Welcome To All-About-VinylRecords.com
today i am adding a new link to my friends and blogging buddies All-About-VinylRecords.com I'll let Danny explain what the site is about:
This site, all about vinyl records, reflects that passion for collecting vinyl records and albums. I grew up in the fifties and sixties when Doo-Wop was at its peak.
Fifty years later I still enjoy listening to Doo-Wop, Classic Rock, Country, Rockabilly and many other styles of music.
So...If you're a vinyl cover lover come on in, grab your favorite beverage, and pull up a chair...This could take a while.
Warning to music lovers, the site is full of interesting articles and wonderfully crafted music, so you may be there a while!! A hearty welcome to all-about-vinylrecords.com from the CVR Blog!!!

MORBID SAINT: Reissue Legendary Debut Album on Vinyl
Relapse Records is pleased to announce the vinyl reissue of MORBID SAINT’s criminally underrated debut album Spectrum of Death. Originally released in 1988, this death/thrash cult classic, produced by Eric Greif, was light years ahead of its peers, leaving posers crushed in a heap of destruction! The long out-of-print album has been repressed in celebration of the band’s reunion performance at this year’s
Maryland Deathfest X.
Spectrum of Death will see a June 19th re-release with pre-orders. Order HERE

Sonny and the Sunsets Longtime Companion Vinyl Release
Longtime Companion, will be released June 26th and is currently up for pre-order HERE (180-gram yellow vinyl / CD). All pre-orders receive an instant MP3 download for the entire album at checkout!
The new Sonny & the Sunsets record is a country record. It’s a break up record. Love and Heartache. Every song was written during and is about his break up with his girlfriend of ten years.
The songs came fast and naturally so Smith let the next record be something different, he embellished his Sunsets with members of his country band The Fuckaroos. Recorded to tape in a musty beer stained basement, what transpired was a classic country record.
Smith grew up listening to old time music, his dad is a banjo player and his parents and friends played old time music. "It was around the house, but I didn't like it!" recalls Sonny. "My dad played banjo and his friends would come over and play fiddle and mandolin. But I would go watch tv or listen to AC/DC."
However, some kind of country strain sank in. Gene Clark, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Townes Van Zandt, a little Johnny Cash, even the countrier side of the Kinks – there are hints of all of these in the new record and yet ultimately it still remains a Sonny & the Sunsets sound through and through..

What goes around, comes around - vinyl records spinning again
By Misty Harris, Postmedia News
As with the end of the world and Lindsay Lohan’s comeback (arguably one and the same), we’ve all heard the stories before when it comes to the resurgence of vinyl. But this time, industry analysts have compelling numbers to prove it.
In 2011, more records were purchased than in any other year in the past two decades, with unit sales up 36 per cent, to 3.9 million, over 2010. And according to Nielsen SoundScan, LP album sales for 2012 are on pace to set the bar even higher, with year-to-date sales up 17 per cent over the same time last year.
