World Record Store Day 2015

Mojo Record Bar Sydney

Special 45RPM release for Record Store Day here at Mojo Record Bar

And the 33RPM are a plenty too....

It looks like an eternity since the last Record Day Store, but this year I was determined to go and visit a few stores in the Sydney CBD and report back to you. There was definitely a buzz in the three stores I visited, and a big queue in front of Red Eye Records. Fish Records in our beautiful Queen Victoria Building (QVB pour les intimes...) was busier than normal, although not much vinyl there, but still some animation with a singer - Alicia Crossley - and a group of baroque musicians playing some Swedish music from the 16th century - The Marais Project. Unfortunately, my duties a the designated family cook prevented me to stay and listen to them. I will have to buy their CDs another day. Our friend Elodie Sablier was virtually present with her two albums, but is away from our shores at the moment going on to new adventures and hopefully a third album sooner than later...

Queuing for the Record Store Day releases at Red Eye Records

The youngest visitors - both admitting to using their Dad's turntable - sounds familiar?

And yes, you can listen before you buy on a real turntable...

And what about a portable REGA turntable? All your for A$1299!

Amazed at the diversity of people interested in vinyl....

I bought myself a fresh copy of Depeche Mode, on the recommendation of virtual friend and DJ extraordinaire Charlie Puzzo

And across the road at the QVB...

It is confirmed: It is Record Store Day even at Classical CD specialist Fish Records - And look who is in the window?

And is she is inside as well, next to the two performers today....

HAPPY WORLD RECORD STORE DAY TO ALL OF YOU!
