Vinyl is the fourth album by alternative rock group Dramarama, released in 1991. ^{[4] [1]} It is a celebration of classic rock with Mick Taylor, formerly of The Rolling Stones, playing guitar on all tracks, including a Rolling Stones song.

Critical reception

Alternative Rock wrote that the sound of the album was "steeped in the Southern rock tradition of R&B riffery, bluesy guitar leads, and a whiff of C&W." ^[5]
