For Record Store Day, Charlotte Ryan visits a musical hidden gem in Christchurch – Ride On Super Sound.

The unusually shaped building is centred by a Pyramid full of records, comics, zines, and sits above a popular bar, Smash Palace. 

She speaks to JOHNNY ELECTRIC, one of the co-owners and the man responsible for cutting lathes in the store for customers.
