The Searchers Records

Probably the best record store in Melbourne in terms of prices. The hip hop collection varies from ice cube to j.cole and they had a lot of wu tang, Big, and Jay z in stock. The average price for a hip hop album here is about $50 the cheapest and best in Melbourne.

Been going here for years, and never walk away empty handed. Good selection of used and new records with well stocked jazz, prog and Krautrock sections. Always worth a visit.

Really great selection with the best price’s I’ve ever seen. Definitely a go to now!

Good store overall. Nice setup, decent sale section. Easy to get to

Really amazing record store with very good collection of stuff I haven’t been able to find anywhere and lovely staff, super cruisy and helpful - playing some cool stuff when my friend and I were in there I ended up buying a very high fidelity beta band experience

Easily one of the best Vinyl dealers in Melbourne... any trip to Smith St Fitzroy is not complete without a good rummage through the many racks of wax.

The Best Record Store in Melbourne. You will find grails here. If not, just ask!

this record shop is probably the best in melbourne. on an interstate vacation i was eager to shop around and bring home some records but found that most shops only sell brand new sealed vinyl, as an avid second hand/first pressing collector, this disappointed me. after looking inside roughly 4 record shops in the main melbourne area i finally found this one. i spent about $500 in this shop and could of easily spent more. sort after first pressing and other limited editions at very affordable prices. ended up leaving with 8 records. guy in the shops also helped show me some new stuff i may be interested. was a great store, definitely worth the visit.

Really great selection at reasonable enough prices. Lots of NM/VG+ Japanese pressings that are hard to run into outside of Japan. Strongly recommend if you are visiting from out of town or overseas.

This shop has potential but I found it quite dirty and disorganised compared the others in the inner Melbourne area. The vinyl singles at the back of the store are arranged by price not era or genre which makes looking for something tiring and time consuming.
