1969 - Browse By Year

1969 was a year of monumental endings and radical new beginnings. It was the year of Woodstock, a defining moment for a generation, and the year The Beatles gave their final public performance. As the psychedelic sixties came to a close, rock music was evolving, becoming heavier, more complex, and more adventurous. Our 1969 collection is a time capsule from this pivotal year, capturing the last echoes of one era and the first roars of the next.

This was the year Led Zeppelin released both their explosive debut and the equally seismic Led Zeppelin II, charting a new course for hard rock. It was also the year The Who unveiled their rock opera Tommy, and The Rolling Stones delivered the masterful, blues-drenched Let It Bleed. From the raw energy of The Stooges' debut to the iconic farewell of The Beatles' Abbey Road, 1969 was overflowing with legendary albums.

On vinyl, the raw power and analogue warmth of these recordings are undeniable. The format perfectly captures the electrifying guitar tones, the thunderous rhythm sections, and the experimental studio sounds that defined this transitional period. It’s an authentic connection to the sounds that closed out a legendary decade.
