Thanks to everyone who was involved with the 2010 Map and launch. The project has been well received, and the map has become a valuable tool for the passionate record collectors of Melbourne.
‘DIGGIN’ MELBOURNE’ A Tour Guide For Vinyl Record Lovers
2010 Edition. What’s is this map thing?
Everyone knows that vinyl is still king. It sounds better, feels good and looks great. The classic collectable for music lovers.
As a part of World Record Store Day 2010, Melbourne’s vinyl record stores have come together to present ‘DIGGIN MELBOURNE’, a map of all the local haunts for todays vinyl fiends.
Spanning the entire city from the CBD to the outer suburbs, there’s still over 30 stores in Melbourne who supply fresh wax and secondhand gems to record collectors and sample diggers. Digital music may be the way of the future, but there’s no denying that the vinyl format reigns supreme.
To celebrate the release and World Record Store Day, Section 8 hosts a free launch party on Saturday April 17 featuring DJs from many of the stores spinning an eclectic mix all afternoon and into the night. So come along, enjoy the music, grab a drink (or two) and a copy of the map. There’s treasure out there waiting for you!

Hi
Congrats on a great list. I made a list which can be downloaded from the StereoNet forums. Haven’t had a good look yet but I think there may be one or two on my list you have missed, you also got a couple I haven’t been to so I’ll have to visit them now. You certainly list all the good ones I know of.
Let’s keep the vinyl revolution going and watch the end of CDs while we listen to records!

Just a quick note regarding any stores that are not listed. Everyone has been invited, however some stores have declined the opportunity to be involved with the Diggin’ Melbourne initiative.
Wonderful!
Great Idea! I FB’d it so if any all my Vinyl loving friends are over, or need some sounds, they know where to go!
nice initiative!
just a heads up though, dixons in prahran has shut down.
