New record store opening in Newtown this weekend

Independent record store, Repressed Records, formerly located in a distant land called Penrith, is relocating to sunny ol' Newtown, with the grand opening happening this Saturday.

You will be able to find the store at 356 King St, which we are told is left from when you come out of the station, down towards the performing arts high school.

This is what Nick, an employee, had to say about the general thinking behind the store:

Well, it's good to know we aren't alone in that belief.

Record buying in Newtown has never been better at the moment with Paint It Black, that awesome vinyl/rarities store on the south part of King St that I always forget the name of, Egg Records and the 'mainstream' outlets (Fish, HUM etc) covering a nice wide spectrum of tastes and styles.

Much like Paint It Black, the store will also sell stuff on consignment, giving local bands a great way to get their music out to the public. They offer a whole range of deals for bands, distros and labels, more info of which can be found in this Mess and Noise thread.
