Howdy y'all ... we know, it's been yonks since we updated this intro page, but rest assured it was out of our control ... well, mostly. Anyway, we're back on board!

Now, just because we've been a bit lax on the updates here, does not mean we've been lazy on the updates there - "there" referring to our listings of stock. We've been adding new items to the website on a regular basis (for those not clued in on where to view the latest goodies in stock, here's a hint: the What's New section), and yes, we will continue to add stuff to our catalogue until the end of time, or until our fingers fall off in a plague of leprosy and we're just beating at the keyboard with stumps - and even still, we'll just got the work experience kids to do it. But we collectively digress ...

Yes, we have plenty of new stock. Yes, this includes new music releases, and yes, we've listed a few of these gems below. But don't look yet! First you have to finish reading our lacklustre attempt at a witty write-up.

Have you heard about these new fandangled things they have on the interneck called a "search engine"? Am I pronouncing that correctly? Does pronunciation even come into play with the written word? Regardless, we have one! (Re: search engine.) It's in the top-left corner of our main page, and it works like this: you work out what you're after, select what format (see: kind; type) your desired item is from the drop-down menu, punch in the keyword/s, hit that red "Go!" button, and Bob's your auntie, you'll get instant results! (Well, that's if we have it in stock ... chances are, we do. Good odds, so place that bet!)

Dependent on when you're reading this, christmas may or may not be coming up. Actually, it's always "coming up", but whether it's soon or not relies on what the date is at the time that you, dear shopper, are reading this. (Ah, temporal physics.) So, we know that your mum wants the Anti-Flag autographed skateboard deck and your 12 year old cousin is after those Draven slip-on shoes with all the pretty flowers on em, so ... what? That's not right? Well smarty-pants, maybe you should be doing the choosing of the items, and we'll take care of the rest. Consider us a Santa that can be bought off so you can get what you really want.

Now, due to possible political and legal ramifactions, we can't reveal names, but a certain newly-appointed world leader- let's call him "Mr. O" - recently sent us an email, asking us to "do him a deal of presidential proportions" on the new limited edition Metallica 'Death Magnetic' coffin box set. Unfortunately we're not able to haggle on the price of these babies due to how limited they are (there's only 2000 of them out there, and no, we don't have all 2000 of them, far from it), but we did recommend that Mr. O invest in the box set to save his country from their current economical crisis. You too, dear shopper, could avoid dire straits (and also having to listen to Dire Straits) by forking out the initial outlay for the box set to gain instant rockin satisfaction and ongoing asset appreciation. Do it!

We can sense you growing weary of our silly verbal tirade, dear shopper, and therefore we'll leave it there ... or will we? How about we finish up by assuring you that our email does still work, so if you have any enquiries, contact us at ... wait for it ... enquiries@rarerecords.com.au.

Enjoy your online RR experience, dear shopper. Peace be with you and your loved ones, and misery with your enemies (unless they shop with us also, then they're wished peace too).

P.S. for those of you who do and/or can make it in to our shop in St. Kilda, Australia, we've got some extra-rockin specials instore, including shoes (besides the usual two-for-the-price-of-one deal that most shoe outlets have) and t-shirts, so ["Price Is Right" voice on] dear shopper, come on down!
