I'm not saying capitalism is evil. But I'd much rather shop at a store built with passion than one that's squarely aimed at making a quick buck.
Welcome to Repressed Records, where the staff enthusiastically hand-write reviews of beloved albums (on CD and vinyl), and the store is chockers with DIY zines, 7"s, books, used mags, cult DVDs, band t-shirts, and a very cool mix of punk, indie, soul, black metal, garage, psych, and "whatever is hard to find yet devastatingly brilliant".
This beaut of a new store near Newtown station is actually the end result of 6 years hard work at their old locale in Penrith. This explains the large amount and great variety of stock.
But don't take my word for it - go buy a Chrissie present there now! You could even shop online, lazy bastard, or read and subscribe to their newsletter right here. Get repressed.

About
TwoThousand is a subcultural guide to Sydney, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Sydney writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence TwoThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
