Eighties Vinyl Records

Eighties Vinyl Records (EVR) is a not-for-profit independent English record label based in Liverpool. The label only releases vinyl records by new local artists, as well as some more established bands.

History

Eighties Vinyl Records was formed in 2012 by Dave Hewitson after winning an auction for a day in a recording studio. The Sand Band who had recently departed from their own record label, Deltasonic, said they would record the first single for the new label. On 17 July, The Sand Band went into Track Studios in Liverpool City Centre to record a single.

On 2 November 2012 the first Eighties Vinyl Record single was released, The Sand Band single 'When We Kiss', a limited edition white vinyl pressing.

In 2013 the label was nominated for a Liverpool Music Award.

On 21 April 2018, EVR announced that they will be producing a limited edition 12-track vinyl LP of the soundtrack of the 2009 film Awaydays, never previously released on vinyl. The music of Awaydays is pivotal to the film and comprises post-punk and electronic music, appropriate for the film's setting and atmosphere, focused on the music of Ultravox and Joy Division[citation needed].
