Oakland Vinyl Discovery 101: Master the Crates

Whether you have a growing stack of records at home or you are just curious about how to start a collection, come join us for an afternoon of digging and learning in Oakland. This session is designed for anyone who feels a bit intimidated by the sheer volume of crates at a record store. We will cover the basics of what to look for when inspecting used vinyl, how to navigate different genres, and a few tips on how to build a setup that fits your space and budget without breaking the bank.

This is a low-pressure environment meant to bring together people who share an appreciation for physical music. You do not need to be an expert to attend; in fact, the more questions you have, the better. We will spend some time browsing together and chatting about our favorite finds, so bring along any records you have been curious about or just bring your curiosity. If you are interested in joining us, please head over to the event page and add your name to the RSVP list so I have an idea of how many folks to expect.
