On October 13, 2023, Melbourne’s own Camp Cope bid farewell with one final performance in front of an adoring, sold-out crowd at the iconic Sydney Opera House Concert Hall. Two years later, Run For Cover & Poison City Records have released The Final Show - Live at Sydney Opera House to commemorate this special moment of the band performing live for the last time. The vinyl version of this release features nine songs from the final performance, including tracks from each of the band’s adored albums. This includes songs like “Lost (Season One)” from their self-titled debut, along with tracks from 2018’s How to Socialise Make Friends and their 2022 swan song Running with the Hurricane. All of the pieces that make Camp Cope’s music so special are here - bass player Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich & Sarah Thompson’s drums once again fit perfectly together, with guitarist Jennifer Aslett providing even more moods behind vocalist Georgia Maq’s signature voice. The band isn’t alone, either - Julia Jacklin joins in on “The Screaming Planet” and a chorus of friends like Rin McArdle and Courtney Hartmann join in to sing-along on “Sing Your Heart Out” Camp Cope fittingly closes this final performance with “The Opener” - a song inspired by the unfortunate experience of being a band trying to fit into a sexist, male-dominated music scene. Hellmrich’s unmistakable bass line opens this final, expanded version of the song, which the band plays for over ten minutes. Joined by a chorus of friends on stage and an entire opera house filled with fans singing along, the song’s final lyrics about being initially dismissed feel like a prophecy fulfilled - “see how far we’ve come not listening to you.”

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
