BEATLES REMASTERED BOX SET $299!

We know, we know. Most of you have listened to The Beatles to near insanity. Everyone has been exposed to the English rock band that completely turned the rock world around. However, the listening experience has never been as complete (literally) as this. Not only that, but the original recordings were used to create this box set.It's packed with art work, photos of the band, as well as a DVD of the mini-documentaries of each album. Of course, a lot of work at Abbey Road studios was put into remastering the tracks.

Our Box Sets are retailing for $299 at the moment and would make an ideal Christmas present for almost anyone. While Stocks last.

SORE-DIARY

Sub-Pop's 7th best selling record. Ever.

Just after we got our pants clean from news of Sunny Day Real Estate's reformation & Australian Soundwave tour, it's back to the laundromat because Sub-Pophas just issued a deluxe remaster of their amazing first Long Player, DIARY. Angst driven emotional hardcore from the best in the biz.

This powerful yet fragile masterpiece is an essential addition to the collection of any fan of Indie-Rock, Hardcore, Post-Rock, Punk, Pop, and just good fuckin music. Reissued on CD & Vinyl with 2 bonus tracks for your listening pleasure, make it yours today.

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE LP2 REISSUE

OK, so the 'White' album by The Beatles is a bona-fide classic. Metallica's 'Black' album is a true metal monster. But, Sunny Day Real Estate's 'Pink' album is the unsung champion of the coloured albums.

Fantastic guitar work, stellar bass and Slint inspired drumming makes the perfect bed for Jeremy Enigk's unusual, yet haunting melodies. Hearing him sing the alphabet would be a pleasure. The two bonus tracks are a must too.

*PLEASE NOTE* IMPORTED CD'S SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Due to unforseen economic crises, our imported stock from America and Europe has been coming back at slightly different prices. Please realise that this is out of our control so prices quoted on orders are approximate, not exact.

78 RECORDS-THE VINYL PUSHERS

After proving it's worth for over 100 years, the trusty old vinyl record is making a comeback into mainstream culture. Hidden away for 15 years, appreciated only by audiophiles and DJ's, good old vinyl is now back on the rise as a new generation retaliates against the evil that is digital recording. All of us here greatly support this resurgence and as such, have drastically increased our vinyl stock and with many more orders on the way. We now stock 2000+ titles on vinyl, with opportunities to order in specific titles for punters. We also stock record player acessories such as Stylus(Needles), Turntable belts, and gramophone needles.

With many new albums being released on vinyl every week, we look to stock as many as possible, with an emphasis on the high quality 180 Gram editions. Many new albums also come with a free CD of the album, or a digital download code to be able to copy the album to your computer or mp3 player. This allows you to enjoy the humble activity of spinning records at home while still being able to listen to all your music while on the move.

A reminder also that we do post any of our stock to almost anywhere if you have difficulty reaching our store.

THE BLUES SECTION FROM HEAVEN

78 Records has always been associated with good blues music. One of the reasons we opened was so that we could import rare blues albums for personal use.

We still carry a huge range of blues music. From the primitive sounds of the 20's, the country blues of the 30's, the early electric sounds of the 40's, the awesome Chess recordings of the 50's through to the twin revivals of country blues and white blues of the 60's. From there the music seemed to go down a myriad of paths, some merging with other musics, all adding to the varied and healthy blues scene we have today.

The pictured CD contains what is arguably the first electric blues release recorded as a complete album, in September 1965. (What were you doing then?) Prior to this, blues albums were simply collections of singles and their B-sides.

This album features Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at their blues peak with incredibly moving playing. A very influential album, it showcases the sparks that fly when Buddy Guy and Junior Wells got together to play their own brand of tight, tough soulful blues music.

To put it simply, "it's a killer".

Remember, if it's blues you want, 78's is where to get it!
