Diggin’ Melbourne – Taking the vinyl to the people
This project launched in 2010. The current third edition of the Diggin’ Melbourne Tour Guide is a thorough (but not definitive) listing of all specialist vinyl stockists in Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. We’ve done all the hard work in compiling as many stores as possible – now it’s time to get your hands dirty!
The concept is the brainchild of Chris Gill (Northside Records) and Tim Bartold (Wax Museum). The current 2012 Edition has been developed by Chris Gill and Greg Foster (Rex/Blisterfinger) and printed with the assistance of Madman Printing.
If you are a store owner and you missed out on this edition, please feel free to contact us at digmelbourne@gmail.com We’d love to have you included in any future editions or updates.

FAQ No.1 – “Do they still make records?”
Yes – they still make records, they still make turntables, and yes – new bands are still putting out records. To some people the idea of putting out this kind of map may seem a little pointless. But if you’re reading this you know the score. Vinyl will never die. If you’re a record store owner, you are of course familiar with the Number 1 FAQ at every record store in the world!

great work guys on the guide – used it last weekend in Melb city. Nice one!
Great work guys! Looks like another Melbourne trip is in order!
really good work here, just migrated over from Manchester UK and I was worried that it’d be all mail order but looks like there’s some sifting to be done here. Can anyone tell me where I’d be looking for record fairs?
Hi Guys,
What an amazing guide – well done. Not sure if this is the right place for it but a friend and I have started an online store selling restored Retro and Vintage HIFI equipment. (Turntables / amplifiers / speakers etc) We would love to support the site somehow so if you could get in touch with please let us know.

You Guys are AWESOME! Thank you for putting all of this together. I just downloaded the 2012 and started salivating as I scrolled through it. Looks like I’ll have to top up my myki and do some diggin’.
Most excellent guide guys. Bought a shed-load of albums and had to buy an extra bag before heading back to Auckland. Thanks to Chris Gill at Northside for some great reccomendations……..and for making this Guide book available. Can’t wait for my next trip!
