Newer Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I second Eldica, best shop I have been in for a long time. Lots of Reggae and Soul 45's. Old Spitalfields record show is a MUST if you have the chance 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Fiftyboiledeggs Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Roy's Records on Brick lane on Sunday gets good disco stuff. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Thecivilservice Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 My honest advice about London record shops is don't waste your time, forget about records and enjoy London for a week Not unless you are happy to pay top prices and often for overgraded discs There are better options for record shops in almost any other major city of the UK except London.

Joel E Turner Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 Thx....will have a wary eye on prices. Believe I'll stop by SoulJazz for old times sake. And perhaps Third Man as my son lives in Detroit and likes the store there. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

When i moved back to London i was told there were no decent soul records to be had and those you would find would be trashed. Not what i have found at all.
