Records Shops In London Area

[THUNDER]

HI,

I'm french and I'm looking for the second hand records (vinyl) in LONDON area.

I know the music exchange in CAMDEN and NOTHING HILL but have you more good adresses to give me. I know you had already talk about this but now in 2008 probably some of them are closed.

Thanx for your answers and sorry for my wrong english

 

[The_Reverend_M]

There's another Video & Music Exchange in Berwick St, off Oxford St.

 

[THUNDER]

Thanx !

I know this record shop too. But someone tell me there is more record shop near Berwick isn't there ?

And others good adress or good charity shops ?

 

[twister]

Do you not have google in France?

 

[THUNDER]

Yes but a lot of record shops felt down now and probably there is little record shops in London area not recensed by Google.

So is there someone to help me for record shops in London? and charity shops where there is many records ?


Or a very good second hand record shop in other town in England ?

 

[Dan U]

Beano's in Croydon (used to be Europe's largest) http://www.beanos.co.uk/
Sister Ray in Berwick Street http://www.sisterray.co.uk

Plus a few other shops around Berwick Street.

Always worth a look in charity shops as well!

try discogs, it's much better for old vinyl

no substitute for a good flick through a rack.

(oo-er)

 

[DJWrongspeed]

Nudging the Nudge

Nudge Records down on Habury st. always worth popping in even if just to listen to what's on the deck.

Sister Ray in Berwick Street http://www.sisterray.co.uk

Plus a few other shops around Berwick Street.

And Sounds of the Universe, just round the corner in Broadwick Street: http://www.soundsoftheuniverse.com/.

If punk's your thing, then All Ages Records near Mornington Cresent tube is the place: http://www.allagesrecords.com/.

 

[skyscraper101]

Try "Cheapo Cheapo Records" on Rupert Street

Loads of vinyl, CDs, DVDs...mostly second hand and definitely not a trendy shop but worthy of an hour or two of your time.

 

[THUNDER]

try discogs, it's much better for old vinyl

Do you have exact adress ?

 

[jugularvein]

discogs.com

 

[THUNDER]

Thanx for all !!

and some good adresses for CHARITY SHOPS ? cause I see some OXFAM CHARITY CHOPS but there wasn't very good for records.


And in other town ?

 

[jugularvein]

camden has about four on the high street towards mornington crescent

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Intoxica in Notting Hill as well.

 

[THUNDER]

And SELECTORS MUSIC EMPORIUM in BRIXTON (south London) is ever open ?

and is there a lot of records ? What kind of music ?

 

[tendril]

I believe that This Oxfam specialises in second hand music

 

[THUNDER]

Thanx Tendril

And in another town ?

In CROYDON is there more record shops (whithout BEANOS ) ?

 

[THUNDER]

[El Jefe]

And SELECTORS MUSIC EMPORIUM in BRIXTON (south London) is ever open ?

and is there a lot of records ? What kind of music ?

Opens in the afternoon / early evening. Mostly reggae and dancehall, with some R&B and hip hop etc. Amazing stock if you love dancehall / bashment , otherwise I wouldn't bother

 

[Dan U]

Thanx Tendril

And in another town ?

In CROYDON is there more record shops (whithout BEANOS ) ?

Sadly not as many as there once was

SWAG is still open near the bus garage http://www.swagrecords.biz/shop/index.asp

101 Records on Keeley Road is still open i think

 

[THUNDER]

Thanx for your answers and in another town in ENGLAND do you know a really good record shop for second hand records (not reissues) ?

 

[Dan U]

what kind of madness is this

you either have loads of money and a big van to drive around the UK collecting vinyl.

or you have a vendetta against vinyl and a load of petrol and some matches

 

[THUNDER]

NO

I wanna go only to right place and I don't want to loose my time going to records shops felt down that's why I ask these infos

So if someone tell me in BRISTOL , BIRMINGHAM, LEEDS or SHEFFIELD or other town there is a very good record shop I will probaably go to these towns to visit them & look for records too.

The most important problem now in 2008 is that records shops are gone.


And I have another question is there some good fairs for records in England ?

Thanx for your help
