Narrative:
Aircraft was towed over from hardstand by maintenance after being worked on for a previous write-up for excessive vibration. Aircraft was released from maintenance and all previous write-ups for vibration were cleared. After departure; on climb out from 12;000 feet to FL230 we experienced moderate vibration. Flight attendants also called to notify us of moderate vibration in the aft cabin as well; and that several passengers were concerned. We then made the decision to return to the departure airport. We followed and complied with all fom and communication procedures for an air-return and overweight landing. An uneventful and normal landing was made approximately 20 minutes later with aircraft weight at 150;200 pounds; and vertical speed at touchdown at 200 FPM.
