Back in stock on vinyl Bruce Springsteen’s classic stripped back album ‘Nebraska’.

Subject of the recent film ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’, ‘Nebraska’ is one of the most haunting and stripped-down albums in rock history. Released in 1982, it’s very different from his more energetic records with the E Street Band. Instead of full band arrangements, most songs are just Springsteen’s voice, acoustic guitar, harmonica, and simple recording equipment.

Springsteen originally recorded the songs as demo tapes at home on a 4-track recorder.

The plan was to re-record them with the band, but the demos had such a raw, eerie mood that he decided to release them almost exactly as they were.

🌪 CYCLONE UPDATE – WE’RE OPEN TODAY! 🌪

Hey Rockaway family, we originally announced we’d be closed due to Cyclone Alfred, but with the latest updates pushing its impact to early Saturday morning, we’ve decided to OPEN TODAY (Friday) from 9 AM – 1 PM while the weather is still manageable.

If you're out and about, come in for a browse before things turn wild! Harry Hartog bookstore right next door is also open, so it’s a great chance to grab some music, collectables, and a good book before hunkering down for the storm.

Stay safe, and we’ll keep you posted on further updates! ⚡🌧

Rockaway even has your socks covered!

The Official Sock Code, A Rockaway Guide : How to Wear Your Socks Like a Pro

🧦Always Wear Two Socks (Unless You’re a Rebel)
One sock on each foot is classic, two on one foot is bold, and none is just plain risky. Pick your lane, but know this: two is the gold standard.

🧦Matching Socks are Highly Recommended (But Not Required)
Life’s too short to be stressed about matching socks. As long as you have two, you’re good. But if you’re reaching for David Bowie on one foot and Ozzy Osbourne on the other, be prepared for questions about your creative process.

🧦Clean Socks Only
This might seem obvious, but here we are. If your socks can stand up by themselves, they probably need a vacation (in the washing machine).

🧦No Borrowing Socks Without a Signed Agreement
Borrowing socks is a delicate social agreement. Best not attempted unless you're prepared to buy the borrower a replacement set or keep reminding them they owe you socks forever.

🧦Sock Removal in Public – Proceed with Caution
Unless you’re at the beach, taking off your socks in public is a serious commitment. Once they’re off, they might not go back on. Choose wisely.

🧦Respect the Funky Sock Law
If your socks have food, animals, or words on them, people will stare. It’s your duty to embrace this with pride and possibly a prepared backstory for those curious about why you have yellow submarines on your feet.

Remember, wearing socks isn’t just about covering your feet—it’s about making a statement.
