New Zealand Music Month At Re-Store

…yeah, yeah, I know…

…when I had the record shop I used to rail against New Zealand Music Month, claiming that every month was New Zealand Music Month at Too Tone Records…

…but that was then…

…this is now,,,

..since the beginning of processing the accumulation we had been separating the NZ music out…

…can’t remember why exactly…

…but we did…

…and now we have over 13 crates of it…

…all priced up and ready to be delivered to Re-Store early next week…

…(Monday is the first of May so that might be a clue as to exactly when the first drop might be…no promises though)….

…see you there…

…tell your NZ music obsessive friends…

Post My Recent Illness

…before…

…after…

….ignore the sign…

…because….

…Sunday…

…10 a.m….

…Restore, 7 Gordon Street, Dunedin Central…

…10 fresh crates from the accumulation…

….I’m baaa-aaaack.

Push The Pause Button

…time to give your wallet a well deserved rest…

…send those weary crate digging fingers on a spa weekend…

…and more importantly, rebuild those relationships that mattered to you most before you became a record buying fiend…

…in short…

…there will be no fresh crates at Restore this week…

…I have that stinking cold that has been ravaging Dunedin over the last couple of weeks and am unable to stand in the donors garage and sort vinyl (let alone carry full crates) for the 8 hours required to provide 10 fresh crates for tomorrow morning…

…so lets all just take a step back, take a deep breath and steel ourselves for a return to the new “normal” next week…

…or you could go down tomorrow and take the opportunity to make sure you didn’t miss anything in the previous three weeks…

…(you know you did)….

And Then There Was Three

…or….

…how to empty the pockets and wallets of record collectors in Dunedin for a third week running…

…Step 1 :- condense records left over from last week…(place excess, if any, in crates under tables)…

…Step 2 :- fill gaps in between older crates with 10 freshly prepared crates…(mmm…fresh crates)…

…Step 3 :- let the record collectors know that they need to be up bright and early and at the doors of Restore, 7 Gordon Street, Dunedin Central at 10a.m. or they might be able afford groceries this week…

…Step 4 :- reassure the record collectors that there only are 3 (maybe 4)…(maybe 5) more weeks of 10 crate drops to endure…

…Step 5 :- avoid record collectors immediate families and employers for all of time.

Ladies And Gentlemen Start Your Engines

…. 20 crates (count ’em) of the record accumulation I’m currently processing will drop on the 4th of July, 2021, at Restore, 7 Gordon Street, Dunedin Central…

…here’s a random crate…

…ah, crap….let me try that again….

….the stack of 70 crates featured in last week’s post now sits at 72 with more to come from inside the house….

…we’ll be adding more crates to Restore’s stock every week for some time to come…

…something in there for almost everyone…

…with…so…much…more…to…come….

…see you Sunday, 11a.m…..

…er…

… and every subsequent Sunday…

…until it’s all done.

Progress

…new hand-built-tongue-sticking-out-of-mouth-corner shelving in cupboard….cupboard door “blackboarded” for  large print list making….

…some crate labelling completed….

…nearly there.

Yesterday

…wax in….

…wax out….

…hurry while stocks last.

 

 

…busy, busy…but not THAT busy…photos flipped to create retail frenzy…
