Hello!

My kids accidentally broke one of my husband’s records. It’s from the 1950s or 1960s, and is precious because it featured his now deceased father playing an instrument. It would have been obscure then, and even more so now. It wouldn’t ever have been on CD, for example. Does anyone have any ideas how I could find a replacement?

  • Do a search of the specialist record brokers. eBay, even just put the name of the record into google to see if you can get it!

  • There is a specialist record store in Sydney that sells old records. My brother has built up a collection over the years. I think it is Bligh St, but will find out when next speak to him.


  • ebay or gumtree


  • Do a general google/search engine search. Ebay or even Etsy could have a copy. Gumtree might too. There are sometimes specialist record stores – check the yellow pages…good luck!


  • do a search on Ebay or contact the record company that is on the label if they still exist
