Great Big Sea

Great Big Sea - Fortune's Favour, produced by Hawksley Workman

on sale now !

Enjoy the FULL music experience! Browse the aisles, touch, listen, get turned on to something new by a true & passionate “sales” person. Yes, there really is a “Barry” out there at many of the indie retailers. Still Jack Black’s best movie role in my opinion.   Pay at a cash register, & exit the store head held high.

Brag to your friends about what you’ve just bought. Take ‘em with you next time.

CANADIAN INDEPENDENT RECORD STORE OF THE YEAR
Megatunes, Calgary

 

"The record store. Where true fandom begins. It's the soul of discovery, and the place where you can always return for that mighty buzz. The posters. The imports. The magazines. The discerning clerks, paid in vinyl, professors of the groove. Long live that first step inside, when the music envelopes you and you can't help it. You walk up to the counter and ask the question that begins the journey -- "what is that you're playing?" Long live the record store, and the guys and girls who turn the key, and unlock those dreams, every day."

Megatunes has been voted Best Record Store in Calgary by Avenue Magazine Readers !

For The Record :

"Independent" doesn't have to mean "mom and pop", but if it does, Megatunes is the coolest parent on the block, the one who knows a good CD collection when it sees one, which is why it was voted Calgary's Best Record Store.

Since 1988, Megatunes has been satisfying the whims of even the most committed obscurist, all while helping Calgary scenesters bypass Ticketmaster-style "convenience charges" for local acts.  Even with the recent addition (September 2003) of an Edmonton location, the largest independent music store in the city still nurtures punks and hipsters like a good Calgary parent should.
