meh!!!!!
Went to Sister Ray which i found no good at all. Doesn't make records look good at all with photocopied covers...
Went to that second hand shop next door and found nothing interesting either , VERY expensive and random "filing". Impossible to find anything unless you have yr whole afternoon to flip through random records...
went to HMV for a laugh... and had a good laugh.
Went to Rough Trade West. Second hand downstairs was pretty shite and upstairs was kind of random too and just too small. Not many records and then more randomly sorted expensive cds...Enjoyed Portobello Road with the gf though.
Finally went to Rough Trade East ( that was far axay....) and that was by far the best record shop i went to. Found a couple of cool Lps i was more or less looking for for a very reasonable price but this is it.
On the last day we went to Camden and lots of cool second hand record shops seem to have vanished since my last time there (er 15 years ago...)
found a couple of little shops in the Lock which stored terrible Mexican Joy Divison pressings (CLOSER in Fluoresent YELLOW!!!!! JUST HOW IRRELEVANT IS THAT????????) and some cool stuff that i found too expensive. so yeah lots of shops and two records bought, but hey i kind of knew it.
Would gladly go back to Rough Trade east though, I really enjoyed that one. Lots of books, I'll go back on my own one of these days.
Super cool love trip btw. Well-deserved and a great time in that cool hotel near Hyde Park just off oxford. Went to the Tate Modern (which was shit too but hey wanted to go there for a while too.... Had some uber cool pub food and cider&black. Just a great little trip.
Thanks for the tips everybody.
