Record Store Day 2016 Focus: Sounds Espresso

Answered by: Anthony Skapetis (Owner)

What does your store specialise in? The store specialises in new and used CDs. We also repair turntables in-house. [We're an] Audio-Technica authorised reseller.

What's on high rotation on the store stereo at the moment and why? Hip hop, old school, jazz, soul, rock and reggae are all in demand. People love all kinds of songs.

What does a record store offer that clicking or tapping a button can't? Record stores offer listening, in-store talks about the song or album; the store owner can explain.

Despite declines in other areas of the industry, vinyl is seeing an increase in sales. Why do you think that is? Vinyl sales are increasing; people are wanting the old-school music and feel of vinyl (you cant hug mp3 music!).

What have you got planned on Record Store Day (including any sweet exclusives you'll have)? Record Store Day will be top secret in-store sales, product demos, prize giveaways etc.
