new shop for Australian proggers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Are there any Australian folks hanging around in here? Or more specifically, Melbourne folks? I've lived in that vicinity for a long time now and have always found it hard to find any decent local supply of progressive and psychedelic CD's for sale, ordering most of my stuff from other countries. However for a few months there's been a new music shop in Melbourne that has a large and really good selection of prog/psych stuff, a sight for sore eyes in this part of the world. So I thought Melbourne folks might appreciate knowing about it, because it's not too obvious from the street, and as they're just starting out I'd like to make sure they don't disappear too quickly by spreading the word to prog lovers.

	HEY MR TOENAIL!! I AM IN ADELAIDE(HOORAY FOR PORT ADELAIDE!!AFL PREMIERS!!!) NOW, THATS OUT OF THE WAY..... PROG FROM OVERSEAS IS FAIRLY READILY AVAILABLE BUT AUSTRALIAN PROG...THATS ANOTHER STORY I HAVE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE BUT I TRIED TO GET CDS OF EARLY 70,S AUSTRALIAN PROG/PSYCHADELIC BANDS SUCH AS KING HARVEST,TAMMAM SHUD,KAVEST JUTE,ETC BUT WAS TOLD THAT NO CD,S OR ANY NEW PRESSINGS OF THE WORKS OF THESE BANDS HAVE BEEN RELEASED IN OVER 30 YEARS,THIS IS SAD AS A PART OF AUSTRALIAN ROCK(PROG) HISTORY IS BEING NEGLECTED. I DO HAVE TAMMAM SHUDS "GOOGLIAMITES AND THE REAL PEOPLE" ON CASSETTE BUT THE RECORDING IS OLD AND TAPE QUALITY IS POOR AFTER SO MANY YEARS. SUCH IS THE SMALL POPULATION OF OUR COUNTRY THAT A MINOR ROCK GENRE SUCH AS PROG ROCK IS FINANCIALY UNPRODUCTIVE..... BUT I DO HAVE "GOLDEN MILES" BY HEALING FORCE.......SIGH!!!! Edited by dude
