Richard Marx Announces Multi-Volume Vinyl EP Series Featuring Unreleased Demos

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 11/29/2021


Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, producer and best-selling author Richard Marx has announced The Vault - Vol. 1, the first in a multi-run series of colored vinyl EPs featuring unreleased demos and early material.  A series of just 500 limited edition vinyl featuring early Marx’s demos from before his first record deal, Volume 1 features four songs and is printed on yellow vinyl. 

“One good thing that came out of the pandemic was finally having the time to go through old tapes I hadn’t heard in decades,” says Marx of the release. “Hearing songs I wrote in my very early days of songwriting mostly made me cringe, but I also heard some songs I thought maybe some fans would enjoy, and the idea of releasing them on vinyl really appealed to me.”

You can pre-order The Vault - Vol. 1 here.

Earlier this year Marx’s memoir Stories To Tell, available now via Simon & Schusterearned the singer the title National Bestseller and a spot on the Publishers Weekly nonfiction list.

The literary debut recounts the singer/songwriter’s life and career — where he’s sold more than 30 million albums, landed a number one song in each of the last four decades and became the first male artist to have seven singles to reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts. Throughout Richard offers a ruminative and refreshingly candid account of his successes and failures in the music industry as he’s experienced it over the last four decades.
