WELCOME When I first arrived in Melbourne, I temporarily bunked out east while I found my bearings (and a job). Eager to connect with new music, I discovered a small, yellow-painted shop called JB Hi-Fi on Whitehorse Road, Nunawading (this particular store has since been replaced with an upgraded model). I made a beeline for the door after spotting a sign that read ‘CDs’ and entered what turned out to be an Aladdin’s Cave, where I picked up rare a Spacemen 3 release and an Unkle Japanese import. Impressed, I became a regular there. One of the staff members told me the manager would occasionally throw in a discounted copy of an album amongst the full priced versions, encouraging the ‘hunt’. The breadth of range synonymous with JB Hi-Fi stores meant hunting season was all year round, and whether I was searching for music, games or movies, the possibility of uncovering an undiscovered gem was part of the allure of shopping at JB. JB Hi-Fi chief executive Richard Murray recently confirmed the company’s ongoing support for physical media, and it’s hard to imagine a JB store without it. It’s entrenched in JB Hi-Fi’s heritage, an integral part of the retail experience, and continues to drive this particular ‘hunter’ in-store, week-in-week-out. You just never know what you might unearth. Paul Jones, Editor-in-Chief
