Stay Tuned - Stay Radical

Jane Brownrigg was an activist, community broadcaster/volunteer, passionate music lover and supporter and a great friend. Her 3CR program Music Matters was conceived at Record Paradise over 10 years ago and Jane continued her support for the store and the many artists who have launched records over the years, culminating with her wish to sell her vast CD collection through RP – we offered to donate 100% of the money raised to local Melbourne community radio stations 3CR, Triple R and PBS. Jane’s wonderful CDs are available instore until Sunday 21st July.

Record Paradise – update

We are so excited to have moved our record store and salon to the amazing shop at 159 Sydney Rd, Brunswick and can’t wait to share it with you all! Record Paradise and Paradise Cutters will be closed until the lockdown ends. Please stay safe and listen to records!

Digging Japan

Our second trip to Tokyo record stores proved very rewarding with some reasonably priced recycled gems in amazing condition hitting the crates today!

We thought we would share a few digs and tips for storing, carrying and transporting records. We travelled to Narita airport via Jetstar, taking two empty DJ travel cases with us and booking the maximum 40kgs luggage per person for the return trip, this with ‘special’ records carried on board allowed us the bring around 250 records back into Australia. TIP: make sure any travel bags can fit into the train station lockers which have a maximum storage time of 3 days. We used ‘Vinyl Hub’ to locate specific stores near where we were. The records are priced much the same as you would find them locally – but the selection is unbelievable and the condition is always ‘excellent’! Happy digging!
