In loving memory of Tom Burgess

Uptown Record Fair is back for its third year with specialty sale items from the Recirculation archives, plus record vendors, vinyl DJs, and more.   Fans of Recirculation already know that when the project first opened, it was stocked to the rafters with not only the thousands of books collected by our late friend and volunteer Tom Burgess–but also by his records. His collection was so vast that even after distributing large donations to music non-profits, per Tom’s wishes, we still had enough left over to maintain a whole music section in the store. Along the way, volunteers have set aside scores of specialty items, which will make up the core of the Recirculation booth at the Uptown Record Fair.

We’re collecting vinyl donations for the fair! Your donation will go towards keeping the lights on at Recirculation. Donations are tax-deductible. Please email open_in_newrecirculation@wordupbooks.com for more information.

But it won’t just be us! We will have several other vendors join us, setting up tables to offer goods across the musical spectrum–jazz, rock, hip-hop, blues, experimental, you name it.

Providing the soundtrack to the day will be vinyl-centric DJs from uptown and beyond, including a special set culled from Tom Burgess’ collection.

This is a fundraiser for Recirculation. A $5-10 suggested donation is encouraged for entry, but not required.
