Here’s something new for your collecting spirit. Legacy Recordings have launched a new project that can potentially open up long out-of-print albums of music from even the most obscure of Sony music artists. Dubbed the Legacy Vault, this forum allows for you to provide your input and suggestions in a voting procedure that could have a desired album being made available digitally for your enjoyment.

Accessible at [url]LegacyRecordingsVault.com[/url] , this new site can become a template for other labels to follow to finally make lost music completely available to the fan, where it belongs in the first place. Hey…music was made for fans, right? Certainly, all these recordings should not be in some unattainable state.

Hopefully, with the Legacy Vault, fans of all kinds can soon possess that out of reach album. Head on over to the vault and join in the forums. Vote for albums already suggested, or begin your own campaign. The forums found at the site are designed to be open and free-form thus encouraging.

Currently, there are over thirty titles on the list. If you agree with them, vote and help their possibility of release. Start your own and argue the need for your suggestion to see the light of day once again.

I’m excited about the possibilities of Legacy Vault.

The problem is it's download only no cds.

Sony has done the "vote for your favorites" thing before, and I was skeptical that the whole thing was on the level. That said, if they want to make this stuff available via download, I'm all for it. Why not?

So why not just open the vaults, then? Why the hype and the (dubious) voting, yet again? The majority of Sony's catalogue is already available for legal download, so I'm not sure what the point of this is. Although the "Legacy Vault" concept does sound like somebody in the company would like to stop creating new (physical) Legacy remasters.

Very cool. I'm going straight there to request Wendy Waldman Which Way To Main Street.

btw, didn't they present this a few years back & then not follow through? I would be interested if it's flac or wav, but NOT mp3.

Twice.

note that these will be downloads and not physical product.

Started to get excited until I saw the download-only caveat. This is not for me, personally.

i was too. even posted a wish item to it before i noticed it was download only.

Must be FLAC or ALAC for me to purchase anything.
