The ratings tell the truth, Penny lane records located just out of Christchurch city is one of New Zealands top record stores. With thousands and thousands of records, Cd's, tapes, DVDs and music memorabilia. OK to the records now. When you walk into "Penny's" there is 10-16 crates of new records that have come into the store. Both new and used. In these crate are also rare records. I was there in July and two of those crates are collectible 80s NZ vinyl. On both sides of the store are walls and racks of records. with a huge $4 sale section on the inside with loads of really good vinyl. On both of these walls are huge sections of A-Z pop rock, jazz, blues, soul, metal, alternative, NZ, dance, hip hop and loads more sections. There is a lot of collectible rare records in all of these sections. A very nice sale section of 7" with lots of p/s and NZ bands, Beatles, Elvis and so on. I always end up spending way to much cash when i go to "Penny's". The guys know there stuff as well. The only slight down full is the quality and pricing at times. Its probably because so much records are coming in all of the time. Well worth a look and you will need more than a few hours if you collect more than a few genre's.
