Jamey Reilly of Jamey’s House of Music and Andrea DiFabio of Vinyl Revival have teamed up to present Movie Night!
Join us at Jamey’s on Thursday, January 29, for a screening of “Once in a Hundred Years: The Life & Legacy of Marian Anderson.”
Marian Anderson, whose contralto singing voice of great range dazzled international audiences, was a gifted African American woman who had to surmount innumerable, unwarranted obstacles before eventually achieving her dream.
“ONCE IN A HUNDRED YEARS” refers to the quote of the great conductor Arturo Toscanini who once told Marian Anderson: “A voice like yours is heard once in a hundred years.”
Marian Anderson’s story continues to inspire people from very different backgrounds and her achievements in overcoming bigotry have secured her a place as a true pioneer internationally and in her home town of Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love.
The filmmaker walks the streets where she lived; talks to the people who knew her, knew her family, and someone she babysat; see where she was educated and went to church; and marvel at how she was able to transcend humble beginnings to sing for tens of thousands of people, and for Presidents and queens on the world’s stages.
Director: Bill Nicoletti
Writer: Nat Gutwirth
The film won an Emmy for Outstanding Documentary and screened at 7 Film Festivals.

2025 was our first full year in our new store at 19 N. Lansdowne Avenue and we couldn’t be more grateful for the continued loyalty of our customers!
Although we still miss the fabulous theater space we had at our original spot, our new cozy space was perfect for the great music and movie events we hosted all year long.
Here’s a look back at the memorable moments that we shared in 2025!
Dinner and a movie in Lansdowne? Absolutely! Through a partnership with our friends at Jamey’s House of Music, we presented an independent film screening series every fifth Thursday of the month at Jamey’s. We enjoyed pre-show dinners, movies from local filmmakers, and Q & A sessions with the filmmakers following the screenings. Films included “Heart of the Beat” with David Uosikkinen, “Standing in the Shadows of Motown,” “Music From the Inside Out,” and “The Wages of Spin.”
We listened with fellow fans to many new albums before their drop dates. The Listening Parties featured music by Lucy Dacus, The Head and The Heart, Benson Boone, Gigi Perez, Jonas Brothers, Twenty One Pilots, Peanuts/Vince Guaraldi, Florence + The Machine, “Wicked For Good,” and more, and included free giveaways and raffles for great band merch.
We presented a pop-up acoustic performance by Lansdowne’s Bob Beach and David Jacobs-Strain, hosted RSD Black Friday and Record Store Day events, a Kids Music Day Craft, and stayed open late for, and held sales on, Small Business Saturday, the Night Markets, African Caribbean Festival, and Lansdowne’s first Open Studios | Open Town | Open Sound event – a walkable celebration of Lansdowne’s creative community!
2025 was a fun year but we’re looking forward to an even better 2026! With the recent reopening of the Lansdowne Theater, we plan to have extended evening hours on most show nights, host more Listening Parties, movie nights, in-store performances, album release parties, trivia nights, and more!
Follow us on social media for updates and news about all of our happenings – Vinyl Revival on Facebook and @vinylrevivalrecords on Instagram.
Small Business Saturday is a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities.
Come Shop Small with us in Lansdowne on November 29th! It’s a great day to pick up some holiday gifts and maybe something special for yourself.
We’ll have snacks and drinks all day AND we’ll be taking 20% off all new and used vinyl (sale not eligible on Record Store Day Black Friday releases.)
We are so excited to announce that we will be hosting a Listening Party for “Everybody Scream” by Florence + The Machine on Friday, October 31st at 4 p.m.
Since it’ll be Halloween, we encourage attendees to come dressed in a costume as we’ll hold a costume contest! Come in your spookiest and scariest for a chance to win a fun prize!
All attendees will receive some cool band merch too!
