So Music on King Street in Newtown is the ideal cd shop for the alternative music connoisseur, they…read morehave a strong focus on indie music and Australian music, with a large Australian music section right at the front of the store (which is nice to see). What is most unique is they offer one of the best collections of classical and contemporary classical music which I have found in Sydney (if you love the scary screamer Diamanda Galas) as much as I do check them out). They also have an extensive collection of World music and Soundtrack CDs. Also they have a small cabinet of collectible box sets which are really quite rare editions. So is definitely worth a look if you need that rare cd you cannot find anywhere else.

The range is surprisingly broad with many a different genre is displayed in the small room ahead. Classical, Soundtrack, Pop, Alternative. They even have a comedy section, though it's too small to find by myself and the lady helps me to track it down. The cork board up the back with recent reviews about CD's that the shop holds in stock is useful and could work as a great sales technique for some. A few DVD's greet you as you enter and those same DVD's wave good-bye as you leave. A friendly hello and farewell by circumstance only. The shop has a vast range for the size that it is and while they may not be as cheap as a major retailer, I think the prices will surprise you.

The small record store was full with people digging the crates lining the walls of the store and I managed to get in easily to the bargain bin at the front that I thought was a little bit overpriced for a bargain bin, with prices starting from $10. That being said, there prices were soon justified as I found most of the items were good, hard to come by finds and some that blew me away, like "Juicy" by Wrecks'N'Effect. I never knew that Mtume's Juicy had also been sampled by them, I thought it was only Biggie, but then after google-ing later that day, I was soon to find out that a whole heap of artists had actually sampled this track. Thanks record store for opening my eyes to another sample off a golden classic.

Red Eye's range is nothing like it once was and I honestly don't know how a shop like this stays in business anymore as all the current CDs can be found cheaper in other shops and the collectables can be found cheaper on the internet. Oh well maybe there are a few people without a phone connection and they have no other option.

Especially good, unsurprisingly, with Australian music. I was able to pick up a couple of albums I couldn't find elsewhere here. And they were happy to search their database for the one I couldn't (turns out it doesn't exist, so fair enough). They've got a mailing list that comprehensively details every new release they add each week. Real music lives here.

Do you like CD's? Music? Records? Books about CD's, music and records? If you answered yes to any…read moreof these questions you probably like musical CD's about records too. The Vintage Record Shop on Parramatta Road is a small and interesting shop with a large range of second hand CD's, Vinyl and books on the subject. The interior is possessed of dim lighting and a welcoming vibe, as though it's a shop which wants your patronage. There are piles and shelves full of stock for perusing, either for interest or purchase, though I'm sure they'd prefer purchase, but sometimes it's nice, just to look at the artefacts of history and their colourful shiny cases. There's often some intriguing finds made here, perhaps not as intriguing as finding a dinosaur fossil in the desert when you were sure that there were no dinosaurs at Kernel sand tunes, but still intriguing all the same, and much more likely. So whether you're an archaeologist who likes music, or a musician arcs his oligist (That intentionally made no sense. I apologise whole heartedly.) then there is some quality time lying just around the corner for you, should you wander into the Vintage Record.

The store's great, got a great feel to the place when you step in, and has a good selection of funk and jazz records along with alot of other genres too, including an Australian section. The $1 and $5 bins had some goodies in there too, which I always like to dig through, A Quincy Jones album, 'the dude' and George Duke's and Stanley Clarke's, 'the Clarke/Duke project' were my gems of the day. There were also some cool turntables about the place, old memorabilia on sale and the best thing ever was the boombox that could play vinyl! Unfortunately the record player didn't work and it wasn't on sale, but that's still the coolest thing that I saw that week! The owner Phil, who also served me was real nice, definitely a big plus in my books. When you go to a store and the owner's are actually kind and friendly people, that makes me want to go back to the place and support local!

Overall the shop had good ambiance with guitar music streaming through the airwaves and lighting was good - not too dim but nice soft light to see the guitar under natural light. Would have deserved a four star had our sales been handled more professionally. One blemish of our experience was the pushy sales tactic employed. One staff was quite pushy in that he starts jeering when we wanted to try the lower end models and kept asking about my job (trying to work out my wage to see what I can afford). Some models are not tuned properly to make them sound pretty bad relative to the more expensive ones.
