What have you got planned in store for Record Store Day 2017? Both stores are open from 8.30am to 5.50pm. There will be loads of RSD exclusive releases as always. Stacks of great used vinyl will be hitting the racks, and customers get a free Goldmine tote bag with all $100+ purchases. 25c from every record sold will be donated to Maneki Neko Cat Rescue. Plus we’ll be collecting further donations for Maneki Neko Cat Rescue – if we reach $500 Ben will cut his dreads off which he’s had for 20 years.
What is your all time favourite record? Very difficult question, maybe Pixies Doolittle or Neurosis A Sun That Never Sets or Skinny Puppy Last Rights or Fields Of The Nephilim Elizium.
What sets your store apart or is a point of difference, in contrast to other stores? People often say we’re too cheap, which I take as a compliment. We have an awesome store dog, who gives away free licks and crotch sniffs. We can flatten most warped records. We stock a wide range of music covering almost all genres. Plus we have friendly, helpful staff…well, most of the time, except when hungover or asked ridiculous questions like “Can you get this Metallica LP signed for me?”
Is there something you are looking forward to in particular this Record Store Day? Just the usual, having a fun day with great customers. I am particularly not looking forward to having my hair cut.
