An exhibition showcasing iconic albums on vinyl released in 1990 is opening its doors this week

Curated by Key Production Group, a leading music manufacturer for vinyl record pressing, design and packaging, the ‘33 ⅓ Vinyl Exhibition’ brings together a specially curated selection of 33 legendary albums from 1990 - 33 ⅓ years after their release.

Open to the public from 30 November for two weeks, music fans and vinyl lovers can journey back in time to the beginning of the 1990s, when digital streaming was just a vision of the future. On display throughout The Vinyl Cafe will be 1990 album sleeves from artists that defined the decade, such as Pixies’ Bossanova, Madonna’s The Immaculate Collection and Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches by Happy Mondays.

Album sleeves from other 1990 luminaries such Jane’s Addiction, The Charlatans, Ride, George Michael, Kylie Minogue, Prince and more will be on show for revellers to read about and listen to through a special Spotify playlist.

Karen Emanuel, CEO of Key Production Group said: “The exhibition is a trip down memory lane to where it all started for us, when these records were the sounds of that time. But more than a look backwards, it’s a chance to celebrate the present and future of vinyl. We welcome everyone, 90s music fans old and new, to come by the Vinyl Cafe, grab a drink, and immerse themselves in a journey through vinyl!”

On 29 November, there will be a private opening night to kick off the two-week exhibition. The launch event, named ‘Songs in the Life of Key’ will include talks and panels from figures within the industry.

As well as paying homage to iconic vinyl, the exhibition celebrates the birthday of Key Production Group. Founded in 1990 as Key Production, the company has been at the forefront of manufacturing vinyl, cassettes, CDs, DVDs and special products for the music industry - working on physical releases for artists such as Eva Cassidy, Björk, Radiohead, Dizzee Rascal and more recently Little Simz and Ezra Collective for their Mercury award-winning album, Where I’m Meant To Be.
