The LA edition will continue to raise the bar.”  VinylCon! promises to be a welcome space for music lovers to connect, discover, and celebrate the physical format.  VinylCon! takes place Saturday, August 22nd and Sunday, August 23rd at the California Market Center (CMC) (110 E 9th St, Los Angeles, CA 90079).
