The 2019 RECORD FAIR was a barn-burner for sure, and we hope you dug through the crates and found yourself some good deals and good tunes. And our STOREWIDE SALE was hoppin’ as well, so what’s not to love? See you next year!
THE DEETS:
Over 40 tables of RECORDS, VINYL action and 45’s, CDs, memorabilia…HOLY COW it’s a music collector’s festival. From the bargain basement steals to hard to find deals the sonic fun is wall to wall. It’s a veritable rainbow coalition of genres: truly different strokes for different folks: hardcore jazz, hip-hop, R&B and funk crate diggers and sellers, rock of every stripe, rockabilly to psyche to iconic to modern, country, folk, pickin’, reggae, world music on LP’s, 45rpm 7”s, even 78’s. There’ll be film score freaks, blues hounds, world music all laid out all over the place. It’s a beautiful thing to behold.
YOU’VE GOT ALL DAY:
As much as we love our early-rising vinyl fans, remember: If you wanna sleep in or take your morning easy, these dealers will all be rockin’ til 4pm! There will still be plenty of crates to dive into in the afternoon!
THE EXTRAS:
DJ TAVO RAMIREZ will be on-hand spinning vinyl for your listening pleasure, working in everything from prog-rock to jazz to rare grooves to funky soul. And OCH-A TEA BAR will be in the house slingin’ out tasty snacks and beverages, including stuffed croissant sandwiches, chips, pasta salad, tons of cookies and muffins, plus coffee and an assortment of hot teas and iced teas.
AN ADVENTURE FOR YOUR EARS:
So please do mark yer calendars and plan hit the Greenville Record Fair at The Sears Rec Center from 10AM til 4PM, then visit us here while you’re on this block, because….
MEANWHILE, DOWN THE STREET…
…our traditional Fall Record Fair ALL-DAY SALE WILL BE IN PROGRESS AT HORIZON! As a thank-you to our loyal customers for keepin’ us rockin’ for 44 years, we’ll have some sweet gift card scavenger hunts, 25% off all pre-loved LPs and CDs, and crates of clearance stuff priced to move. Come on by, we’re here til 10pm!
A GATHERING OF THE TRIBES
One thing that’s really great and fun about record shows (and ours of course) is the tribal gathering vibe that is part and parcel of 40 dealers converging from all over the East Coast and followed by a flood of music collectors and record nerds. Lots of these folks only see each other at these shows and everyone reconnects and new friendships happen; the common bond is collecting music. Among certain of these there’s a depth and range of knowledge that is amazing just walking around in the room all day.
THE RECORD FAIR EXPERIENCE, AS TOLD BY ONE OF OUR HAPPY DEALERS:
“Man it (2018) was another fantastic show! I stayed busy all day long and again, it was one of the best Shows of the year! I had zero sleep because I was so excited about this Record Fair the night before, I just thank you Horizon Records for everything you did to put this show on! You were able to get us all in there (which was amazing), dude it was so awesome! When it was said, done and over :-), it ruled! ” – David Kopeck, Record Fair Dealer/Collector
That’s really it, except a quick very important reminder, we don’t stop and we don’t play around.
Much GRATITUDE, y’all!
