SOUTHWEST CHICAGO RECORD AND CD SHOW SATURDAY JUNE 7

vinyl record show and conventionThis Saturday in Countryside, Illinois, it’s the Southwest Chicgo Record and CD show, held at the Holiday Inn Countryside/LaGrange on Joliet Road in Countryside.

I have no experience with this record show, which runs from 10-4, but any record show is worth a look in at least once! If you’re in the area, you could spend Saturday scoring some deals on vinyl and adding another record show to the list…

Admission is $3 and I can’t find word on whether there’s an early bird fee or not but you never know…

Milwaukee Record and Music Show

Events, ,

It’s completely mad to schedule a record show for the very day after Christmas, but the madness works–this is supposed to be one of the most awesome record shows in the area–the Milwaukee Record and Music show, held at the American Serb Hall, 5101 West Oklahoma Avenue in Milwaukee on December 26 from 10-4PM.

Turntabling will be there–attending, not vending–if the weather is good to us. It just sounds too cool to pass up after having spoken to the organizer who says 600 vinyl junkies will be in and out those doors the day after Xmas. Who can blame them? This could be a whole lot of awesome. It’s about an hour and a half from Turntabling HQ so it’s very tough to say no….an early morning drive, to be sure, crammed with a load of caffeine and the Gary Numan blasting full volume all the way. Or Bossa Nova, whatever feels right at 7AM on a Sunday.

See you there?

Tonight I stumbled across Back2Vinyl.com, which features a great list of record collector shows for 2009. I am very pleased to have found this site and the convention list, as I had no idea about the Glass City Record Show in Toledo Ohio February 8 from 10-4.  I’m planning to hit that one, as well as the mighty Austin Record Convention April 3-5 in Texas. The Austin show is said to be the single largest sale of recorded music in America. Even if that’s just rhetoric, I can tell you from experience that it’s a hell of a show and you WON’T be disappointed. I began my vinyl obsession at the Austin show so it’s only fitting that I go back and cover it for Turntabling.net. See you there?

Back2Vinyl.com is a nice resource for vinyl info and resources. Quite tasty—I haven’t had time to go through it all! The links alone require much research.
