    Dirt Cheap CDs

    Missing that hard-to-find fifth Flaming Lips CD, or has your LP of Rolling Stones' Goat's Head Soup finally given up the ghost? This is the place for brand new back-catalogue CDs, most priced around A$10. There's also a branch at 238 Pitt St in the city.

    Egg Records

    There’s something a bit too-cool-for-school about this secondhand and new CD and record store, but it’s the perfect place to, say, complete your collection of 1980s David Bowie 12in singles, or pick up a Cramps T-shirt or a Gene Simmons figurine.
