Re: [powderworks] Melbourne & Sydney CD shops

IN Melbourne, pure pop records barkly st , st kilda. they have free live music in their courtyard too. also north side records in Gertrude st collingwood and the fitzroy dixons recycled records on Brunswick st is a ripper.
alas au go go and Batman are no more. missing link is still kicking somewhere in the city. basement disks and off the hip records in the city are winners too. polyester records in brunswick st I think is still going.
