Doowopshopper Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Hi! Visiting a friend, I'll be in London for a weekend soon - haven't been there for years... What are the best (2nd hand) record stores at the moment? Any other tipps - flea markets, charity shops? Thanks for helping! Chris
Guest Tezrez Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Hi did this back in February, went to a soul gig and they gave me a few shops, Intoxica Portobello road where the market is, he is a bit pricey but had some rare Tamla Motown I wanted though and spent £200 and gave 10% when spending that money.Next was Hanway Street back of Oxford St. and then Berwick St Soho, but ask again at the shops. Look on net for exact addresses. Thanks Tez
Olliewtf Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 its always imo crap buying northern from shops nowadays, usually all just charity fodder and overpriced, but. there are two shops which seem to retain some classic record buying feel, and theyre right next to each other... just off of oxford st, as mentioned in above post, hanway street. managed to find a copy of rita lee salvation which satisfied my record shopping for that day! everywhere else in that area doesnt really deal with proper soul... if oyur in south east london, theres a shop in camberwell which isnt awful, and two places in greenwich, one being a musicvideo exchange, the other a nice little mod clothing and record shop with fantastic reissues and new LP's, recommended if you dont just want rare soul on orig. format... some of his compilation LPs are great. theres meant to be a place in south west, soul brother records in putney, which i think is Londons best offering for cheap, qualtiy soul vinyl . check out their inventory online, its exhaustive!
wiganpotter Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Crazy beat in Upminster . 5 min walk from The tube . With another great website , we'll worth a visit Brian .
Jnixon Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 the clueless cocky fools in all of the tape/record exchanges are constantly missing zeros of stuff. Camden shop.
Doowopshopper Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks for you help! I hadn't reall enough time for shopping but however found a small shop in Camden and at least found some Reggae stuff... Nevertheless, it was great to take a trip to England again... Cheers Chris
