One of a dying breed of second hand record shops left in London. This one will probably go the same way, if the owner is to be believed, and i’m not really surprised.
They do stock a lot of different styles of music but their music knowledge seems to have stopped in about 1995. There is never any records from past this period in the sorted racked. Because of this you can find some bargains in the hundreds of £2 piles underneath the racks - that’s if you can be bothered to sort through them all and don’t mind sitting on the floor for a couple of hours.
If you combined this shop with Flashback’s knowledge (a few doors down) you would have a great record shop.
If you’re looking for rare records from before 1995 though they are excellent - you can normally pick them up for a decent price. And as the name says you can always haggle the price down as well.
