Missing Link and Collector's Corner
Level 1, 387 Bourke St
Melbourne, VIC, 3000
Australia
Missing link was one of my favourite record stores back in the day; however it has since moved from it's original subterranean home to an upstairs location close by, it has also merged with Collector's Corner which was previously located on Swanston St. Although the merger was most probably a matter of mutual viability I feel the Collector's Corner' selection has slightly diminished the metal purity that was Missing Link 1.0.
That said and despite the hybridisation there is still a solid collection of vinyl on offer, so don't be put off.

On the Missing link side there were still significant portions of vinyl devoted genres such as punk, metal and sludge, these are then lovingly broken down into subsets such as industrial, gothic, noise, doom plus much more. While the Collectors Corner collection is weighted toward pop-rock with a contemporary Aussie independent focus.
All in all still a damned fine independent record shopping experience, just requiring a bit of work on its ambiance.
