Burnt Library Records
We administer and leverage a deep archive of live concert and broadcast‑era recordings, under a non‑exclusive management agreement with the archive's rights holder.
What we do: Archival curation, audiovisual syndication, direct-to-collector audio releases, deluxe vinyl production, and sound licensing all under a non-exclusive management agreement with the archive's rights holder.
Who we are: Burnt Library Records is the catalogue management arm of Veto Visuals, dedicated to unlocking the value of archival recordings through restoration, rights management and tailored distributiona one-size-fits-all approach.
An archive, not a back-catalogue
Burnt Library Records administers a substantial archive of live concert and broadcast recordings captured from radio and television soundboards between the 1960s and the early 2000s, across rock, pop, alternative, blues, and jazz.
Most of the archive has never been commercially released. We work through the archive in stages: clearing recordings for commercial use, restoring and standardising material that remains in raw form, and placing each finished recording with the channel best suited to its content and audience, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Where the Recordings Live
Each recording is placed on the channel built for how people actually want to hear it, not wherever is easiest to upload to.
Short highlights also appear on major streaming platforms as a way to point listeners toward the full recordings above, not as the primary way we release them.
