Independent Record Store Day is nearly here and it’s being celebrated at the greatest record store in New Zealand - Real Groovy Records, Queen Street, Auckland.

At Real Groovy we’re celebrating all the beautiful objects that are prints of artistic creation by musicians, and celebrating the unique culture surrounding independent record stores worldwide.
