Albany Record Riot Happening Sunday

If there is one thing that I really like, it's finding some really good vinyl records to add to my collection. Now, mine is not nearly as big as some people's, but it's getting there. One way that you can really add to this is by attending record selling events. There is a big one happening this Sunday in Albany.

There will be a record riot at Albany's Polish Community Center on Sunday starting at 10am, but there will be early entry to this event so you can dig around before the rest of us get there. It will go until 4pm.

The Record Riot RETURNS to Albany for more great vinyl digging! Over 70 dealer tables. LPs, CDs, 45s and more.

I will say that this isn't just a great place to go to find records, but it's awesome to be around fellow music lovers and talk about some of our favorites from over the years.

To get into the Record Riot happening this weekend it will cost you $5, but if you want earl access you can get in as early as 8am for $25. You can get in at 9am for $15.

We have certainly seen a resurgence in love for vinyl in recent years. It's hard to compare the sound that it brings to your senses while listening, and I think that's why so many people have developed a passion for not only collecting but listening to their favorite albums on vinyl rather than streaming services.

If you see me Sunday the Record Riot show me what hidden gems you found! I promise not to try and steal them from you.

For the first time since the 80's, record sales have outpaced CD's. Vinyl provides a big time nostalgia feel for listening to music, plus it's just kinda cool to hear it that way. If you're looking to add to your collection, here's a few places you can go.
