CHIRP Chicago Record Fair TODAY

[modernwizardry]

I checked this record fair out yesterday and I get a serious haul. If you're in the Chicago area it is still going on til 5 pm tonight. Great dealers and great deals. If you're into vinyl then go!

Here's all the vinyl I got:

Helloween - I Want Out 10" sealed blue vinyl
Diamond Head - Behold the Beginning (86 metal blade)
Bang - Mother/Bow to the King
Savatage - The Dungeons are Calling
Savatage - Sirens
Sanctuary - Refuge Denied
King Diamond - Fatal Portrait
King Diamond - Them
Journey - s/t
Manowar - Into Glory Ride
Trapeze - Medusa
The Who - A Quick One/Sell Out
Vanilla Fudge - Renaissance
Wishbone Ash - Live Dates
Rory Gallagher - Irish Tour 74
Sir Lord Baltimore - s/t

Spent about $140 which is not band considering the Sir Lord Baltimore was $40 of it...I've been looking for that for a long time. Lots of listening to do now.

Yeah lots of the dealers at the chicago shows have metal sections and some of them have really good stuff. The only things I found at Planet Metal were the helloween 10" and the sanctuary refuge denied. They had lots of stuff but a lot of new stuff ($$$).

There are 2 decent record shows that come regularly to the Chicago area.

I'd been looking for that one for a long time too. I've seen it before but always over $30 or so. This was $6!!!

I can't wait to jam it!

Where was this?

Where was this?

It was at a plumber's union building or something...It was kinda near the united center. There was a free parking lot so it made it a great location.

From the site: The fair is located at Chicago Journeymen Plumbers at 1340 West Washington Boulevard.

I guess it is an annual thing and this was the 9th year. Definitely will be checking it out again next year.
