The Chicago Independent Radio Project is working to secure a broadcast license for a new community radio station in Chicago that is committed to local, independent programming, and generally furthering the causes of localism, diversity, and independence in broadcasting. We are working to convince Congress and the FCC to remove existing barriers to the granting of low power FM radio licenses in urban areas, including Chicago. We hope you'll join the fight.

Finds at the Record Fair vol. 1

Posted by Dustin D. on April 16, 2008 around 10am

The 7th annual Record Fair and Other Delights was a resounding success!
We had record attendance and I heard from many dealers that they had some of their best single day sales.

Although it took me a bit to get my record players back up and running (after lending them for use by our many fine performers over the weekend) I finally got a chance to sit down and look at what I managed to find over the two days of record collector bliss.
Of course i’m still sorting through and listening to everything, but here’s what I ended up buying:

Novelty LP’s (Halloween, Christmas, Oddity)
