Saturday, May 24: The Olympia Record Show

The Olympia Elks Lodge

By Jose Gutierrez Jr., M.Ed. on May 22, 2014

A bevy of vinylists will descend upon The O to dig through the crates and study album covers, remixes and the oh-so-sought-after UK 12-inch Mix - you know the one, with the 2:27 length intro using sounds that never made it into the original track. With dealers and buyers from all around - 40-plus last November - you never know what you are going to get. The Olympia Record Show is a bargain hunter's heaven, a record show full of classics. Sure, there's some trash, but one person's trash is ... you know the rest. Where are the REAL DJs and musicologists? You'll find a few at this record show.

THE OLYMPIA RECORD SHOW, 5-9 p.m., all ages, bar w/ID, The Olympia Elks Lodge, 1818 E. Fourth Ave., Olympia, $3, $10 to get in at 4 p.m.
