Record lovers and collectors are sure to find sounds they enjoy at a record fair in Ngongotaha.
The Rotorua Record Fair at the Ngongotaha Hall on Sunday offers early bird bargain hunters the chance to hunt through thousands of vinyl records in the first hours.
Fair organiser Brian Wafer, of New Plymouth,said every record lover would find something of interest with records from the '50s rock 'n' roll to '60s and '70s progressive rock available.
Or maybe it's that 1970s or 1980s new wave to soul or a bit of funk, dance, folk, jazz, classical blues music you like.
People were sure to find what they were looking for while rummaging through the hundreds of boxes of 78s, 75s and 45s vinyls.
At least five stall holders will be selling records.
"I'm sure there will be something for everyone - maybe that elusive record you have been looking for or just something from the past - it's all going to be here," he said.
There will be everything on offer, from Nana Mouskouri to classical or rock records. He even has Greatest Hits records dating back to the 1970s.
Vinyl records were still popular among many music lovers.
"There is a real culture," he said. "Some people love them others don't give a damn about them. I really love records and the music on them.
"They sound so much better than CDs. There is still a warmth for them. It's just about personal taste."
The Rotorua Record Fair will be held in the Ngongotaha Community Hall on School Rd on Sunday. Doors open for early bird bargain hunters at 9am for one hour with an entry fee of $10. Between 10am and 2pm entry is $2.
