The special guest vendor is Steve Braunias, respected journalist, and author of Cover Story: 100 Beautiful, Strange and Frankly Incredible New Zealand LP Covers. Remarkably, Braunias will be selling some of the records he bought while researching the book, so this is a unique chance to get your hands on some rarities. .
The fair is organised by Taranaki music legend Brian Wafer, who describes it as A Record Love Convention.
The Auckland Record Fair vendors are congregating from the Far North, Bay Of Plenty, Waikato, Taranaki, and of course Tāmaki Makaurau, bringing all sorts of sounds on all sorts of formats: 12 inch, 10 inch, 7 inch, CD and cassette. Some, but not all, vendors will have EFTPOS, so do bring some cash.
