I enjoy exploring recording artists' vintage material. When some people use the word "vintage", they simply mean "old." When I use it, I basically mean "Pre-fame" (although that's a sticky wicket, depending on how we define "fame"). In the late '80s, I once heard a radio DJ say, "Here's some vintage Rod Stewart" before playing "Maggie May." It's classic, but not vintage. For vintage Rod Stewart, you'll have to dig a bit deeper into the recordings he made with Steampacket.
Please Please Me is not vintage Beatles. The Tony Sheridan sessions, the Decca Tapes, and the Star Club recordings are.
"To Love Somebody" and "Massachusetts" are not vintage Bee Gees. For that, we have to go back to the recordings that were originally only released in Australia (and re-released after they became world famous).
Vintage Jefferson Airplane? Surrealistic Pillow? No. The Great Society? Yes.
That's my take on it anyway.
Any other examples of good vintage material that's out there?

The casual way I've defined both when it comes to recordings (didn't think about it much until seeing this thread):
Vintage: Old recordings released as it originally was in a format.
Old: Old recordings that have been modified after the initial release in a format.
Via the above, the 1980s Beatles releases on CD would be considered vintage music, while the newer remasters on CD would be considered old music.

"Vintage" vs. "Old".
