EVENTS IN THE MIX... Relics RSD 2015

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Irene Hundleby

EVENTS IN THE MIX...

RELICS RECORD STORE DAY

Saturday 18 April ~ 2015

RECORD STORE DAY is quite simply - a day of celebration! The third Saturday of April, independently owned record stores from all over the world celebrate the culture of vinyl, sharing music and the love of music. After all, all those that start independent record stores are in it because they love it.

If you ask Dave, he has spent most of his life thinking everyday is record store day... and it took him a while to come round to the idea of celebrating record store culture on a specific day - but as we nearly lost independent record stores for a time there, we both know - and maybe you agree - that record store culture is actually something worth celebrating! 

Last year we had such a great time with all our awesome customers, and the release of Dunedin's Independent Records EP... (if you haven't seen the footage you can check it out here) ... and we decided that we would definitely be celebrating again this year!!

On RSD, many artists - international and local - choose to release albums, items of special interest and re-release albums out of print. Some people aren't so in to this. Quite frankly, we just look forward to more good music!! This year the list is quite something. 

Tons of vinyl goodies have been ordered in - most are pretty limited editions!

However, we won't know exactly what we have been lucky enough to get until the day before! 

RSD releases will be available ONLY IN STORE - so come in and have some fun! - At the close of business on Sat 18 April, we will list items still in stock on our website.

To be fair to everyone - first in first served - sorry no holds ...

More info will be posted here as it comes to hand ... 

Or on our RELICS MUSIC DUNEDIN facebook page

Doors will open at 9am sharp.

Choice one.

TOP 10 CD ALBUMS ~ 2014

Posted on January 02, 2015 by Irene Hundleby

Here were our TOP 10 CD ALBUMS for 2014!!
Two of our top selling CDs were albums launched at Relics in 2014... thanks HEAPS for hanging out with them and us, and for showing these fab Dunedin / NZ musicians how much you love them !!

 

As with vinyl, we special ordered in a BIG number of CDs for RELICS customers, and it seems by the numbers of orders we took, that this is a service our customers particularly enjoy!! We will do our best to help you find more spectacular music wonders throughout 2015!

 

Again, it is really just AMAZING how many NZ musicians make our top selling 10 CD albums! Perhaps this has a little to do with us being an indie store, but aside from that, an incredible number of GREAT NZ albums were released this year over many different genres...
Here we go...

 

     
IR 77 - Various Artists: Independent Records Sampler CD

 

         
JACK WHITE - Lazaretto CD

 

          
ANTHONY RITCHIE - Stations, Symphony No. 4 CD
 
SHOSTAKOVICH - Borodin Quartet, String Quartets 1-13 4CD

 

        
ROBERT SCOTT - The Green House CD

 

      
DAVID KILGOUR & THE HEAVY EIGHTS - End Times Undone CD

 

   
TINY RUINS - Brightly Painted One CD

 

   
TAMI NEILSON - Dynamite CD

 

   
JAKOB - Sines CD

 

   
THE EASTERN - The Territory CD

Following close behind...

   THE WAR ON DRUGS - Lost In The Dream CD

   RODRIGUEZ - Cold Fact CD

TOP 10 VINYL ALBUMS ~ 2014

Posted on January 01, 2015 by Irene Hundleby

 

So these were our best selling vinyl albums at RELICS for 2014... several record store day releases made the top 10!
But most interesting to us is how AWESOME YOUR SUPPORT for NZ music and NZ musicians has been... which shows by the numbers of NZ vinyl that went out our doors and on to your players !!

 

Also very revealing to us is the wonderfully eclectic taste our customers have!! Good on you!! We made a staggering number of special custom orders for vinyl this year! Our hi-tech vinyl record cleaning service was also super popular... ok without further ado ...
