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.
