Legacy

Legacy on vinyl: classics reissued

In short: Legacy Recordings is the label through which Sony Music reissues its huge catalogue – remastered, expanded, often with unreleased material. Many of our records are such reissues from the 2010s and 2020s; some are the first pressing of a new edition. The Vinyl Room currently has 31 Legacy records.

What makes Legacy special?

For Prince collectors Legacy matters: we have reissues of “Controversy”, “1999” and “Sign "O" The Times” as well as “Welcome 2 America”, an album that only came out after his death. The Swedish band Kent is here with “Kent”, “Isola”, “Röd”, “Vapen & Ammunition” and the B-sides collection “B-Sidor 95-00”.

Add Miles Davis with the “Miles Ahead” soundtrack and “Everything’s Beautiful” with Robert Glasper, Wu-Tang Clan’s “Wu-Tang Forever”, Jeff Buckley’s “Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk” and Foo Fighters’ “There Is Nothing Left To Lose”.
