    Successful op & vinyl shopping on Sydney Rd today. Picked up a new vinyl and a couple of bits and pieces for my place. The Salvo’s closest to Moreland Rd was the best I walked into. Savers was in and out, way too many people in there.

      Savers is always so damn busy. I haven’t been to salvos since before 2010 lol! There are soooo many cool op shops and second hand shops around here, it makes paying too much for rent almost bearable.

      I know there’s a new vinyl store downstairs from my place, Black Records or something, I haven’t been in there but if you went there let me know what their selection is like!

      Edit: blacksound records is the name ha

        I walked in that vinyl store, it seemed purely metal / punk focused in selection. I’m not in my metal phase any longer so I didn’t look around for too long haha.

        The best vinyl store on the street (in my opinion) is Round & Round. I used to work almost across the road from it, loved spending lunchtime breaks sifting through their records.

        I also walked past a record store bar that looked cool (Ringo Barr).

          Ah yep okay, I wasn’t sure whether they were genre specific or not, so thank you!

          I’ll pop into Round & Round! I need to find a pressie for my cousin (he has a record player, I do not 😂), are they quite broad? Like 70s/80s/90s?

            Really broad selection, and really well sorted by genre / time period as well. None of this everything crammed in alphabetical order crap, ain’t nobody got time for that!
