I’m gonna be in Melbourne for a few days visiting my wives family etc- hopefully I can sneak off and visit one of the 80?!? (According to vinylhub on Discogs) plus record shops
So where’s good for the disco/left field/Balearic/ ambient record fan? Hoping Japanese stuff is cheaper here in aus than the uk!
Would suggest Natural Selection and Skydiver also woth checking out. All of above are in Fitzroy/ Collingwood neighbourhoods. Good mate lives there and I’ve done a bit of research in anticipation of a visit which has been discussed for years but shows no sign of materialising. Enjoy.
One thing I did notice is that the local scene is super fertile and there’s a lot in the shops that doesn’t seem to leave the area. Imports cost a fortune as well.
Thanks for the tips guys. Here’s my little haul- got some decent Aussie stuff- hot weather 30c+ (sorry England) meant slower bpms! Found a great shop in Hawthorne where we were staying called alley records and then north side, plug seven and hub301
Soo many stores but good to get a tiny sense of what a strong music scene across many genres there is in Auss atm
Next stop Adelaide where there is the one and only transition records! Make life abit easy
