Vintage Vinyl Revival

Gert Wilden: I told you not to cry

• on Nik Pascal : Zero Gravity
  • CaseyVanKleef: Nik Raicevic was way a head of his time. I spent many days with him, when I was younger. I have 2 of his records. Zero Gravity is one. It is his art work on the records too. If you only could see his large oil paintings. He was the most inspiring man I have ever come across. He was also drug free all his life……Love you Niky, Casey


• on How to Invoke Spirits, Demons, Unseen Forces
  • KWASI BRAKOH: i went to communicate spirit to help me my works


• on Don’t Fence Me In
  • Kelsi: I was on the phone with my dad when you played that Rojay North a couple weeks ago. I told him there was a song about Prichard on the radio – we know some people from someplace near there that’s so small it’s named after their grocery store – and he said, “There’s not much to Prichard.” 1981? Hmm.


• on Watusi Zombie
  • Tinitus: Hey! Thanks a lot for this amazing collection man! Me and a lot of internauts from around the globe are so thankful. Cheers from Uruguay!


• on Miss Lana Rebel : All I Need
  • Lana: Hi-thanks for the kind words! I feel honored to get a review on a mostly vintage website! Then again I feel pretty vintage, myself. Specially around all those young whippersnapper-rockn roll bands out there at Totalfest! When did bands get so dang loud, anyway?! Was sure nice to meet you! Blessings–LR


• on Vraćam Se Kući
  • James Jajac: Hey! This post is wonderful! [...] My father finally read all of it yesterday, I swear I think his eyes welled up from getting some recognition for it. He was so happy. [...]
  • Audra: Oh my god – my eastern european heart is melting! Now if only I had some potatoes and bacon and sour cream… oh wait! I do! Perfect.


• on The Singing Logger
  • Vernonia Logger: Back when I was a kid, Buzz sang at a charity in Vernonia Oregon home of the History Channels “Ax Men”. He was a great guy….my dad a timber faller, and him talked about logging into the wee hours of the morning. Boy could Buzz drink beer and sing…the more Ole Beer he had the funnier he was….. a great entertainer…and he knew logging.
  • G-MINUS-MARK: WOW that’s the album cover I’ve never seen!! I heard about those mutton chops, but they’re bigger than I ever dreamed!!!!!!!!!!!


• on J.R. Rummel
  • Ty Nuno: J Rummel was an old friend of mine. Sat up all night many times listening to Flatt and Scruggs and Johnny Cash or Hank Williams and drinking whiskey with J.R.


• on Holy Hole-in-a-Donut!
  • Larry Here: So, I was actually watching Batman, upstairs in my parents’ bedroom, on some really old (even then!) turquoise and white black and white TV on April 4th 1968 when the show was interrupted and the news that MLK had been shot came on. Thanks for the memories. I probably had my green velour bellbottoms on, and my wide black belt. I loved that belt. If only it has had some “utility.”


• on Yodelin' Slim Clark
  • Collin: This track is so goddamn hot! I can’t get over it.

While I might never know who you really were, I thank you Sheryl Johnson for the time capsule of music. By the way, I’m keeping your nostalgic collection in it’s rightful place in the tune-tote.

Homegrown Montana local J.R. Rummel is remembered as an accomplished artist, folk musician and influential western mythological folklorist. This raw original folk single presents an example of his contribution and legacy.

"Jugoton was especially popular among the youths behind the Iron Curtain who couldn’t travel to western countries and rarely had access to western music. One of the solutions to obtaining western music was to go shopping in Socialist Yugoslavia which was not an Eastern Bloc country, but a member of the Non-Aligned Movement largely opened to western influences. Thus the Yugoslav records gained a cult status in Eastern Europe and became a sort of symbol of the western popular culture."

The VVR is a free service born out of a love for album art and vintage music, and is intended to be a promotional service. Links to official sources are provided when possible, and only a sample of the audio is included. If you represent an artist or label and don't appreciate the publicity, please contact me and I will gladly remove your material from this site.

Please leave comments from time to time. I prefer to know there are real people out there enjoying this site; not just anonymous audio-mongers plucking files. It especially makes me the happiest little blogger if I get an actual email letting me know where you're from, and what's of interest to you lately, etc.

Please don't link directly to files [images or audio]. If you find something you like, by all means go ahead and use it, but rather than link to the file itself, please include a link to the web page you found the file on, so others may find the full post. In the least, please upload the file and host it yourself, so you're not hogging my bandwidth.

If you do quote, copy, or repost, please give some credit if credit is due, and/or include a link directly to the post you're referencing. There's a lot of labor & love put into a personally cultivated collection, not to mention a website. If you allow anyone to believe you found these records yourself in the back corner of some dusty antique shop, I'm sorry for you indeed
– for it was I who found them there.

Over an obsession with kitsch album-covers and vintage music, the Vintage Vinyl Revival was born on the airwaves of KBGA, College Radio in the fall of 2005, and has since been an ongoing project to collect, archive, present and generally be amused by the wonders of vintage vinyl.
