I've definitely accumulated a big chunk of techno from there over the years too Matt. I'd forgotten they even had another shop on the same road, but yes, they did!
The one still open is ths smaller one you hit first from Oxford Street.

Is that store the smaller of the two they used to have? Will have to get back there soon, it was always my favourite record store - I reckon about 30% of my collection came from there...

Berwick Street, London W1, is still more or less the Capital's record-shop mecca, despite the decline in vinyl sales this decade. Try Music & Video Exchange at 95 Berwick Street, London: Telephone 020 7434 2939<tel:020%207434%202939>. They're excellent, even if their website appears to be busted. Reckless Records http://is.gd/mCxTuA And to a slightly lesser extent Sister Ray http://is.gd/hiAQO5 All are on the same road, all have a great history and hopefully, future. Good luck and enjoy!

Next week I'm travelling to London (from Holland). Part of my trip will be some record-hunting ;) It's been long since I've visited London and I'm afraid I've lost track of all the good (second hand) record stores in London (I know there were quit a few in and around Soho area) Do any of you have tips for where to find those nice record stores? Any other tips regarding music, good exhibits etc.. are also welcome Thanks!
