I'm having a trip to London this weekend and I'm wondering if you guys can advise me for some record shops. I am very enthusiastic about this as the last time I went there I spent quite a lot of money on records that are usually hard to find in western Europe-not to talk about the other side.
Besides all the odd library and private press rare records (
that you guys didn't yet find) I should admit that my heart equally warms up when it comes to 90s realeses like jungle, house, hip hop and so on.
Last time a friend of mine that was working in Brighton took me to some shops there and it was not bad at all. I found a lot of stuff that I really like and never had the chance to find them elsewhere for example. Also I remember a record shop near the train station that was closed but looked very interesting from the exterior (big collection of OSTs).
So what I know in London is the 2-3 record shops that are near Portobello Road Market and thats it.
I am not very familiar with the customs there and I am also wondering if it is ok to negociate the prices for bigger buys for example. Any other input about this little adventure is welcome!
