Self proclaimed C.D. specialists but still showing up in the Diggin Melbourne 'record lovers' tour guide, not sure why though because only a token show is on offer.
There is a very small collection of new jazz (the shops speciality) vinyls and a slightly larger collection of generic new or re-issued pop/rock albums. Nothing to write home about.
I did pick up a 20th anniversary remastered copy of Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing in the Name' album (20 years, far out, still sounds awesome though), and I was turned onto The Monk's who I haven't had the pleasure of listening to before. This for me is one of the greatest things about visiting record stores, talking to people, chance encounters with new or forgotten albums and being blown away by artists you never new existed. 
I also found a back issue of Wire's Feb issue with non other than Oneohtrix Point Never on the cover, who I saw playing at The Toff last month. This was an awesome show demonstrating just how far electronic music can push the envelope and still be 'music'. Plus I was switched onto Wooshie, a local electronic act who put out some great sounds (check out their bandcamp).
