home the album in cassette tape form along with a poster.  The description reads,

“Celebrate the Anniversary of The Eminem Show with limited edition cassette re-issue, featuring lenticular motion printed cover, plus a 24″ x 18″ poster featuring prints of handwritten annotations of the liner notes by Eminem.”

For $35, you can purchase the album along with a T-shirt in small, medium, large, extra large, or 2-XL.  The description reads,

“Celebrate the Anniversary of The Eminem Show with limited edition cassette re-issue, featuring lenticular motion printed cover, plus a t-shirt that pays homage to album artwork featured in the liner notes.”

Two bundles have already sold out: the $60 cassette tape with a poster and a T-shirt, and the $250 cassette tape, t-shirt, and an autographed poster.

All bundles are sold as pre-orders.  Once purchased, fans will have to wait four to six weeks for their items to arrive.

According to the website, the offer will expire on Saturday, June 3 at 11:00 am EST.

The rapper also made headlines last week when he called on fans to donate money to Manchester victims.  Partnering with the Manchester Evening News and the British Red Cross, the site has since raised £2,158,275 ($2,781,80.65).  The JustGiving page surpassed its goal of £2 million.  The site still has twenty-two days left to go.
