Who are we?
The Great Australian Warehouse Sale is organised by AMRA - the Australian Music Retailers Association. We represent recorded music retailers across Australia and are the authorised partner for Record Store Day.
When Record Store Day was postponed due to the The C Word, we couldn't sit on our hands and wait for it to be over. Most indie record stores are owner-managed. They don't have huge corporate cash reserves to see them through. And where would the world be without indie record stores?
So AMRA came up with The Great Australian Warehouse Sale. You win because you'll get deals of a lifetime. You win again because this may help those stores through, so they survive and are still here when we all return to normal.
The day has been designed to be as safe as we can and to be flexible with the changing conditions. If visiting a store is safe, then crate digging is on. Stores will likely get hand sanitiser and disposable gloves. If it's not safe or if you prefer more social distance then kerbside pick up, car park pick up, home delivery and/or mail order are options. Each store will decide what they can provide.
Check out the lists. Pre-order asap. If the titles are in the store before the 18th the store will likely let you have them before then 18th. There's no queuing, quantities are only limited by what the record companies have, and prices are hot and sharp.
Thanks
Enormous thanks go to the record companies who immediately and enthusiastically threw their support behind this idea. This is a perfect example of being Australian - everyone working together for the greater good of all. It's made our hearts sing.
