Black Gold Vinyl Fair

Overview

Take a vinyl junkie through their collection and they’ll probably be able to tell you the backstory behind each purchase. And while there’s nothing quite so memorable as reaching into a dusty box of sonic junk and coming up with a long-lost gem, sometimes it’s nice to know the odds of striking gold are in your favour.

That’s what Eastside FM's bi-annual Black Gold Vinyl Fairs are all about. Sure there are over 8000 records to dig through, but for the avid vinyl collector it’s a black plastic paradise. Each record has been hand picked by meticulous music collectors and local DJs including The Vinyl Junkie, Fuse Records, Alex Dimitriades, DJ Nick Toth, Good Groove and a whole slew of newbie vendors. There’s jazz, there’s disco, there’s funk, reggae and blues, and once your hands are sufficiently laden you can ponder how to get your loot home over a beer (free with entry) on the airy rooftop courtyard.
