Where Reissue Vinyl Comes To Life

   About 180 Gram Records              Coming Soon Albums

Whether one is an LP aficionado, avid record collector or a music lover beginning to appreciate the sound of virgin vinyl, 180 gram records is dedicated to bringing customers the most exclusive selection of recorded material on the market. As the producer and distributor of high-quality album collections, limited reissue boxed sets, and previously unreleased work from coveted performers, 180 gram records has made a commitment to be the foremost purveyor of excellence in the vinyl album marketplace. Offering customers the opportunity to buy classic legends, such as Everly Brothers albums, Johnny Cash albums, and Jimmy Buffett albums in custom designed collectors’ editions and reissue compilations is what makes this online store truly unique. 

Vinyl is making a fast and furious return within the music industry. Last year, 33 RPM sales showed the first positive gain since 2004. Current and mainstay artists have taken a cue from the indie and import genres which never abandoned the heavier, pure vinyl which preserves the warm, rich sound etched in every groove. The ear deciphers sound coming in analog waves which is the way these songs were recorded, mastered and produced. Every note is captured, laid down and prepared to be heard in the purest form possible. 

Newly issued releases and reissues of legendary artists are currently being manufactured using top quality virgin vinyl which was abandoned for cheaper materials when album production was at its peak in the late 70s and early 80s. Indie artists, in particular, have always been quite serious about wanting listeners to hear their artistic efforts using the purest material. The analog process captures every nuance which is painstakingly intended to be heard through their music. No matter how high tech the digital procedures have become in the music industry, the sound can never be reproduced in the continuous wave cut into a vinyl album. 

Carrying on this legacy, the 180 gram records features several reissues of some of the most beloved Johnny Cash albums; the laid back, breezy melodies carried on several Jimmy Buffett albums; and the smooth and easy harmonies found on The Everly Brothers albums. Some collections include never released tracks, session outtakes, and live recordings. 

Making the revival all the more alluring are the added memorabilia elements included with many of the sets. Liner notes, posters, cover art and rare photos make these limited and numbered editions all the more valuable. Much of the return to the turntable comes from the acknowledgement within the music industry that the vinyl record is truly an art form. Not only does one gain true studio sound, but the visual and physical experience of spinning, holding, and owning a piece of musical history is priceless
