Record Store Day 2024 at Bendigo Records

Welcome to Record Store Day at Bendigo Records. Record Store day is one of the craziest days on our calendar every year. Initially set up as a way to send some love back to those brick and mortar indie record stores that become such a cornerstore of any scene, RSD has become a launch date for some unique releases from local indie artists to global megastars.

We have,

• Limited Edition Record Store Day Releases (almost full list below)
• Exclusive Turntable and Hi-Fi Deals (from refurbished entry level to discounted high end)
• Our usual great range of vinyl records, hi-fi, and recording gear
• Bendigo Records exclusive RSD Deals on special limited run products and Merch (Stay tuned, follow on socials and sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear!)

The Rules

On Record Store Day, RSD Australia have some pretty strict rules we have to follow around the day, and the awesome titles released for it.

We must be an independantly owned record store. No chains, (Target and JB-Hi-FI not welcome), no stores with more than two locations. That's us. Locally owned by two music loving mates. No corporate backing, just us trying to give Bendigo, and the rest of regional Vic, the record store it deserves

In Store Only. All titles are only for sale in store. They must be first in best dressed, no reservations allowed. Co-owner Sam even made his wife line up to get a copy of an exclusive RSD release last year. Any left over stock, we are allowed to list online from Monday.

Brick and Mortar. This day is about real stores. There's been some extra rules brought in to make sure that the day stays about real stores that are mainly record stores, that offer a real experience in store. No online sites that open their doors a few times a year. We are open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10 till 5:30 almost every week of the year. Some extra trading hours in their too

How we RSD @ Bendigo Records.

Indie record stores across the country trat this day differently. From the stock they get in, how they manage the inevitable queues, and even their opening hours. At Bendigo Records, we;

Open as per usual. This means a 10am open. We do this as we know we have people travel from all over central Victoria and we want to give everyone the chance to get in early. We don't want people having to get up at 5am to drive out to us. let's all grab a coffee first and have a good time. We did have a pretty substantial queue last year so if you have your heart set on something, get in early.

Most of our stock will be organised with everything else. All stock, including RSD titles will be in our racks, arranged alphabetically, by artist first name. A few titles hat we recieve larger amounts of we will likely have some at the counter as well as in the racks. If you don't see what you're after, make sure you ask just in case.

Our Unique RSD Records

Check out our full list of ordered titles below. We will get confirmation of our allocated amounts the week of Record Store Day but what we can tell you now is that this is the biggest order we have ever done. There should be plenty of availability but we would recommend getting in nice and early to secure any title that's on your wish list
