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 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. It was so good in 2020, that it's back in 2021.
The format of the day is flexible. Instore or online. So it can be flexible if conditions are changing. If visiting a store is safe, then crate digging is on. If stores need to get hand sanitiser and disposable gloves, then they will. 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.
Thanks
Enormous thanks go to the record companies who immediately and enthusiastically threw their support behind this idea in 2020 and again in 2021. This is a perfect example of being Australian - everyone working together for the greater good of all. It's made our hearts sing.
