Melbourne Record shops - Collectors Corner and Off the Hip

December 29th 2006 07:34
Just a quick recommendation for record shops in Melbourne. Both are in the inner city.

The first is called Collectors' Corner. It has both CDs and records covering general genres, but I like it for its' soul and reggae sections. They have a number of good reggae LPs from sixties stuff to more contemporary sounds. A lot are reissues, but good sounds nonetheless. Their 45 section is pretty good too. Not a heap of stuff, but a good amount and they have a just arrived section for you Melbourne regulars.

The second shop has no reggae, but it if you like sixties garage, whether it be from the sixties or a contemporary version, then check out this shop. It is a really good space, which includes a back room where they have bands play every so often. Much respect to that.


I was in both today and made purchases - I'm proud to say I didn't indulge though, I only bought presents for other people.

Melbourne is a fine town and treating me well. Until tomorrow.

Did you manage to catch the Prince Buster record's Collectors corner had? They were all done by Prince Buster Record Shack. The records all looked really independantly done. I know nothing about that label. But they all had prince buster record shack stamps on them which were really cool. Made from 127 Orange Street, Kingston. If you know anything about that label i'd be very interested in it. Anyway I might see you tomorrow night if not I'll catch you at The Hop.
