The 180-gram colored vinyl will be available on March 21st
With the success of the recent Guitar Slinger and The Dirty Boogie reissues from the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Deko Entertainment will bring the band’s Vavoom! to vinyl for the first time in 25 years on March 21st. The set has been remastered on 180-gram vinyl in two limited edition colors. There are only 300 of The Americano and 700 of the Caravan Yellow.
Vavoom! is the fourth release from the Brian Setzer Orchestra featuring “Pennsylvania 6-5000” and “Getting’ In the Mood.” Setzer uses his Rock-a-Billy style in league with some of the best standards from the big band era to produce some very cool finger-snapping, get-up-and-dance tunes.
Vavoom! continues Setzer’s interpretation of the swing era, and he has made classic songs of a bygone era accessible again to a new audience, with classics like “Mack The Knife,” and “Caravan” which won him a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 2001 for his arrangement.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra is a swing band formed in 1992 by Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer. Their debut self-titled album was released in 1994 and was followed up in 1996 with Guitar Slinger. In 1998, for their breakout album The Dirty Boogie, the group covered Louis Prima’s “Jump, Jive An’ Wail”, which originally appeared on Prima’s 1957 album The Wildest! and found themselves with a runaway hit. The album’s success led to a massive tour that ran from fall of 1998 through the summer of 1999, including a performance at the infamous Woodstock 1999. The Dirty Boogie’s success was capped off with a Grammy win for Brian’s version of “Sleepwalk” for Best Pop Instrumental in 1999. That would just be the first Grammy that Brian would bring home with the Orchestra.
