My Music Taupo

This one operates by his own rules. No online store (other than Facebook and a Google Sheet), but he’s well connected and can often get hold of titles well ahead of anyone else. Highly recommended.

Restless Soul

Simply a love of great music and a passion for sharing it with like-minded people.

Warlock Records

The go-to for metal heads and lovers of all things heavy.

Fishpond

Another good resource for hard-to-find albums, though prices can be high so it pays to shop around first. Shipping is either cheap or free depending on the seller.

Mighty Ape

Music isn’t their core business but you can find a bargain occasionally. Cheap shipping.

Mood

A New Zealand music company born from a love of music and passion for individual style.

Lastly, Amazon

YYou can order from Amazon just make sure it’s sold and shipped directly by Amazon rather than a third party. Packaging can be hit or miss so I use this as a last resort.
