<\/a>\u201cIf you put on an album, you\u2019re at least invested for the full side, and I like that,\u201d he says. \u201cMost artists compile their albums as a listening experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Listening to the full story of the album, says Wugalter, allows appreciation of all the elements that go into it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always loved looking at the artwork, and poring over the lyrics, and anything else that the artists included in their album,\u201d he says. \u201cWith the LPs, of course, the art is so much bigger, so it\u2019s more to get lost in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wugalter says that he enjoys watching the wide array of people who come to Vinyl Supernova, from youngsters clutching lists of classic, must-have albums in their hands to seasoned veterans looking to get their hands on something a little more esoteric.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople who are newer into record collecting are still looking to get all the Beatles albums, or all the David Bowie albums, or all the Neil Young records,\u201d he says. \u201cI usually peruse at each vendor\u2019s table and if something strikes me, I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, that looks interesting,\u2019 and I\u2019ll pick it up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wugalter says that he reserved 25 percent of the tables for new vendors to help ensure a solid turnover from last year so that people can keep picking up new material.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was kind of fearing that the event might get a little bit stale with having the same sellers coming all the time; a lot of the sellers are serious collectors who buy and sell all the time, so they always have new stuff anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n
One face at Vinyl Supernova will look familiar if you\u2019ve strolled the Inner Harbour at some point in your life. If you heard a man playing more instruments than it seems possible for one person to play, there\u2019s a good chance it was the music of Dave Harris filling your ears; Harris is known throughout Victoria as the One Man Band. Originally from Toronto, Harris, who will be selling blues albums at the record fair, says that his passion for vinyl began when he was 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad used to buy classical and folk records down at Sam the Record Man in downtown Toronto,\u201d he says, \u201cand that\u2019s how it started for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harris says that vinyl sales are rising because of \u201csome backlash to the low quality of MP3s.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something to be said for having a nice piece of physical vinyl in your hand,\u201d he says, although he says that \u201cthe resurgence is still pretty small, comparatively.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harris\u2014whose personal collection of records numbers over 10,000\u2014says that he loves the feeling in the crowd at Vinyl Supernova and adds that the Fernwood Community Centre has a really great atmosphere in it when the fair is happening.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwice a year, we all get together, and it\u2019s kind of like a bit of a party in a way,\u201d he says. \u201cThe camaraderie is really good; there\u2019s a nice feeling in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

It might seem hard to believe, but there is a demographic of people who don\u2019t open MP3 files to listen to music. Instead, they prefer to listen to tunes the old-fashioned, tangible way: on vinyl.
