So not really indicative of it's name, The Wax Department stocks new and used CD's, records, DVD's…read moreand a range of local and national t shirts, caps, magazines and other goodies from a variety of different artists and bands. They mainly deal in Hip-Hop music and cover an impressive range in this genre from not only international and national artists, but from an array of up an coming local artists! Not only do they deal in Hip-Hop but there's something for just about everyone here. I'm a sucker for anywhere that sells new and secondhand vinyl, and the few times I have ventured to this store, I haven't left empty handed. Today, I picked up a unique UK Press of an folk band I'm most fond of, I'll say it again, there's something here for everyone. The gentleman who runs the store is very well mannered and is willing to answer any question you may be pondering. One could quite easily spend hours searching through the incredible range of mainly CD's and records that are home to The Wax Department. Prices are reasonable, but if you look hard enough, you'll find a bargain here and there, it's all worth the money anyhow! If you're around the area, or have a particular interest in CD's and vinyl from mainly Hip-Hop artists but from any genre for that matter, call in to The Wax Department, you won't be disappointed.

I think it's just second nature for me to call in to this JB Hi-Fi when I'm at Marion now. They…read morehave ordered countless cds and vinyl, yes that's right they do order vinyl records (although none of it is usually kept in store). For new release cds and vinyl, you really can't beat their prices and this is normally my first stop for anything new. The store is so well set out that I commonly find what I'm looking for without having to ask, even then the service is fantastic and the staff are some of the most helpful I've come across in any JB Hi-Fi store. One guy even managed to track down a re-issue of Neil Young's 'Harvest' for me on vinyl at a drastically lower price than what I was going to pay for it online. Needless to say I was impressed and some form of order was restored to me in that retail businesses still do offer better services than online retailers in some cases! It'd almost be considered criminal for me not to visit this JB Hi-Fi when I'm at Marion. The best JB in South Australia in my opinion. Visiting often is a necessity!

This JB Hi-Fi is my fave electronics/technology/entertainment store. For one thing all the staff…read morelook like they've stepped out of a punk/emo film clip. I'm all for customer service that includes tatts and face piercings thanks very much. Also, the staff actually have a clue what their section is on about and have even been known to do excellent, almost wholesale prices to grab your sale. This is especially so when purchasing big-ticket items like my Dj decks. They also have an excellent range of cds, dvds and blue-ray and good prices and sales (for the retail sector). Don't be intimidated by the burly security guard and the alarm gates at the storefront, but maybe don't try to steal anything either. In a nutshell - entertainment city!

It seems that records in Adelaide are getting more popular to purchase and collect in the last…read morecouple of years. My thoughts are that records (if you treat them right) last longer than CDs. Then the attraction to collect music with some amazing artwork and limited addition books that come with them. Or maybe it is just nostalgia? Records do have a specific sound that you can't replicate well on CD. My partner and I used to buy heaps of CDs. But stopped after a while as they just kept scratching. I have thrown so many away. Do you remember when you where younger ordering and waiting your favourite cassettes and CDs? There was a lot of excitement and anticipation of getting it home and thrashing it on your player. Or maybe you grew up in the vinyl era and you always knew the value of owning a piece of physical musical artwork. Recently my partner and I decided to purchase a record player from a thrift store. Consequently this has developed a lust for vinyl. We have been searching high and dry for good record stores. We came across Rocktherapy simply when driving past. The big record on top of the store is a good flagpole. The store is small, but has some quality and well priced records and CDs stocked. There are a couple of rare and collectables available depending on your taste. I was very happy to find a Grandmaster Funk LP for $10. Got that little gem home for many laughs and dancing around the living room. The gentleman that owns and runs the store is very friendly and helpful. He is happy to have a chat about music and what his store has too offer. I think that stores like this is something that I really missed from when I was growing up. Now with access the Mp3s kids are missing out on that sense of excitement in finding something cool in a record store and owning it's physical form! For my fellow vinylheads, worth a trip to browse!

Here's the thing, I finally put aside the time to go for a little drive and visit Rocktherapy CD's…read more& Records and am oh so grateful that I did. I love vinyl records and there sure is no shortage in this store, situated off of Goodwood road in Daw Park, the place was bustling with people within minutes of me setting my feet inside. I'll let you decide, but I think vinyl is on its way back up and it's stores like this where any collector both young, old and after any genre should start searching. This is by far the best set out store I have come across when it comes to vinyl records, everything was well labelled and not inconveniently crammed in to every nook and cranny. The gentleman who ran the store was very well mannered and warmly welcomed me upon entrance. Not only does Rocktherapy stock heaps of vinyl but they also keep CD's and tapes on the shelf too. Pick any genre of music, any, I dare you! You'll find it here! I was particularly impressed to see one of my favourite genres in a neat little box under a table (and although not on a pedestal for all to see), it was still there. I'm talking about bluegrass music, I love anything to do with folk, bluegrass or country music and there was a nice selection of all these genres as well as a huge selection of other more popular genres in store. I really can't wait until the next time I visit, there were far too many records that I left behind that need (yes need!) to be purchased. In all seriousness though, Rocktherapy have a massive variety of music in a variety of formats, all fantastically organised and ready for you to sift through! If you're a music lover, of any genre, style or format, check out Rocktherapy, I can assure you, this therapy won't leaving you battered and bruised, more delighted and happy I think!
