Rathdowne Records
420 Rathdowne St
Carlton North

Located on the sunny side of Rathdowne street, one of the nicest streets in Carlton I.M.H.O., Records Records is a shop within a shop being located in a back room of a little DVD shop called Small Screen.
Up front is a solid collection of videos including some note worthy titles from directors such as Jarmusch, Spike Lee and a Corbijn, while out the back is 'Rathdowne Records' where you will find a good selection of vinyl records laid out in crates on tables and on the floor.
Jazz was strongly represented and from the look of the albums on the walls a favorite of the owner, there was also a good collection of classic pop, and a nice clutch of punk records and even a token electronic section with some nice old 12"s. Primarily second hand records, but all in good nic and prices were very reasonable ranging from your $5-$10 good quality bargains to your $50 choice picks such as a copy of 'Milo goes to college' by the Descendants.

I ended up picking up Jonny Greenwood's first solo album/OST 'Bodysong' and an old moog album. Over all a great little shop with friendly assistance, lots of character and much to explore.
