DIGGIN MELBOURNE RECORD STORE MAP - its a vinyl lovers tourguide. Naarm has more record stores per capita than anywhere else in the world, so to help you find them all there is a map, again.
Celebrating the 13th edition of this great map of independent record stores, it features the graphic artistry of @mista.rex himself a DJ and a deep digger.
Join us as all the stores gather to launch this MAP down at @oldplatesrecordbar this Saturday at 3-6pm. Where we will eat cheezles and dance to DJs from other local record stores. There will be prizes like this SOUNDBURGER TURNTABLE from our friends at @audiotechnicaau and more to be unveiled at the launch.
