THE first vinyl record collectors' fair of the year will take place at The Basement at City Screen, off Coney Street in York, this Saturday, January 13 between 10.30am and 3.30pm.

There will be new dealers, in addition to sellers that have visited York before.

Specialist dealers in jazz, soul, folk, rock and 1960/70s music will be attending this event.

A free valuation service is also available for fair goers to take their own vinyl LPs, singles and promotional and memorabilia along to find out if they have hidden treasure in their collections.

Rarities surface at fairs and vinyl has been back on track, not just for the music, but for the artwork too.

Organiser Adrian Melling, who has been a record dealer for 40 years, said: "The fairs in York started around two years ago and due to the renewed interest in vinyl records the numbers of dealers and collectors attending has increased on each visit."

Among the most popular records for collectors are discs by Joy Division, Stone Roses and Fleetwood Mac.

Entry is free.
