Show off your vinyl! Music brings people together, if not on the dance floor, then here at Vinilmania. Three times a year, people from all over the world flock here to trade in the coveted black plastic medium. The '85 hit for the '87 chart-topper, the original golden oldie for the rare one-off pressing – At this exhibition, it all revolves around the vinyl record. Limited editions or bestsellers are not the drawcard of the show, but rather the search for that beloved release and first-person contact with original covers.

Collectors here don't just offer Vinyl: avid music fans will find books, CD's and sought-after memorabilia. There are press conferences, presentations and concerts that accompany the trading floor. It's a bit like a Sci-Fi convention, but it's all about the disco here, rather than Darth Vader. The community here is truly commited to 'real' music, so if Britney Spears is your ultimate artist, then maybe you should visit a Virgin store instead.
