Renaissance Records

Phoenix, United States. 1993 – present
In 1993, former Aerospace Engineer, John W. Edwards had the idea to form a new recording label which would focus on the reissue of classic rock and classic country LPs on CD for the first time, thus Renaissance Records was born.

By early 1996, Renaissance Records had signed multiple licensing deals with EMI-Capitol, Sony Music, BMG/ RCA/ Arista and Universal Music Group. The company also formed licensing contracts with individual artists both in the United Stated and abroad, as well as licensing an entire library of live concert recordings which would become the basis of it’s Concert Classics series.

In 2020, Renaissance Records join the vinyl renaissance and began releasing music onto vinyl. Renaissance Records continues to release music into 2021 from artists such as Crack The Sky, Electric Light Orchestra Part II, Girlschool, Lindisfarne, Spirit Machines, Starz, Syteria, Bob Welch & Friends, and more.

Latest Releases
Romeo's Daughter - Rapture (CD)
2022-01-03
‘Rapture’, released in 2012, is the band’s third long awaited album. It captures all of Romeos Daughters’ style and verve and is full of superbly crafted songs. With a gap of the best part of 20 years between Rapture and Delectable, this album firmly brings Romeo’s Daughter into the 21st century. It was written in the most by guitarist Craig Joiner and co produced with Ed Poole, the band’s bass player. The album has received critical acclaim, with the first single released from it, ‘Bittersweet’, reaching Classic Rock Magazine’s 'Top songs of 2012' chart.
