Marbecks

Visited recently, about 1 year since my last visit. Still a great shop. Great selection of vinyl, so if you're into authentic vinyl sounds, or are a DJ, this is a great place to go. Very good service and knowledgeable staff too.

Marbeck's is a store where the staff live music. What they don't know about records and music isn't worth knowing. They have all genres of music and a huge stock. They offer online services, but if you get the chance to visit a store and just flick through all the record covers, you'll be transported back decades and recall some seriously great music of days gone by. They have up-to-date music too, but their vinyl selection is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff either. If it isn't in stock, but still available, they'll buy it in for you. Highly recommended.

The pride of New Zealand. The best music shop in the country. The most knowledgeable staff. 10 stars deserved.

Awesome live music, great place to go

Marbecks has had its ups and downs over the years but has stabilised in one of what was once three shops (as I recall) in Queens Arcade. I like the current setup very much; they stock a great selection and the staff know their stuff, or will quickly find out what you need to know. It's complemented by an excellent on-line ordering service. Their prices are often comparable to, and sometimes better than, the overseas online giants and I know where I'd sooner spend my money!
