Blast from the past label

Meaning

Something or someone that returns after a period of obscurity or absence. It is normally applied to things that that were thought fondly of previously and are making a welcome return - particularly pop songs.

Origin

blast from the pastUsed first by US radio DJs when introducing old records. It isn't clear which DJ coined this, and no one lays especial claim to it.
