Our First Christmas in Bairnsdale 🎄

A milestone moment for MR Retro

This Christmas marks a huge milestone for us — our very first festive season for MR Retro as a record store in Bairnsdale, East Gippsland.

Opening our doors in this community has been an unforgettable experience, and we’ve been blown away by the warmth, support, and love for music that Bairnsdale has shown us since day one. What started as a vision has now become a place where music lovers can connect, discover, and feel at home.

More than just a record shop

MR Retro is more than just a store — it’s the retail home of MR Records, our Australian independent record label established in 2018. Alongside supporting amazingly talented artists from Australia and around the world, we’ve created a space where music culture, creativity, and community collide.

Our vibe is simple:
A fusion of retro soul and new-school culture.

Inside MR Retro, you’ll find:

• New and second-hand CDs and vinyl

• Official merchandise and exclusives

• Hoodies, T-shirts, hats and caps

• Games and collectibles

• Personalised gifts for music lovers

Whether you’re chasing a classic, something current, or a unique gift, we love helping people find the soundtrack to their lives.

A big thank you to Bairnsdale

To everyone who has walked through our doors, shared a story, supported our artists, or simply stopped for a browse — thank you. You’ve made our first Christmas season not just busy, but unforgettable.

We’ve loved meeting fellow music fans, hearing your concert memories, talking records, and watching families and friends experience the shop together. This is exactly what we hoped MR Retro would become.

Looking ahead

As we head into the new year, we’re excited to continue growing MR Retro while expanding MR Records — discovering new talent, releasing fresh music, hosting more in-store moments, and building something special right here in East Gippsland.

This is only the beginning.

From all of us at MR Retro and MR Records, we wish you a safe, happy, and music-filled Christmas and an amazing New Year.

Come in, say hello, and let the music play.
