Just got back from uni holz to find out that there's no longer a central station in Rundle mall! Anyway, I went along to the new place on the corner of Hindley and King William and it's was sooo small and had such a poor choon range that I almost cried. Anyone know where I can go now?

Why don't yu start a record shop in Adelaide?

Dowlz, i am the only other guy here from Adelaide, and i dont DJ, so i'm not much help. Dance Arena i thought was the best for providing 12", have seen a few good ones there this year. Centrals hardly ever had anything decent IMO. Whats this new on thats opened up???

Also, what uni do u go to??

I'm not quite certain what the new place is called. Something like 738 Records. Anyway, as I said, it's on the corner of King William and Hindley, but it's really dodgey. They seriously have 12 trance vinyls! And the shop's the size of a shoebox. Dance arena has a pretty small vinyl section, quite a number of white labels actually. I gave them a list of vinyls yesterday to see if they could import them, so I'll see how they go.

Oh, I got to Uni Adelaide.

With dance arena can you pretty much give them a list of vinyls and theyll import them for you for about $20 each? Thats pretty good if you can do that. The best ever record store i've been to was Centrals in Melbourne. A great selection. Are there any better places in Melb??

OK, maybe 618 records (that's the correct number I think) doesn't suck that much. I picked up Ralphie B - Massive from them today. Also, this evening I went over to the new record store on Rundle Street (Mid-Town records) and they have quite a small collection, but still larger than anything at 618 or dance arena. Picked up Energy 52 - Cafe del mar (original/Three 'n' one mix). Plus, they import, which is cool, so I've ordered Armin - Communication and the great thing is that no matter what the record is, it's still only $20 :-)

Also, I tried dance arena for imports, and they're pretty decent. Had about 3/4 of the stuff I wanted, including Three Drives - Greece 2000 (Lost Tribe vs Miro vocal mix) - I was pretty impressed that they could get this mix. Sanity charge $20 a pop.

Anyway, does anyone know any other record stores in Adelaide?

Noooooooooooo!!!

Dammit, thats where I got most of mah records from. True, they didnt have much trance and stuff, but my budget was hardly ever big enough to buy heaps.

Grr, this sucks, Dance Arena are poo!

I always thought it was busy there! Business shoulda been good etc. Isnt there another store down at marion??

I had a look in the yellow pages - is that store "In 2 Music"?? And yeah, it would be good to meet up with some TA's. We should go along to Chemistry one night and perhaps meet up for the Corsten gig too.

So hang on, i'm getting confused, the decent record store in Adelaide are:

- Dance Arena
- The new one on hindly street (near rundle mall)
- and ?????

Where is that other one youre talking about?? 618 or something?? And hi gumble... if you count yourself as someone from Adelaide then thats 3 of us on here now. Perth and Melbourne rule this forum. *sigh*

Hmm, In 2 music, if im thinking right, is an evil commercial cd franchise, so dont go there :P

There is another record store that advertises in onion, but i cant remember whats its called.

Happy hunting though, i want to come and get some more tunes though, so any names of places would be greatly appreciated!!!

To the best of my knowledge, there are three record stores in Adelaide. The best range for trance, even though it is pretty small is at Dance Arena and you should know where that is (corner of Rundle Mall and Pultney). Next best is this new store (about a month old) above Rundle St - I think it's 180 Rundle St (is it called 'The Verandah'?). The other place is called 618 records and is near the corner of Hindley and King William (opposite where the old pizza hut was).

Hope that helps your out mr_stamper :-) and yes, I wish there were more people from Adelaide on this board :-(

Finally there's this really cool place called www.juno.co.uk :-) I was incredibly happy with them. I ordered 4 vinyls about 12 days ago and they arrived today - all were in absolutely perfect condition (never been played) and two of them (Binary Finary - 1998, Rank 1 - Airwave) were shrinkwrapped. Only trouble with them is shipping - 6pound for the first, 2pound thereafter.

Thanks for clearing that up dowlz. Sounds like youve got quite a collection now dowlz, especially with some of those recent purchases youve mentioned. Could you share your list of vinyls??

Also, how much did it end up costing in AUD for the 4 vinyls from Juno??
