Brisbane Record Fair

Overview

Record Store Day only comes once a year, but every second Saturday of every month, Brisbane gets into the swing of things. That’s when a treasure trove of vinyl descends upon West End in the stuff collectors’ dreams are made of. The Brisbane Record Fair is the type of event that gives aficionados reason to salivate, deliberate, negotiate, and then spend, spend, spend, after rifling through crates and crates of rare material.

With more than 50,000 items for sale, the Brisbane Record Fair spans The Boundary Hotel, The Hi-fi Bar and The Rumpus Room in its smorgasbord of sounds, offering up music of all types. Whether you’re after a decades-old gem or something new and funky as an LP or a 45 (or even — gasp — a CD), chances are you’ll find it here. Sellers come from far and wide to share their wares, including private collectors parting with their sonic pearls, and dealers from interstate. A selection from their stash would make a perfect present, whether for someone else, or for yourself.
