Ride On Super Sound — Local services in Christchurch

Bloody good. A fantastic team of folks, who care about the local music scene. Fantastic range of every possible genre that one could desire.

Also worth noting, being the somewhat cheap prick that I am, I was absolutely shocked to find that their pricing is beyond reasonable, in comparison to online per say (usually an unfair comparison)... 9/10 times you'll be paying marginally less than the Discogs median pricing. Which is typically unheard of in record stores.

Despite my mostly questionable taste in music, all the pressings I looked at (and or bought) seemed to be in excellent condition (nothing below VG/VG+), and clean. A well curated range for any taste.

Well worth a regular drop in, always something new and enticing...

I feel like this store is the greatest mystery I've ever experienced in my life. It's a beautiful business full of incredible products with absolutely amazing ties to community and creative endeavors. I wholeheartedly support them, their values, and their priorities.

Happening upon places like this feels very much like a once in a blue moon moment; it happens so rarely these days. And to find this level of genuine originality and authenticity in a retailer is truly an almost extinct experience. Massive love for your support of the local Christchurch scene and I always enjoy a chuckle at the problematic section (100% accurate, every time) Come for the merchandise, stay for...
