Second hand vinyl shops in London?

[Driller]

Got a French friend who's into classic rock and going to London soon. He asked if I could recommend any good record shops for this kind of thing. Any ideas?

[Driller]

Could a Moderator possibly move this to the Lounge to get more exposure as it's more of a shop question than a music one really. Thanks

"Sister Ray" in Berwick st, soho

Plus there are another couple down there (don't know the names tho)

Bottom end carnaby st, turn left you'll find it

Thanks for moving the topic Mods whoever it was and thanks for the info Gavin, I'll pass that on. By the sound of it he'll find his bon heure in that neck of the woods

Yep, thirded on Sister Ray.

There used to be two cracking little shops in Hanway Street opposite the Dominion in Tottenham Court Road, but I'd imagine they've long since gone.

Remember hearing The Gift by the Velvet Underground in one of them in the early '80s and being blown away by it.

Only a short walk away is On the Beat(?) in Hanway Street just off Oxford Street.

Or sit in a good pub with laptop and a pint and do it all online.

What exactly is 'Classic Rock' these days?

The new Rush album is being released via Classic Rock Magazine, but as a now 44 year old they wouldn't have initially sprung to my mind as 'classic rock - I suppose mainly due to me still being locked in my school days time warp.

Do I really have to let go and start calling all my 80's favs 'classic rock'????

[Driller]

Blimey, thanks for all the info chaps, looks like he's going to be busy all weekend!

Should have mentioned by "classic" I meant 60s and 70s. Cheers for the heads up for the Rush album BTW, I've got Snakes and Arrows but didn't know they had another coming out already.
