Hi there.
I'm going to visit London next Summer.
Can you please list some record shops to find some promo/rare PSB items?

Thank you

Andrea

There's nowhere near the amount there used to be sadly, but you still might be able to find something interesting down Berwick Street (goes between Oxford Street and Soho). Sister Ray Records is about your best bet down there.
Also make your way to Notting Hill gate and look for Music and Video Exchange.

A Londoner will be able to give you a much better idea of what's still around.

:D

As far as I know they closed their little shop near Soho and took over the old Selectadisc premises a bit further up the street ?


Agh ! I think you're right, looks like they've gone too ... sniff ! :cry:

I hear Andy Bell is desperately selling off knicknacks from his basement flat. It's an hour's train ride out of London, but I'd bet he'd be amenable to some haggling over his tear-stained PSB records.
