Vinyl Vibrations is musical exploration into sounds and grooves from artists that produced their works on vinyl records. Vinyl records -- in commercial form -- date back to 1948 with the first 12" LPs -- followed ten years later, in 1958, with the first stereo LP -- and into the 1960s, the so-called Golden Age of Vinyl -- all the way to current time, when even today, some artists are producing on vinyl records. Many music recording formats have come and gone. Today's world is in the cloud. Not long ago it was music CDs, and if you were around in the 1960s and 1970s you experienced the 8-track tape and cassette tape formats. Some of those old magnetic tapes and CDs have lost their playability, while the vinyl LP has stood the test of time.

Vinyl records captures a rich period in pop, rock, jazz and classical music history.

In each show I explore a topic in the production at the time that makes the artist's work unique and timeless. I'm your host, Brian Frederick, here on Vinyl Vibrations.
