September, begorrah!!!

Crikey, Spring well under way already, and loathe as I am to even invoke it, Christmas is now actually not that far away! Fortunately, there has been a whole rash of spectacular new releases recently flooding our shelves, which you may wish to consider as gifts for your music-mad friends and whanau. Some of our favourites have been; -Wilco "The Whole Love" - terrific new long player from one of our favourite US bands - a little wazzy, but some great stuff once you plunge into it - vinyl should be here soon! -Nirvana "Nevermind" - hard to believe it it twenty years since Cobain and co basically ended the concept of 'alternative rock', but it is, so the best way to deal with the inevitability of the aging process, and the passing of youth might just be to plunge into the deluxe reissue, featuring all manner of outtakes and demos. We even have the 4LP vinyl version (which is cheaper than you might imagine), and glorious, just glorious. -Pink Floyd Reissues - finally, the body of work of one of the UK's most enduring bands has been given the heavy duty remastered reissue treatment. You can buy the albums individually, or as a comprehensive 14 disc box set, and there is also heavyweight collectable vinyl of the classic "Dark Side Of The Moon" -new albums from beloved old-timers JD Souther, John Hiatt and Nick Lowe, plus new sets from local faves Whiramako Black, Jess Chambers and The Drab Doo Riffs (also on 10" vinyl!) So, come pay us a visit, or drop us a line - you owe it to yourself...
