Revisit the vinyl era at the Spin Music Fair

The Spin Music Fair will be holding their annual Super Vinyl Sale on Sunday from 10am to 2pm at the Dunkeld Bowls Club in Hume Road, Johannesburg.

There will be hundreds of selected records at drastically reduced prices (R50 and under), as well as new, fully priced reissues, second-hand imports, CDs, cassettes, audio accessories, turntables and more.

If you visit the Clover Records stand, you can check out their amazing selection of rock memorabilia, including collectable action figurines.

If your interest runs into the hardware side of music, talk to Guillaume LeMaire of Croak Audio, who pretty much knows everything about audio equipment.

David Bowie released Ashes to Ashes on vinyl in 1980. Though he was ahead of his time, even he couldn’t have foreseen how prophetic the release was.

If you have the money you can press someone else’s ashes into a vinyl record, at the rate of a teaspoonful per disc. The company providing this service is Andvinyly in England.

Andvinyly’s slogan is “live on from beyond the groove!”
