Janne, Here's a list of my favourite record shops around town. For what you want, you are best off visiting Smallfish and Atlas (vinyl only), then Ambient Soho and Rough Trade. For older stuff, Reckless soho or Music and Video Exchange Camden which are excellent second hand shops.
Selectadisc, Reckless, Sister Ray, MVE (Soho), Ambient Soho and Atlas are all within easy walking distance of each other. Not too far to walk from there is Rough Trade, Covent Garden but check the website as it's well hidden in the basement of a skate shop in a little courtyard. Click on the street names to get to a map. It's well worth finding! Also, take the time go out to Smallfish, it's truly excellent.

To those who care, apologies for the html format mail, there were some rather too long hyperlinks to put in plain text, they would have been broken up into several lines each. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janne J M Vanhanen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2000 9:18 AM Subject: Re: [313] London Record shops > > Any record store tips for a London visitor with very little vinyl hunting > time in his hands?
