At the time of his death on August 27, 1990, American musician Stevie Ray Vaughan left behind a large collection of recordings.[1] Over the years, his record companies have continued to issue his music in various formats. Since Jimmie Vaughan, his brother, took control of his intellectual property rights after his death,[2] over 12 Vaughan albums have appeared in the main U.S. albums chart.[3] Several of these have also placed in charts in more than 6 countries around the world.[4] After his death, Vaughan's record company Sony Music Entertainment continued to issue his albums.[2] These comprise studio outtakes/alternate takes, jams, and live recordings.[2]
