The album is Logic's final album with Def Jam Recordings. It contains 30 songs, making it the album with the most tracks in his discography, and features notable guest appearances from DJ Premier, RZA, Royce da 5'9, The Game, AZ, Russ, Action Bronson, Wiz Khalifa, and many others.
The project was first announced & teased on his social media on January 11, 2022. Since then, Logic had been previewing verses online.
The album would contain a lot of samples, hence Logic announcing that the project would be released once all the samples clear. In May 2022, Logic released a TikTok revealing the features that appeared on his album alongside a release date of June 17, 2022.
The project was first announced and teased on his social media on January 11, 2022. "Decades" and "Tetris" were released as the first two singles of the project on April 22. Logic spoke out on social media about mistreatment by his label, Def Jam, detailing that they had messed up his release plans for the singles and subsequent music video. He then announced the project would be slated for a June 2022 release. The album contains a lot of samples, hence Logic announcing that the project would be released once all the samples clear. On the Pep Talk Podcast prior to the album's release, Logic noted that Vinyl Days was created in a 12-day span and that the creative process was turned into a documentary to accompany the release. The album art can be characterized as a photo of Logic's son, Bobby, sitting on an office chair in the middle of a messy room riddled with various pop culture references. Some of the pop culture references on the album cover include a Back to the Future Part II hoverboard, the same type of drum machine that the revered J Dilla used (MPC 3000), a baby Groot from the film series Guardians of the Galaxy, a poster of Quentin Tarantino's ninth film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a teaser poster for Kill Bill: Volume 3, an MF DOOM poster, Eazy-E's 1988 Eazy-Duz-It album, electric guitars, recording equipment, dozens of vinyl records, and a green road sign which previews the title of his next album College Park, which he announced on numerous songs throughout the album such as "LaDonda", "Clouds", "Kickstyle", and "Sayonara".
Vinyl Days was released on June 17, 2022. Prior to the album's release, he released music videos for "Breath Control", "Clouds", and "Tetris" respectively. In an interview with NPR after the album's release, Logic said "I chose Vinyl Days because we actually recorded the entire album in about 12 days, for a wild reason that I'll explain another time".
A verse in the song, "LaDonda", revolving around music critic Anthony Fantano, who had given Logic negative reviews in the past, generated controversy and discussion online due to a portion of the verse in which Logic recounts, “I used to fantasize about murdering you, choking you to death and watching from your point of view ’til we got friendly”. Fantano, not having been alerted of the contents of the verse ahead of time, heard the line for the first time during a livestream, causing him to go on a rant, stating that the line had made him feel “embarrassed”, further adding, “I feel overemphasized. There never should have been any reason Logic should hate me in the first place. Because I’m just reviewing albums. You’re just one of many guys whose albums I review negatively.” However, Fantano did ultimately give the album a positive review.
The album was released in the same week as projects by two high-profile hip-hop artists, Honestly, Nevermind by Drake and Khaza by Kevin Gates.
On July 4, over two weeks after the release of the album, Logic announced that he had signed to BMG. Speaking on signing with BMG, he stated “I’m just glad to move on to a place where I can be independent, and respected as an artist, and feel like I’m in control of my career.”
On July 16, Logic released a documentary that detailed the making and inspirations for the album.
Vinyl Days was expected to debut on the Billboard 200 with projected sales of 35,000 to 45,000 units. Vinyl Days debuted at number 12 on the US Billboard 200 chart. This became Logic's eighth US top 20 debut.
