MAY '08 NEWSLETTER

It is now May of 2008 and what a fantastic year it has been for music in general, not only has there been a slew of fantastic new releases (on both CD & vinyl), with plenty more to come in the second half of the year, 2008 has seen Rare Records put smiles on many people's faces, whether it be from providing them with a hard to find release, informing them of some juicy music news, or giving them the opportunity to meet one of their favourite artists via some great instores.

But don't think we're going to rest on our laurels for the rest of the year ... there's so much more to come! The best bet is to shoot an email over to enquiries@rarerecords.com.au with your details, requesting to join our mailing list, or you can befriend us on our MySpace page, and we'll keep you informed of all our upcoming events, and what's new and groovy in stock.

Just recently we have expanded our collection of Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix rarities, with some items that will make you collectors foam at the mouth and drop to the floor in amazement! So head on to the website and have a look for youself. Don't forget to check up on our What's New section as we will be adding some amazing products to the site in the coming weeks such as a brand new shipment of fresh vinyl from overseas!

AUSSIE RECOMMENDATIONS

Here at Rare Records, we love our Australian tunes. Here's just a few titles that we think are tops, and reckon you'll dig too. If you wanna hear some of these bands, either hunt down the band on MySpace, or pop into the store and ask us to spin the disc for you, we'll be happy to!

OVERSEAS RECOMMENDATIONS

There's always great music coming into Rare Records from overseas. Here's some of the awesome releases we recommend, and yes we know Nick Cave is from Australia but seeing most of his latest album was done overseas we thought we would stick him in the overseas section.
