Gone To Gowings !  Birdland version 3 .

The new Birdland (Version 3) opened on Saturday 4th July 2009.

The new address is: Birdland Records 909 / 45 Market Street (Gowings Building) just after the State Theatre. Take the lift to the 9th floor and turn left.

New Hours:

We will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday each week. The hours are - Thurs 10-6, Fri 10-5.30, Sat 9-4.30

On the other days we'll be concentrating on the Website and Mail Order service, however orders can be collected in person between 12-2 any day BUT you must email/phone in advance to let us know you're coming in so we can confirm your order is ready and to ensure that someone is here. Orders can be placed on the site and collected at the store rather than posted if you'd prefer.

see you soon... the crew

We've now got sound and vision on the site!

Check out some of the great clips we've added. 

• Please include your email address when ordering. And your phone # just in case we have to contact you about your order  - most titles, especially Australian and new stuff, listed on the site are in stock but not all of them. If it has artwork and a description then it's probably in stock. New releases are generally in stock. Supply of SACDS can be a bit of a problem. Likewise vinyl.

• You can now order on-line but collect from the current store (and the new store when we re-open) - when ordering just click on "Select shipping method" and select "I'll collect my order".
