We saw a flurry of activity at the record store in 2022, with a return to some film screenings, stand-up comedy shows, and in-store events like Record Store Day. There was lots of new music and we tried to stock many of the titles that you looked forward to adding to your collection.
As we reflect on the past year and the events that we produced in The Vault, we are disappointed that we must leave the unique theater space within our store behind. We look forward to configuring our new space so that we can continue to provide entertaining events plus shopping experiences!
Enjoy checking out some of the events we had the joy of being part of this past year and stay tuned for what we’ve got planned for 2023!
“Edison 64,” a feature-length documentary produced by American Veterans Media, screened at Vinyl Revival for free multiple times over a weekend. The film tells the story of the 64 students from Thomas Edison High School in Philadelphia that were killed during the Vietnam War. Co-directed by Shawn Swords and Roger Bruce, the film explores the time the students spent at Thomas Edison High School and aims to shine a light on, and pay tribute to, the disproportionate number of Edison students turned soldiers who enlisted in the hopes of a better life but who ended up giving their lives.

He is the longest serving prisoner, first time, non-violent offender, in judicial history. Martorano also served almost 5 years in solitary confinement. The screening, produced as a Delco Arts Week event, included appearances by “Life Without Parole” Director Jill Frechie, Co-producer John Ricciutti, and George Martorano.
