The Vinyl Loft

On this week's show we celebrate the cassette tape with an entire program of music played off this much maligned audio format.

We hope to make mix tapes great again with a wide range of music from rock and pop to alternative and hair metal. (With some Stryper thrown in for good measure!!!)

Yes this show is packed with extra wow & flutter!!!

You'll be amazed at how decent cassettes can sound when played on a quality deck and a little post-production audio processing to boot.

(Many of the tapes heard on this week's show will be available to purchase in our booth at the Vermont Antique Mall.)

On this edition we spin music from the Genesis "Trespass" album released in 1970. We'll also celebrate the music of the year 1970 at least through the lens of The Vinyl Loft.

You'll lots of prog and hard rock from YES, ELP, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Grand Funk, Black Sabbath and more.

Plus music from Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, Nilsson, The Grateful Dead, James Taylor, and of course solo Beatles classics from George Harrison and John Lennon.

It's a music heavy show and there are few long songs stretching the show past the two hour mark.

Hope you enjoy!!!!

On this edition we celebrate the vinyl reissue of the 2011 Within Temptation album The Unforgiving as well as premiere brand new music from Sweden's own Amaranthe on cyan colored vinyl. Plus music for your election day from Chicago, George Harrison, Nightwish, Icon For Hire, The Eurythmics, New Jersey's finest The Smithereens and much more.

This rocking show will ease the stress of what plans to be a long night of returns so please check it out.

Jump in the old Delorean as we take you back to the 80s with an extended tribute to one of the biggest bands of the 1980s Huey Lewis and The News in honor of turning up a copy of their all but forgotten debut album on vinyl. Also because we can't escape the news we spin a mini tribute (for now) in honor of the passing of Eddie Van Halen.

It's been a tough week for us and we are thankful for the kind words. We'll be back under happier times spinning some new used vinyl as well celebrating some new releases don't you worry.

We're back resuming our journey through the musical alphabet with music from John Fogerty, Foo Fighters, Foreigner and more!!!

All classic artists off the original vinyl records that's the way we do it up in the old Vinyl Loft.

Check out our two booths at Vermont Antique Mall up in Quechee, Vermont (Booth 507 - Dealer 680) and over at Union Street Antiques in Rochester, New Hampshire (Bookcase "N" - That's BCN Dealer 1041)

We're back with another edition of The Vinyl Loft A to Z and we'll be bringing you a Mac attack. Yes it's a huge block of classic as well as vintage music from Fleetwood Mac with music from the Stevie and Lindsey era as well as music with Bob Welsh and even early Peter Green material. Plus music from Roberta Flack, Flesh For Lulu, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Flying Lizards and the late great leader of the band himself Mr. Dan Fogelberg.

Today it's a bunch of firsts with music from First Class, First Aide Kit and The First Edition. We'll also drive you crazy with music from Fine Young Cannibals and count to five with The Five Satins. Plus a couple of tracks from Roberta Flack and The Fixx.

Today we invite to our "Stone Soul Picnic" as we begin the "F"s with an amazing block of music from 60s soul legends The Fifth Dimension but first music from a pair of early 60s teen idols, a bunch of 80s music, a horn drivin' rock act that only put out one record and then broke up and a couple of all but forgotten prog rock acts. That's all today as we start the "F"s and let the sunshine in.

It took nearly 20 years but we finally got our good friend Michael Troy on the phone to record an interview for our show. Micheal along with his new band Captain Fantastic will be appearing at the Tupelo Music Hall "Drive-in Experience" in Derry, NH on June 19th so what better reason to do a nearly all Elton John show? This weeks playlist isn't for the casual Elton listener there's lots of deep and rare cuts on the program. Plus we premiere NEW (work in progress) music from The Beloved Few along with a track from Michael's son's band Aurora Takeover.

On this weeks show The Vinyl Loft celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles "Let It Be" album with classic tracks from the album as well as rarities from the film. We will also spin some tracks that were in the charts around the time of the album's release including a number one record from the Guess Who.

Don't forget The Vermont Antique Mall re-opens NEXT Friday for Memorial Day Weekend and resumes its regular hours of 10a to 5p everyday.
