Guest Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Hello. I'm going to be in London next month and was hoping for some recommendations for shops selling some Northern Soul. Especially interested in 7 inch reissues or original pressings. Thanks
Guest Ollie Lailey Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 In central london SOUNDS OF THE UNIVERSE 7 Broadwick Street Soho London W1F 0DA England i think there are also a couple of other shops in that area, sometimes you can get some nice bits.
Britmusicsoulfan Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Hiya, I'd check out Soul Brother Records in East Putney. The tube is only a couple of blocks away. Great store (I was there in March). www.soulbrother.com
Guest cheryl Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 There's a good record shop in camden across rd from tube station, I've had some good finds there its got 2 floors of records so be prepared to rummage

Guest Ollie Lailey Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 if you fancy a trip out to the south east london suburbs you could go to rollin records in West Wickham https://www.rollinrecordsuk.com/shop.html run by a nice fellow called Steve.
dthedrug Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Portobello road normally turns something up and you can pop into INTXICA ask the bloke to let you have a look in his soul boxes, in fact you should do that always in second hand record shops? act knowledgeable when asking don't make a pratt out of yourself? "have you got any 6ts soul to look at please mate?" don't ask for the £250 sound the whole country after, Covent Garden a pleasant walk about Camden is dear? off Oxford st Hannaway st there used to-be 3 shops down there, Wednesday Spitalfields Market plenty of stall and you can have a pint in the 10 Bells, DAVE KIL

Guest Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks for all the great recommendations. I haven't been to London since 2004 and at that time I was looking for CD's.
Cheapsiderecords Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Record and Tape Exchange in Camden is OK as well. Quite a large selection of Soul 45's in the basement last time I was there. There were also a couple of units inside the market across the road selling vinyl.

I was there last month when a guy from Washington walked in with a little stack of 45's that he was selling to fund his visit. While you're in that area it's worth checking out the multitude of shops in and around Berwick St - they're closing down at a rate of knots due to increased rents but worth a look anyway and I've found a couple of bits in Vinyl Junkies on more than one occassion. Spitalfields Market used to be alternate Wednesdays, but I'm sure someone told me recently that it had changed to a different day. Can anyone confirm?
