It’s taken me a while to post these up (sorry!) but I came across this busy record fair\u00a0in the East River State Park (90 Kent Ave. at North 7th St) when I was wandering around\u00a0Williamsburg\u00a0in\u00a0May 2014.<\/p>\n

I kinda feared that a vinyl record fair in Wiliamsburg might have proved an irresistible hipster-magnet, but thankfully there was a fairly mixed crowd in attendance, with relatively few ironic moustaches and pioneering beards nuzzling up to the vinyl.<\/p>\n

There was, however, some great vinyl on offer – including stalls from Rough Trade, Domino, Warp and DFA – with the only jarring note being\u00a0the heavy event branding by Red Bull, who had also installed some DJs in the park.<\/p>\n

Sharp eyed readers should be able to pick out a fairly battered copy of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle’ from 1973.<\/p>\n

The park was very busy indeed.<\/p>\n

You don’t have to look far to see the impact of gentrification in Williamsburg<\/a>. All those shiny luxury condos towering in the distance weren’t there a decade ago.<\/p>\n
