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 ...
NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS - Push The Sky Away LP
LA DE DA'S - LA DE DA'S
These LPs were also 10th EQUAL :
PINK FLOYD - Dark Side Of The Moon 40th Anniv LP
LORDE - Pure Heroine LP
SPELLING MISTAKES - Feels So Good LP
QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE - Like Clockwork 2LP
KYUSS - And The Circus Leaves Town LP
Top 10 CDs and Top 5 DVDs will be posted shortly!

ROB THORNE ~ Taongo Puoro in Otepoti (Dunedin)
Friday 11 July @ Dunedin Public Art Gallery
"... a gentle evocation of the lapping tides, the furrows carved out of the wind, the nocturnal stirrings, the whirrings of wind-propelled wooden chimes, the gentle siren-call of cooing voices, hints of bird song too. It all makes for a soothing – though sometimes beautifully alarming, almost wonderfully unsettling – record of ambient soundscapes. It is Thorne’s through-composed actualisation of identity, a journey that goes deep, is sometimes dark, offering moodiness and a brooding beauty...
I’ve said many times before in reviewing Maori language albums that I’m lost when it comes to a translation but lost in the sound of it, swept up and moved by the beauty of the language; translation – ultimately – is irrelevant. And so it is with this album built with traditional Maori instruments, a different kind of voice, the voice of Taonga Puoro."
Opportunities to hear traditional Maori instruments are a rare occurrence, add to that the beauty of Rob Thorne's compositions, and this concert will be an experience you will not forget.
Prepare to be moved and soothed, his live performances are an intimate and magical experience.
Tickets available in store at RELICS for $15
Door sales will be $20
