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

:thumbsup: 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, :lol: DAVE KIL

Thanks for all the great recommendations. I haven't been to London since 2004 and at that time I was looking for CD's.

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 went there last year pulled a load out and they wouldnt let me listen to em try before u buy so I just walked out wankers :wanker:

There's still a couple of shops in Hanway St (runs between one end of Oxford St and Tottenham Court Rd). 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?
