Classic Rock N' Roll Record Albums

60's 70's Classic Rock on Vinyl

Classic Rock Vinyl
From the days of British Invasion, folk-rock, psychedelia, and through hard rock, heavy metal, glam rock, and punk, most sub-genres of rock & roll initially demonstrated an allegiance to the basic music structure of rock & roll. Once these permutations emerged, traditional rock & roll faded away from the pop charts, yet there were always artists that kept the flame alive. Some, like the Rolling Stones and the Faces, adhered to the basic rules of traditional rock & roll but played the music fast and loose. Others, like proto-punk rockers the Velvet Underground, the New York Dolls, and The Stooges, kept the basic song structure, but played it with more menace, although the term "rock & roll" came to refer to a number of different music styles in the decades following its inception, the essential form of the music never changed.

Christmas Vinyl Record Albums

Christmas on Vinyl Records
Vinyl Christmas Records range in genres, from Rockers such as Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen and The Beatles who released a fan club flexi-disc Christmas Record each year from 1963 to 1969, to Country Music stars like Gene Autry, Tammy Wynette, or crooners such as Sinatra and Crosby and who can forget A Charlie Brown Christmas by Jazz artist Vince Guaraldi.

Modern customs of the Christmas holiday include gift-giving, church celebrations, and the display of various decorations-including the Christmas tree, lights, mistletoe, nativity scenes and holly. Santa Claus, also referred to as Father Christmas, (although the two figures have different origins), who are a popular mythological figure often associated with bringing gifts at Christmas. Santa is generally believed to be the result of a syncretization between St. Nicholas of Myra and elements from pagan Nordic and Christian mythology, and his modern appearance is believed to have originated in 19th century media.

Gene Roddenberrys' StarTrek on Vinyl

Space the Final Frontier

Star Trek on the Vinyl Record

To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before
Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry, followed the adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise, a flagship in a 23rd-Century interplanetary alliance known as The Federation. The ship's five year mission was to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Each episode brought the crew of the Enterprise in contact with new alien races or baffling wonders of the universe. When not exploring the galaxy, the crew of the Enterprise often scrapped with the two main threats to The Federation's benevolent democratization of space, the Hun-like Klingons and the more cerebral yet equally menacing Romulans.

Colored Vinyl Records

Limited Edition Vinyl

Colored Vinyl Records
For the most part records are pressed on black vinyl. The coloring material used to blacken the transparent PVC plastic mix is carbon black, which is the generic name for the finely divided carbon particles produced by the incomplete burning of a mineral oil based hydrocarbon. Carbon black increases the strength of the disc and renders it opaque. Polystyrene is often used for 7" records. Some records are pressed on colored vinyl or with paper pictures embedded in them known as picture discs. These discs can become collectors' items in some cases. Certain 45-rpm RCA, RCA Victor or RCA Red Seal used red translucent vinyl for extra "Red Seal" effect. During the 1980s there was a trend for releasing singles on colored vinyl sometimes with large inserts that could be used as posters. This trend has been revived recently and has succeeded in keeping 7" singles a viable format.

Heavy Metal Vinyl Record LPs

America's Rebellion Soundtrack of Choice

Metal Vinyl Records
There are numerous stylistic variations on heavy metal's core sound, but they're all tied together by a reliance on loud, distorted guitars (usually playing repeated riffs) and simple, pounding rhythms. Heavy metal has been controversial nearly throughout its existence -- critics traditionally dismissed the music as riddled with over-the-top adolescent theatrics, and conservative groups have often protested what they perceive as evil lyrical content. Still, despite -- or perhaps because of -- those difficulties, heavy metal has become one of the most consistently popular forms of rock music ever created, able to adapt to the times yet keep its core appeal intact. For all its status as America's rebellion soundtrack of choice, heavy metal was largely a British creation.

Psychedelic Rock on Vinyl lps

Psych Vinyl Records

Psychedelic Or Psych On Vinyl
Psychedelic rock emerged in the mid-'60s, as British Invasion and folk-rock bands began expanding the sonic possibilities of their music. Instead of confining themselves to the brief, concise verse-chorus-verse patterns of rock & roll, they moved toward more free-form, fluid song structures. Just as important, if not more so the groups began incorporating elements of Indian and Eastern music and free-form jazz to their sound, as well as experimenting with electronically altering instruments and voices within the recording studio. Initially, around 1965 and 1966, bands like the Yardbirds and The Byrds broke down the boundaries for psychedelia, creating swirling layers of fuzz-toned guitars, sitars, and chanted vocals. Soon, numerous groups followed their pattern, including The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, both of whom recorded psychedelia in 1966.

Vintage Jazz on Vinyl Records

Jazz - America's Classical Music

Vintage Jazz Vinyl Records
Jazz has been called America's classical music, and for good reason. Along with the blues, its forefather, it is one of the first truly indigenous musics to develop in America, yet its unpredictable, risky ventures into improvisation gave it critical cache with scholars that the blues lacked. At the outset, jazz was dance music, performed by swinging big bands. Soon, the dance elements faded into the background and improvisation became the key element of the music. As the genre evolved, the music split into a number of different styles, from the speedy, hard-hitting rhythms of be-bop and the laid-back, mellow harmonies of cool jazz to the jittery, atonal forays of free jazz and the earthy grooves of soul jazz. What tied it all together was a foundation in the blues, a reliance on group interplay and unpredictable improvisation. Throughout the years, and in all the different styles, those are the qualities that defined jazz.

Progressive or Prog Rock on Vinyl

Ambitious, Eclectic, and Often Grandiose

Progressive Rock or Prog Rock on Vinyl
Progressive music which arose in the late 1960s is a broad and convergent style of rock music and progressive music or more often prog, or prog rock when differentiating from other sub-genres of prog. Progressive rock reached its peak of popularity in the early 1970s, but does continue as a musical form to this day. Prog rock is an ambitious, eclectic, and often grandiose style of rock music and a catalyst to raise the level of musicanship among rock bands and bring a new level of depth and sophistication to rock. Progressive rock was largely a European movement, and drew most of its influences from classical music and jazz fusion, in contrast to American rock, which was influenced by rhythm & blues and country, although there are notable exceptions in the U.S. such as Kansas and Rush - considered by many to be the finest examples of the form. Over the years various sub-genres of progressive rock have emerged, such as symphonic rock, art rock and progressive metal.

Quadraphonic Stereo Recordings or Quad on Vinyl Records

Multi-Channel Recording

Quadraphonic Stereo Recordings on Vinyl
Quadraphonic Stereo or quad sound the most widely used early term for what is now called 4.0 stereo - uses four channels in which speakers are positioned at the four corners of the listening space, reproducing signals that are (wholly or in part) independent of one another. Quadraphonic audio was one of the earliest consumer offerings in surround sound. It was a commercial failure due to many technical problems, which were solved
too late to save the technology from disaster. The format was more expensive than standard two-channel stereo. It also required extra speakers, and suffered from lack of a standard format for LP records. The rise of home theater products in the late 1980s and early 1990s brought multi-channel recording formats back to the forefront, although in a completely different form. Quite a few quadraphonic recordings were made before its demise.

Vinyl Record Care and Maintenance

Protect Your Valuable Phonograph Records

Vinyl Record Care and Maintenance
Cleanliness is absolutely mandatory if the optimum sound capability of the vinyl record is to be realized. A clean record will not only sound better, but last longer. It has long been proven that repeated playing of dirty phonograph records can cause permanent damage to the vinyl. Preservation of your valuable or irreplaceable records requires careful cleaning. Not to mention that stylus wear is greatly accelerated by playing dirty records, and with high price of cartridges these days, playing dirty records can lead to significant and unneeded expense.

Walt Disney on Record

Disneyland Records - Golden Records - Beuna Vista Records

Walt Disney on Record
Walt Disney Records was formed in 1956, before that time, Disney recordings were licensed out to a variety of other labels (RCA, Decca, Capitol, and AmPar Records). It was Walt Disney's brother Roy O. Disney who suggested that Walt Disney Productions (now The Walt Disney Company) form their own record label. Roy enlisted long time staffer Jimmy Johnson to head this new division - Disneyland Records. The label was established in 1956 under the name Disneyland Records; its first release was A Child's Garden of Verses. The company changed its name to Walt Disney Records in 1989. Most of its output is mainly children's music and recordings, mostly based on (or around) Disney cartoons (it has also produced recordings that do not involve any Disney characters, such as the "Children's Favorites" series). It's repertoire includes both read along records as well as full length albums.

Blue Humor on Vinyl Record Albums

Lenny Bruce - Moms Mabley - Richard Pryor - Redd Foxx

Blue Humor on Vinyl Records
The term blue humor also known as dirty jokes or off-color humor is an Americanism used to describe various jokes, prose, poems, black comedy and skits that deal with topics that are considered to be in poor taste or overly vulgar by the prevailing morals in a culture. Blue Humor implies stand-up comedy at its raunchiest; while any comic employing expletives in their act can be considered to "work blue" (as opposed to "working clean," without the use of obscenities), only the most truly vulgar can be considered true blue. Arguably the most famous blue comedian was Redd Foxx, who for years released "party albums" so scatological that most record stores refused to carry them; however, the blue humor of Foxx's '60s-era peak is quite mild in comparison to the work of latter-day stand-ups like Andrew "Dice" Clay, as changing cultural values require blue comedians to be as consistently vulgar as humanly possible. Dirty jokes were once considered subversive and underground, and rarely heard in public. Comedian Lenny Bruce was once tried, convicted, and jailed for obscenity after a stand up performance that included off-color humor in New York City in 1964.

50's Rock N' Roll on Vinyl LPs

Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, the Everly Brothers, and Carl Perkins

50's Rock N' Roll on Vinyl
In its purest form, Rock & Roll has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody. Early rock & roll drew from a variety of sources, primarily blues, R&B, and country, but also gospel, traditional pop, jazz, and folk. All of these influences combined in a simple, blues-based song structure that was fast, danceable, and catchy. The first wave of rock & rollers like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, the Everly Brothers, and Carl Perkins, among many others set the template for rock & roll that was followed over the next four decades. During each decade, a number of artists replicated the sound of the first rockers, while some expanded that definition and others completely exploded the constrictions of the genre.

All Hollows Eve....., Halloween on Vinyl

All Hollows Eve, Halloween on Vinyl Records.
Halloween, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", carving Jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories. The imagery surrounding Halloween is largely an amalgamation of the Halloween season itself, nearly a century of work from American filmmakers and graphic artists and a rather commercialized take on the dark and mysterious. Halloween imagery tends to involve death, magic, or mythical monsters. Traditional characters include ghosts, ghouls, witches, vampires, bats, owls, crows, vultures, pumpkin-men, black cats, spiders, goblins, zombies, mummies, skeletons, and demons. Particularly in America, symbolism is inspired by classic horror films, which contain fictional figures like Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and The Mummy. Elements of the autumn season, such as pumpkins and scarecrows, are also prevalent. Homes are often decorated with these types of symbols around Halloween.

Movie Soundtracks, Film Music

Motion Picture Soundtrack Record Albums
Film Music works in conjunction with dialogue and
image to establish the mood and tone of a movie; classical, jazz, electronic -- regardless of genre, any material composed or scored expressly for use in a motion picture can be defined as film music. A soundtrack album, on the other hand, is not necessarily film music, as many of the songs that make up the record, as with those for American Graffiti, FM, Pulp Fiction, etc. were not originally intended for use in the movie, and other times as in Batman Forever don't even appear in the actual feature at all. Soundtracks contain music featured in movies and television soundtracks. Usually, these include excerpts of the score and incidental music, plus songs featured in the films or programs. soundtracks tended to play like various artists albums, no matter if it stuck music strictly in the film or music inspired by it.

Rock Concert Posters

A Visual History of Rock

The concert poster is a great visual history of rock n' roll that centers on the posters which were created to advertise the musicians and concert venues. With over six decades of concert posters available, these event posters have become a wildly popular collectible that has taken on a life of their own, sometimes outshining the rock bands they were created to promote. The popular art of concert posters allow collectors to collect by music genre, by musician, by poster artist and even by venue or promoter. Concert promoters also created handbill versions of many of their posters and used them as sidewalk handouts and dashboard fliers to promote upcoming shows. Many of these handbills were double-sided, with poster art on one side and a calendar of upcoming shows on the other. These handbills represent an important element of rock concert history because they were hands on marketing tools that united promoter and concert fan. Concert poster are not only avidly collected today but have spawned collectors clubs, groups and annual conventions that celebrate the concert poster such such as Flatstock or The Rock Poster Society (TRPS).
