We're Back!

Well hello there! And Welcome back!!

Its certainly been a while. We've been open a week now and what can we say but thank you so much to all our customers for making it a really great week. Everyone was super friendly and we were nice and busy but it still felt safe. 

We started the week by putting out some stuff we processed over the lockdown period from home (all 45s). So a load of great 60s, Psych, Punk, Indie Rock, Reggae, Ska and Post Punk 45s went out. Including a large amount from the big Oz/Nz collection we bought. This included some really rare Pink Floyd, Ruperts People, Jimi Hendrix, Sham 69, The Only Ones, The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Rolling Stones (and many more) Oz / Nz pressings.
