Hello All!

I'm sure this question has been asked before (sorry) BUT, I'm stepping over to london for a bit of head banging and vinyl shopping in a week or so (I'm in Devon), what is the best place to get choons, I'm talking about the places that have stuff you can't get online or any where else.

Any thoughts?

Thanks...

Ermm, ok, so I guess that means all the record shops in London aint all that! Thanks for responding people...

theres loads mate. bm soho is the obvious one, but theres loads of little independant ones to find gems in. i use banquet in kingston personally.

Thanks for that! I will def check it

This.

Big'n up youngsta from all of us at dsf, ask if he as any tps under the counter (private select), then get a shirt signed and sell it to alextheswede for some serious scratch. Proceed to buy more vinyl

The only others I know of are:
Chemical
Redeye records

And I don't know if they normal stores or just a warehouse/shipping establishment as I only ever used them for mailorder.

i found another little one in notting hill somewhere near the tube, had some good tunes in the rack.

Sounds of the Universe
BM Soho

there's tons around queensway as well, just on the main street around the tube. some of them are awesomely well stocked, well worth peeking into

and places in Soho like BM and Sister Ray are well worth a visit

Rough trade east in brick lane is worth checking out too

so jealous of london. the only real record shop in birmingham is hard to find records and lots of stuff i want is usually out of stock there. have to use discogs..

sister ray might not be a dubstep specialist but they have bits lurking in their racks that have been sold out elsewhere for ages...worth a look

i found some headhunter in there brand new from the album and it was the one with prototype on it....its proper rare pressing and essential for any decent dj

whats manchester saying for record shops? I'm hopefully moving up there soon, so wanna know where I'n going to be wasting my money.

i went to london the other week to buy records. came across this after visiting a few years ago. bought return ii space and skream tapped/dutch flowerz. nicely priced as well. tbh i don't know london record shops well at all. but this one is really worth checking out.

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.

In Brighton Rounder, Edgeworld and Rare Kind all worth a look for dubstep and related styles (grime, 'future' garage, bits of funky etc)
