An odd yet awesome store. If you're after Anime, J pop, K…read morePop, Chinese Pop, Asian dramas or merchandise for literally any of the things previously mentioned, hit up Media Asia. Some of the stuff they sell is pretty dodgy I'll admit, I saw a couple of anime dvds with the boxes falling apart on the shelves. But hey, it's cheap, cheerful and in Chinatown - What more do you expect? Ps, they recently moved stores 19/421-429 Sussex Street. Enjoy!

Big Music... It's Big... Yeah they sell everything... Guitars, electric and acoustic, They sell…read moredrums and ukuleles. They sell strings and percussion and have a small recording tech area where they stock the usual suspects.. mics and software etc... Big Music is cool... but it's not that cool... It's not boutique.. It's not high end... They do sell Gretch though... mmm white falcon.... I get the idea that there main business is up stairs where they have EXTENSIVE teaching facilities. Lots of rooms to learn what ever you want.. prices are reasonable .. I guess... and they also have a not too bad recording studio down stairs out the back with a Toft ATB 24 channel console and a few iso rooms.. ( with low ceilings ) to record in.... Newly built and I've heard good things about it from a few songwriters. My vote is this.. They're local and I can get stuff there... hopefully... But if I want something High end... It's not my first pick.. but I'll drop by to check it out... P.S they have a great guitar tech who actually cares about the guitars he fixes

As a music store Big Music has a decent range, but not the cheapest prices…read more I've been attending guitar lessons for 6 mints now and the quality of the coaches is excellent! The rest of the staff are fantastic, always happy to help and they make a great effort to be accommodating. If you can already play, there are production studios and performance spaces available to rent. They'll even organize a band for you to jam with if you like. Highly recommend for learning to play!

I don't know what it is about Bondi and great Video/DVD stores, but somehow this suburb just seems…read moreto have a heap of great ones and this store is no exception. Walking into Bondi Movie Wonderworld, you'll find a small collection of memorabilia right near the entrance, including some movie tees and terminator toys, a good start to what might be your first visit into this store, making your way around you'll find some movie categories in neon lit lights around the top edge of the walls, some poster racks displaying old movie favourites and even a couch at the back with some movie books where you can take a seat and read up on movie trivia. Another cool thing about the store are the small classic popcorn bags near the front counter that come in a variety of flavours. Neat-O.

Kids, some as young as eight, have the latest Android or I Phone. When I was eight, I got a colour beaded necklace, a book, and a hug. I don't mean to sound like a fuddy duddy (and yes, I have a smart phone, and yes, I like it a little too much), but in our digital internet era, it's refreshing to find a shop that does it old school. At RRR, formerly known as Discovery when it was located in Hornsby, you're guaranteed to find some hidden gems. They stock a huge range of both second and brand new vinyl records-LPs, EPs, 12", 45s and cd's. The music categories include House, Hip Hop, Reggae, Jazz and Progressive Rock, but there are many more. Be prepared to spend money-some of the records cost over $400 but if you search hard enough, you might just score a bargain. Some of my friends who are Trance DJ's keep their fingers crossed that nobody will find out about this place. Everything is carefully preserved and the owner only too happy to point you in the right direction or check the catalogue to see if the record you want is in store. In addition to music retail, there's a bunch of good books, bric-a-brac items such as home wares, jewellery and antiques, and even men's and women's clothing.

Well that's second hand records and books for you. There is a light waft of mothballs and rightly so. Anyhow, items are dirt cheap here, pardon the pun. So if you really want to get a magazine, an edition to your record collection or purchase an old relic because you're going through a collectors phase then you may be able to make a purchase for under $10 and leave with a couple of things.
