Vinyl Record show to raise money for local humane society

From Punk to Soul, you’ll have lots of vinyl records to choose from.

Some 20,000 records will be displayed to the community at the Army Navy and Airforce Veterans in Canada Unit 261 at Lorne Avenue on Sunday at a vinyl record sale.

Organizer and seller Jim Fewer says along with records, there will be CD’s, 45 rpm’s, and multiple vendors.

“We’re raising money for the Stratford Perth Humane Society,” said Fewer.

“We did it last time and raised about $500 for the Humane Society so we’re hoping to do at least that or better.”

He says the records will mostly range from five to $15, with CDs priced at $5, and five for $20. The rpms cost $1 each.

He adds vinyl has “never really gone away.”

“It’s come back in a big way because there’s something about that big 13-inch jacket that you can take, sometimes you have posters and all sorts of stuff in it,” said Fewer.

“It’s also just the lifting the needle from the turn-table, putting it on the record and listening to that soft sound as it goes through.”

The records include rock, metal, blues, and jazz.

The sale runs this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
