The Music's Best Record StoreAustralian Record Store Guide
The Music has been going behind the scenes with Australia’s greatest record stores, getting to know the humans, challenges and joys behind the counter. Record stores are at the front line of music— the recommenders of great tunes and the supporters of local musicians and communities.
