Ride On Super Sound specializes in new and second-hand vinyl, cassettes, compact discs, comics, zines, weird books, band t-shirts, posters, assorted rock’n’roll ephemera and lamp repair.

 

It’s also home to a small but perfectly-formed experimental record cutting facility, a salvaged photocopier, a home-brewed point of sale system and the hopes and dreams of a dozen foolish volunteers with a poorly-conceived business plan.

 

Originally established in 2018 next to venerable indie venue Darkroom, it moved to a tiny shack at the top of three flights of outdoor stairs atop beloved Christchurch drinking spot Smash Palace, and is currently situated inside BOXed Quarter on St Asaph St. It will undoubtedly combust within the year, so prospective customers are encouraged to partake of its glorious cultural bounty before it goes gently into that good night, as these special little places so often do.

 

Ride On Super Sound opens at various hours between Wednesday and Sunday, and occasionally on other randomly-assigned days, and by appointment.

 

We encourage you to visit, and strongly urge you to create your own records, zines, comics and posters, so that we can make them available for public consumption.
