Pennsylvania Music Expo Record Show Sunday June 8 2014

Pennsylvania Music Expo record show

A quick look at www.recordcollectors.org reveals the following info on the Pennsylvania Music Expo, hosted by the Keystone Record Collectors–the next one is Sunday June 8, 2014.

The show “…is held at the: Continental Inn, 2285 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, PA 17602 on the second Sunday of every month except Mother’s Day and when Easter conflicts. When those events occur, the show is moved to the first Sunday. Show hours for the always FREE admission event are 9 am – 3 pm. Access prior is open to current, card carrying members only.”

That’s actually pretty amazing–a record show held every single month! Compare that to the ones found near Turntabling HQ in Chicago, where we get a variety of shows, but only once every few months or so for any single record collector’s show.

This looks pretty damn cool…but then again, I say that about EVERY record show, don’t I? No matter–anywhere you can buy vinyl is potentially a good trip. Could this be a Turntabling.net excursion? Stay tuned…

Pittsburgh Record Fest XI

Events, vinyl road rage, , ,

Pittsburgh Record Fest 11This sounds pretty damn cool. The fest costs nothing to vend at except the three dollar admission charge and it’s in a bar, which makes it even more fun-sounding. Pittsburgh Record Fest 11 should be a HELL of a good time and if I could get away to go to this thing I would make the eight hour drive from Chicago to be there…sadly it’s a matter of logistics and I don’t think I can squeeze it in.

But if you are in the area, this looks like a worthy event for any vinyl junkie. It’s this Saturday, May 24 starting at 7PM instead of the early Sunday mornings I am used to, which makes me want to go all the more…

Chicagoland Vinyl Record Show August 11 Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake, Illinois

Events, , , ,

It’s so close you can practically smell the album covers! The Chicagoland Vinyl Record Show happens August 11 at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake, Illinois. This show features tons of vinyl, live performances and special guests, plus tons of antique radios and phonographs.

There’s something really cool–nostalgia aside–about those old phonographs, console stereos, and wood-grain old-timey record players/radio combo units. The designs–especially old Grundig models and others from similar companies–are fun and unique. So the Chicagoland Vinyl Record Show has plenty going for it if you’re a collector, but photographers and nostalgia buffs should definitely check out the show.

Get the entire rundown of the show at the official site, and be sure to note the full address for use with GPS, Google Maps, etc:
