Vinyl Ventures: My Fifty Years at Rounder Records is less a
standard history and more an idiosyncratic memoir written by one of
the three Rounder founders. Rounder Records was born in 1970, a
“hobby that got out of control,†a fledgling record company
more or less conceived when vinyl still reigned, while the Sixties
were still in flower, and which began publishing on a shoestring
budget of just over $1,000. Founded by three friends just out of
college, the Boston-area company produced over 3,000 record albums,
the most active company of the last half-century, specializing in
roots music and its contemporary offshoots. Rounder won fifty-six
Grammy Awards and documented a swath of music that in many cases
might otherwise never have been presented to a broader public.
It’s arguably a quintessentially American success story. This
book focuses on the early years up to and just through when Rounder
evolved to a second stage, with a generational change that has kept
the label healthy and flourishing when so many other cultural
enterprises from the era have folded or gone dark. It includes
original photographs taken by the author or drawn from the Rounder
Records archives. It’s the story of three people with no
background in business who took an idea and, through hard work and
passion, built something of lasting cultural significance.
