Legacy Recordings: Timeless Sound, Carefully Preserved

When it comes to protecting and celebrating the greatest music ever recorded, Legacy Recordings is distinct. A division of Sony Music Entertainment, Legacy Recordings is more than just a reissue label: It is a cultural curator working on remastering, restoring, and revisiting our music history.

We here at Elusive Disc pride ourselves on presenting you with a new selection of Legacy Pressings on vinyl LP, SACD, and audiophile editions. Whether you're returning to classic rock or uncovering new favorites, stream encores from iconic jazz performers, or hear the music that shaped the sounds of soul and blues. Legacy gets you closer to the source of great music with clear, unaltered sound, complemented by modern sonic polish.

What Is Legacy Recordings?

Founded in 1990, Sony Music’s Legacy Recordings has been releasing compilations and reissues of influential recordings from throughout its vast trove of recordings through Columbia, Epic, RCA, and Arista, among other labels. Today, it’s one of the most respected imprints for reissues and box sets, often collaborating closely with the original producers, engineers, and artist estates.

Its reissues are so much more than mere reissues; they comprise:

  • Remastered editions using high-resolution transfers
  • Extensive liner notes and bonus tracks
  • Deluxe packaging for collectors
  • Audiophile pressings for superior fidelity

Legacy not only preserves history but also elevates it for a new generation of tape-loving listeners.

Genres and Artists Under Legacy

Legacy Recordings has brought punk and grunge, jazz and soul, classic rock, country, pop, and more to the market. It seeks to make beloved recordings available in the highest quality audio.

Rock Icons

Jazz Legends

Soul, R&B, and Pop Icons

These releases provide not just stellar music but also a stronger link to an artist’s legacy, making them compelling entries into any serious vinyl fan’s collection.

Why Audiophiles Trust Legacy Pressings

Reissues are not all created equal. Vintage pressings are sold based on their sonic quality. Many come sourced from original analog master tapes or high-resolution digital transfers that have been lovingly engineered to maintain warmth and presence.

As much as possible, Legacy collaborates with renowned mastering engineers like Bernie Grundman or Kevin Gray to ensure that, wherever possible, the original analog recordings are mastered by the company's skilled engineers. Vinyl editions are often pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl for greater sound and playing quality.

Legacy’s high-quality CDs enhance your digital listening experience with high-resolution sound, revealing nuances that have never been heard before, not even on familiar recordings.
