RECORD FAIRS IN SCOTLAND
Hello music lovers - welcome to the Record Fairs In Scotland website!
We aim to bring you a what's on guide to Record and CD fairs for all over Scotland.
We also have contact details for the organisers of the fairs. They are always on the lookout for new dealers and venues so feel free to contact them direct or e-mail us (see contact us page for details) and we will try to answer or will pass your comments on.
Good condition vinyl records and CDs are always wanted for cash or exchange - just bring them along to a fair. If you have a large collection why not take a stall at your nearest fair? Just contact the organisers for details.
Please be aware that although some of the record dealers accept payment by card many only accept cash! So for the full retro experience bring some cash along as there are not always cash machines nearby.

SELLING YOUR COLLECTION:
If you wish to sell your old vinyl or CDs just take them along to one of the fairs as the dealers are usually interested in acquiring new stock.
If you have a large collection you wish to sell you might like to consider taking a stall at one of the fairs - contact the organiser of the fair you are interested in doing and ask for their help.

New Book!
One of our long standing email newsletter subscribers, Graham Sharpe, has a new book coming out following up "Vinyl Countdown."
"Vinyl Countdown", now in it's 11th reprint, followed Sharpe's journey to over a hundred record shops across the globe, from Amsterdam and Angus, to Bedfordshire and Budapest, Tennessee and Wellington.
Now, "ON THE RECORDs: Notes from the Vinyl Revival" explores the impact of recent global events on the record industry and considers the reasons why vinyl remains a beloved - and booming - format. It includes interviews and contributions from voices across the industry - shop owners, record company insiders, online/postal sellers, auction organisers, market traders of vinyl, amateur collectors - who share their stories with candour, warmth and humour.
A mesmerising blend of memoir, travel, music and social history that will appeal to anyone who vividly recalls the first LP they bought and any music fan who derives pleasure from the capacity that records have for transporting you back in time.
The digital edition is available now with the print copy available from 24th September from the publisher Oldcastle Books - click here to buy it.
It is also available on Amazon - here or try your local bookshop if you have one.
