Music Box record exchange is one of the only Central North Island record stores. Music box specializes in 2nd hand records but sell tapes and Cd's. Again another small store well packed with records. A well sectioned store with good NZ, alternative rock, jazz and A-Z sections. There is also a very good rare records shelve. Last time i went there was a couple of years ago and there was a copy of the monster rare LP from the Kinks "Village green" sitting in the store for $330 retail. Always lots of new records coming in and the owner has a good head for whats sells and whats popular. When i went in there were multiple copy's of collectible bands, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Flying Nun and so. Also a good range of 7" scattered around the store. I always need at least 3 hours digging time when I'm in the Music Box record exchange.

Still more record stores to be reviewed and thanks to Kit beer reviews will start happening soon.
