A MESSAGE TO RECORD BUYERS Or, More News From The Secondhand Record Front. Hello again, and a big thank you to all those real groovy.people who have patronised our modest little store over the past month. we sure haven't had a chance to get lonely or bored, so we would also like to thank Murray and Stefan at Rip It up, and Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew; Dylan, Ted and all the others at Campus Radio for putting together such real groovy adslflffiHMßfnßiNHPHMpH What we would like to do is provide serious music listeners (those of you who don’t buy your, records at supermarkets or department stores) with a better service. Better prices for your records, both for cash or trade, a better selection for sale, and at realistic prices we can do this best by keeping our overheads down: ' • By having a shop in a low rent area; • By employing no staff; • By thinking about the cost effectiveness of our advertising (our biggest expense!); • By turning over our stock of records as rapidly as possible in order to keep our capital investment at a minimum. One problem which occurs when operating a business away from the central city is that of accesibility. We have chosen our site at 23 Mt Eden Road very carefully. There is a metered car park opposite the shop and free parking immediately outside. For those .of you who travel by bus the following information may be of assistance: Outgoing NO.

Does it reflect your past musical tastes, or your musical tastes of now? That is the whole point of trading your unwanted records, instead of your record collection being a relatively inert body to which you are occasionally making additions at no little expense, it should frequently be pruned, both to offset the cost of your additions, and also that it may change and reflect your changing tastes. And if your tastes are not changing ... well then, sorry. Because most of us have changing tastes, at any given time some of us are discarding styles that others have yet to appreciate. That is why good records will always hold their value (and why we wish .people with Abba records would leave them at home) and, consequently, why it is desirable to forsake those records you no longer play in order to acquire records out of which you will get more use and more listening pleasure, we still have several thousand dollars left, with which we would like to buy good quality records of any type. Bring them in, you may be pleasantly surprised. : r "' ‘' 1 23 MT EDEN RD, AUCKLAND. PH 775-870
