I arrived in Brussels this Saturday for a two-weeks holiday.  On Sunday morning I went for a stroll , heading for the Vieux Marché (Flea Market) when I noticed a small poster on a lamppost for a "Vynil Record Fair", it wasn't far from where I was, perhaps 15 minutes walk so I went straight to Galerie Ravenstein and spent a couple of hours browsing thru' loads of vynils.

What a bliss!

There were sellers from Belgium, Holland, France and Germany, a great selection of records and excellent prices.

There was a good selection of EuroJazz (the demand is there so prices are on the way up but there are still bargain to be made)

No need to tell you that I walked back home with  a bagfull of LPs!

Two LP by the United Jazz Rock Ensemble - 10€
/ Big Nick Nicholas  (India Navigation - 2 €)/
Bobby Bryant - Big Band Blues (2€)

Here are pictures of some of the LP I bought.  Some may already be available in the blogsphere, the others I'll post in the coming months (provided that they are not re-issued on CD).
