The listening lounge
Settle into the listening lounge, take your time with a record, and hear a whole side before deciding what to take home.
In the bins
How the shop is laid out, how the second-hand stock gets graded, and what else happens at 132 Jellicoe Street once the records are back in the racks.
How the bins work
New pressings live up front, sealed and priced as they arrive. Behind them, the second-hand bins. Every one of those records has been through the same routine before it reaches you: cleaned, played or spot checked, graded honestly, then priced and filed.
It took months of that work before the doors opened in 2024, and it has not stopped since. Stock turns over constantly, which is the point. Two visits a fortnight apart are two different shops.
If you are chasing something specific, tell us. We keep a running list of what people are after and a lot of it turns up eventually.

Around the shop
The room does a few jobs. Coffee in the morning, browsing all day, and a listening setup that means you are not gambling on a sleeve you like the look of.
01
Settle into the listening lounge, take your time with a record, and hear a whole side before deciding what to take home.
02
We open at 8:30am on weekdays, which is before most people want to think about records. Get a coffee, sit down, work your way in.
03
New Zealand and independent releases get their own space, not a token corner. Dunedin pressings, Bay of Plenty bands, CDs dropped in by the people who made them.
04
Plenty of albums never made it onto vinyl, or only did once at a price nobody wants to pay. That is what the CD wall is for.
05
Reissues and new pressings come in weekly. Our Instagram is the quickest way to see what has just landed before it walks out the door.
06
The room gets used for more than selling records, including community nights and clothing swaps run with Envirohub Bay of Plenty. Watch our socials for dates.
