As we noted last October, the DC Record Fair often reflects “a snapshot of the vinyl resurgence in action, veteran collectors bumping elbows—literally—with teens and twentysomething neophytes on the hunt for the freshest pressing of their favorite artist.”
“Classic acts and albums are finding a new audience, too. A young couple on my left is delighted to find one of the two dozen copies of Bridge Over Troubled Water floating around, while a redhead with a nose ring on my right wants the Replacements and only the Replacements.”
And so it was once again on Sunday (3/19) as close to 1,500 vinyl fans descended upon Eaton DC for comb through the crates. On hand to capture, in pixels, the analog admirers was our own Richie Downs.
Watch this space for news on forthcoming events as we head into the 15th year for the DC Record Fair. —Ed.
