Record shops



At the moment I listed London shops only, but watch out for a list of stores everywhere in the indie-pop-world.

London

Most tourists will go to the megastores first: Virgin Megastore (corner of Oxford St and Tottenham Court Road), HMV (Oxford St. northside east of Oxford circus and another one Oxford St. southside, west of Oxford circus) and Tower Records (at Piccadilly Circus). You may take a look at these shops but don't expect to find anything special. Try the SALE sections otherwise they are too expensive and don't have what you're looking for. You also find lots of tourist at Rough Trade's Original shop (at 130 Talbot Road off Portobello Road) and at a second store (at 16 Neals Yard near Convent Garden) Sometimes bands are playing here in the afternoon, check out the bulletin board in the shop. Then there is Vinyl Experience (18 Hanway St. behind the Virgin Megastore in Oxford Street). The second Vinyl Experience in (3 Buck St off Camden High Street.) closed down. Go downstairs at Rhythm, (281 Camden High St). Sister Ray, Reckless Records (2nd Hand only) and Select-A-Disc are all in Berwick St in Soho off Oxford Road. Vinyl Solution in 231 Portobello Road, go to this one before you go to Rough Trade because it is about 10% cheaper and the have vinyl only (cool). But before buying any new stuff go to the Record, Tape and Video Exchanges, 2nd hand only shops. where you can find everything if you're lucky.(36 and 38 Notting Hill Gate and 28 and 30 Pembrigde Rd. all close together in Notting Hill and another good one on 229 Camden High Street). If you still haven't found what you were looking for and still can stand record-shops, check out: Out On The Floor (Inverness Rd. /Camden), Cheapo Records (Rupert St. / Soho), Kensington Market (49-53 Kensington High Street), Camden Market (Camden High Street), and another Reckless Records (79 Upper St. / Islington)
