When and how did you develop an interest in vinyl?

I have been interested in vinyl since I started buying 45′s in the late 60′s. My sister was 8 years older than me and a huge Beatles and Motown fan.

What kind of genre(s) of music will you sell at the record fair?

It will be a mix of 45s and LPs and a combination of R & B, Soul, Rockabilly, Pop and Rock and Roll.

What kind of vinyl do you have?

I mostly collect vinyl (45′s, EPS and LPS from 1955-1963)

Dan Sostrom of ToneVendor specializes in indie, jazz and experimental and while he stocks all formats, he’s bringing vinyl only to Savannah. Sostrom can track his transformation into a “music nut” to a specific moment. “The real defining moment for me was when an 8th grade classmate turned me on to Mad Professor Mike’s Coll Punk Rock Show in 1988 or so,” he said. “My musical world was turned upside down.”

Brian Poust’s interest in records caused him to go hungry. “Around age 14, I began pocketing my lunch money for school and going down to Quicksilver Records in Greenville, NC, to blow it on cool looking used records” he said. At first he said he picked records based on song titles or cover art, “rather than any real knowledge of music.” Still, he said, it led to his introduction to punk, ska, jazz and soul music.

He learned more from listening to East Carolina University’s WZMB and in college he worked at WUSC at the University of South Carolina. “By the time I moved to Atlanta I was hooked on Soul 45s and began researching them further,” he said, “which led to creating GeorgiaSoul, a repository for documenting the Soul music history of Georgia.”

Brian’s bringing soul, funk, jazz, gospel and rock LPs and 45s, with “various oddball records thrown into the mix,” he said.
