Vinyl Record Show Returning To The Salem High School In February
The Vinyl Record Show is Returning To The Salem High School. The 15th annual 88.1 Record Show is set for Saturday, February 17, 2024. I’ve been to this event several times in the past and got some great finds. One I recall right away is a white vinyl copy of the debut Alice In Chains album. One I listen to all the time at home.
The event will feature thousands of vinyl records, CDs, import-only releases, t-shirts, posters, and other collectibles. The show will run from 10 am to 4 pm at the Salem High School Cafeteria, and proceeds will benefit the nationally recognized student radio station operated by Plymouth-Canton Community Schools. They said they expect to build on the success of last year’s show, which had a record attendance of over 700 people. Much of the success of the show can be tied to the resurgence of interest in vinyl records.
According to the press release, “We strive to make the record show an experience for music fans of all ages to enjoy. No matter how long you’ve been collecting vinyl, you can support your local radio station while finding the perfect item to add to your collection.” said Anuya Shetty, Program Director for 88.1 the Park. All of the proceeds will benefit 88.1 The Park, and will help the station meet its mission of serving the community with unique programming and broadcast training for students. The record show is one of the station’s main fundraisers each year.
How much will it set you back to attend? Admission during normal show hours is $5. Collectors looking to get an early start to their shopping can gain early admission between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. for $10. Students at Canton, Plymouth, and Salem High Schools will receive free admission with a student ID.
I hope to bump into a few of you vinyl junkies there!
