About Crosstalk Records

An independent record shop + listening room on Norton Street, Leichhardt — genre-agnostic, low-pressure, and very happy to help.

We opened Crosstalk in 2022 and it’s grown into a slightly chaotic mix of new and used records, CDs, hi-fi bits, cables and accessories — plus an ongoing obsession with strange vintage gear that probably shouldn’t still work (but does).

We work closely with independent artists and labels, and try to keep the space welcoming whether you’re deep in the weeds or just starting out. From time to time the wider world notices — we’ve been featured by SBS News, ABC and (begrudgingly) Channel 7, and in late 2025 Crosstalk was cited in a Community Recognition Statement in Parliament by Kobi Shetty (The Greens). Mostly though, we’re just here doing what we love.

Records & CDs

New arrivals go out constantly, used stock turns over quickly, and there’s no fixed idea of what you should be listening to — from total pop comfort to deep, strange corners of genre history.

A listening room

A calm space to sit down, put a record on, flick through books, and take your time — somewhere you can actually hang out.

Turntables & hi-fi help

Setups, troubleshooting, basic repairs, and practical advice — with a strong preference for fixing and re-using good gear.

Services

Practical help, record care, and one of the newest things we’re genuinely excited about: custom vinyl cut right here in-store.

New + exciting Custom Vinyl (lathe-cut, no minimums)

One-offs, short runs, gifts, demos, odd ideas — things that would never make sense at a pressing plant.
