About Bondi Records
Music brings people together.
Bondi Records is an independent Australian record store built by collectors, for collectors.
Since launching in 2021, we’ve grown from a small family business operating out of a garage into one of Australia’s leading independent vinyl retailers.
We believe music has a unique ability to connect people, create memories and tell stories. Whether you’re discovering your first record or searching for a long-lost favourite, our mission is simple: to help more people experience the joy of vinyl.
Our story
We’re Craig and Geri, the husband-and-wife team behind Bondi Records.
Music has been part of both our lives for as long as we can remember.
Craig grew up spending weekends in record stores, making mixtapes from the UK Top 40 and later DJing house, garage, drum & bass and R&B.
For Geri, music meant family—road trips, favourite albums and the moments that become lifelong memories.
Bondi has played an equally important role in our story. It’s where we met, where we got married and where we started our family, so when it came time to name the business, there was never really another choice.
When we launched Bondi Records in 2021, it wasn’t just about selling records. It was about sharing our love of music and creating a place where other collectors could discover, connect and experience the joy of vinyl together.
From garage to record store
What started as a small side project quickly took over our garage—and eventually our lives.
We packed orders after work, squeezed shelves into every spare corner and wondered if anyone would actually buy records from us.
Thankfully, they did. Before long, the garage was overflowing, and what started as a side project became our full-time focus.
Today, we’re fortunate to welcome customers to our flagship store in Bondi Junction while shipping records to collectors across Australia and around the world.
More than a record store
Records are what we sell, but they’re not why we’re here.
We’re here for the conversations that start over a favourite album, the excitement of finding a long-sought pressing, the joy of buying a first turntable, and the moments when music brings people together.
Whether it’s through listening parties, artist events or simply helping someone discover their next favourite record, we’re proud to be building a community of music lovers.
Every order supports an independent Australian family business, and for that, we’re incredibly grateful.
Thanks for being part of our story.
Music brings people together. We’re just here to help it find its way into more homes.
