Worth a look perhaps is massive second hand store, Beanos - Middle Street,
Croydon, CR0 1RE (020) 8680 1202 - It's on 3 floors, they claim to have 2 million records, and probably do. Electronic stuff is on the second floor.
By train from London: From London Victoria Mainline Station (platforms 16-19), take the fast train to East Croydon (15 minutes). Turn RIGHT out of East Croydon Station and follow the tram tracks straight ahead until you reach the main shopping area. With Barclays Bank on your right, head down the hill (Crown Hill), Middle Street is the FIRST turning on the left (before Surrey Street Market).

Note: East Croydon Station is only a short journey from London Gatwick Airport on the main London line.

Those details + a map are on this page.
Croydon is Zone 6.

There were another couple of second hands stores very near there (Frith Road, Drummond Road) but wherther they are still around I'm not sure.

Swagrecords 42 Station Road, Croydon, Surrey. CR0 2RB (020) 8681 7735 is in that area too, just at the side of West Croydon station. Mostly new stock, lists here
-

Rat Records - 348 Camberwell New Road, SE5 0RW (020) 7274 3222 - Next to Camberwell Green. Varied diverse second hand stock. Bargains in the basement. 10 minutes from Loughborough Junction overground station, or a similar length journey on a bus from Elephant and Castle underground (68, 468 buses + others). Maybe 15 minutes from Oval tube. Camberwell is Zone 2.

A long standing quality shop, emphasis on independent music of all kinds, is Rough Trade - two locations - 130 Talbot Road, London W11 1JA (020) 7229 8541 (Ladbroke Grove or Notting Hill Gate tube, Zone 2) and 16 Neal's Yard, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9DP (020) 7240 0105 (In the basement of Slam City Skates. Covent Garden, Leicester Square or Tottenham Court Road tube, Zone 1).
I prefer the Ladbroke Grove shop, it's less hectic by far and in my experience the staff there are thoroughly decent. Plus it has windows, which is nice.
-

Lastly but not leastly, and strangely yet unmentioned is
Smallfish, probably the best outlet of new electronic vinyl left, as far as i know. Organic food in the basement, twats left right and centre. 329, Old Street, London EC1V 9LE (020) 7739 2252 (Old Street, Liverpool Street, or Shoreditch tube). Zone 1

...

Mr. Bongo on Poland Street closed down last year or the year before.

Sellanby Discs & Tapes, 245 Northolt Road, South Harrow, Middlesex. Tel: 020-8864-2622. Nearest tube South Harrow Station on the Picadilly line. Turn left out of the station and its a few doors down on the same side of the road, it has a big yellow sign!
This shop has been running for fifty years, dealing in secondhand music from rock to reggae to ragtime! With an excellent vinyl section (which I notice is growing, hooray), hardly any dance though, I regularly see original Beatles, Stones LPs, also interesting folk, reggae and blues LPs are always turning up in there. Some very nice and rare records. They also sell CDs, videos & DVDs, all secondhand and all at good prices, I bought a chart CD in there for a fiver in perfect condition! The staff are friendly and really knowledgeable too, I hope it goes on for another 50 years! :-)

Reckless Records
26 Berwick Street

Reckless is a chain of second-hand shops that buy, sell,and exchange cds, dvds, videos and vinyl we pay top prices -cash or exchange.

A bit of advice from a former customer...

If you order online and don't get the complete order make sure they don't charge you the full amount.

thanks hextatic added select a disc just now...more to follow:)

For the third time, Selectadisc is gone from Berwick Street! It's now Sister Ray.

Apparantly Beano's is closing down. There's a 20% off clearing sale on though, might be worth checking if some gems haven't been picked up yet.

sorry for the delay have done some updates..
keep em comin':)
checked all links btw, mad records.net's bit weird,i'll check it again though

PLASTIC FANTASTIC Now closed:((

an awesome shop, boxes of records you could spend all day there with tons of stuff only a £

Beanos is closing? Any idea when?

http://www.beanos.co.uk/pdfs/closingdownupdate.pdf

They don't know yet, basically.

EVERYWHERE the record shops are closing!! I would double check every shop listed on here before you go there, because even in the last month quite a few have shut down across London!
People get on your bikes and go and buy from your local friendly independent record shop before we lose them all and then have to pay crazy prices online for stuff which was a fraction of the the cost in the shops!
You can't beat going into a shop and spending hours looking through all the stuff, it's a lot more fun than clicking a mouse!
So do it now before it's too late! You'll miss them when they are all gone, the death knell is sounding!!!!

..the City Sounds link dosnt work, has another shop bitten the dust???:(

just saw a thread in the electronic music forum.

Reckless records in Berwick has bit the dust and closed down.

your local record shop before they all die out!

Three record shops have shut on Berwick Street in the past three months or so, and Reckless in Camden is gone too. I would try and ring before going to any record shop listed for London right now, so many are closing and you may have a wasted journey otherwise.

Gipsyeyes
Three record shops have shut on Berwick Street in the past three months or so, and Reckless in Camden is gone too.

Reckless in Camden closed well over a year ago (Angel went some time before that). What three closed in Berwick Street? If you count Reckless as two shops, OK, but if you mean Selectadisc, then that's now Sister Ray and the old Sister Ray is still a record shop (can't what it's called).

It was in a trade mag last week, Reckless made the announcement themselves about the two shops only recently closing. If the information is wrong then I apologise, but it did come from a usually reliable source :-)

Someone's opened a shop in one of the former Berwick street Reckless places. I need to bring a pen and paper with me next time I go down there and take notes!

I think it's something revival.

Oh really? Second hand or new? Any particular style they stock? I might be heading over that way on Saturday, so I can always report back if no-one knows.

Already had a mention above, but Rough Trade East is the new one at

'Dray Walk'
Old Truman Brewery
91 Brick Lane
London
E1 6QL

T: 020 7392 7788

I was in there today, picked up a nice few bits I'd been after for a while. They've a good-ish selection of techno/electronica, a good Basic Channel/R&S section. They've an electro section which I looked through, and didn't see anything I recognised, so I'll assume it's electro-house. It is in Brick Lane after all. There's loads of Jazz/Funk/Soul in various formats (including a pretty large 7" section), lots of rock/punk/noise, clothes, books, a cafe selling decent espresso, free internet access. It's without doubt the largest indie record shop I've ever been into (no problem getting the pram in and out, disabled access too), although I was a bit disappointed with the amount of music available. A shop that size crammed with vinyl would be heaven on Earth. I didn't have time to explore fully though, as the missus was getting impatient in the cafe section. It was definitely worth the trip, and I'll be going back soon, no doubt.

Oh yeah and there was another shop I ed on the way, Hanbury Street maybe? Can't the name, and I didn't go in (pram wasn't going to fit through the door, let alone up the tiny aisles), but I had a good peek through the window. It looked to be second hand, the sections I saw were World, Greensleeves, Jazz, and I saw a couple of Funkadelic records in the window which seemed cheap. I'll have to go back without the pram to have a proper look, but it looked promising, if you had a few hours to kill digging.

Please note that BLACK MARKET RECORDS is now called BM SOHO.

Someone's opened a shop in one of the former Berwick street Reckless places. I need to bring a pen and paper with me next time I go down there and take notes!

It's called Cautious Records if I recall correctly.

Revival Records is the name of what was Reckless Soul & Dance on Berwick st. It's run by a bunch of the old Reckless staff and sells 2nd hand vinyl and CDs.

OK, thanks, are they still as unhelpful and expensive as they used to be? I may pop in there on Saturday to find out for myself.

They from the indie / rock reckless? I think the asian guy that use to be in reckless is now at the exchange. It's ok in there some bits overpriced, while others quite cheap.
Don't think much of the rough trade website though, they have things listed that aren't in stock, which is quite irritating, would like out the shop though. Just so busy down them parts, puts me off.

Im adding another reccommendation for Rough Trade Records.

I only went to the one on Portobello road, but they had some great stuff. Lots of new vinyl, but some old gems as well.

up the street from them was Intoxica I believe, and that place was really great. I found a bunch of Residents and Gall there.

I popped into Revival Records (previously Reckless) on Saturday, and found it to be run on a lower scale than before.

This I mean in of number of records sold (less than before), but also the variety. They really didn't have much in the way of rare items, as they used to have in the past.

Saying that, the prices are lower now than when it was Reckless, and staff reasonably friendly...didn't recognise any of the old staff there.

Whilst I was there, which was probably for an hour or so mid-afternoon on Saturday, there were hardly any people in the store....total contrast to before, when the place would be mobbed ...

Hi everybody...

as i'm visiting london during the next time i'm looking for good second hand stores selling harcore, happy hardcore and drum n bass... you know some?

thanks in advance...

greetz

risk

I haven't been to London since 2003, but the good second hand stores for D&B/jungle/hardcore were:

Reckless Camden
Reckless Soho
Music & Video Exchange Camden
Music & Video Exchange Soho
Music & Video Exchange Notting Hill

I'd be curious to know where the good spots are nowadays, too.

.

A lot of shops... I can't visit them all in one day. Please help me out here.

1) The shop can't be to far from central London. I wanna take the tube, but I'm not going to take the train.
2) The shop sells electronic music on vinyl.
3) It's a damn good shop.
4) Please don't mention the shops in Soho or Camden... been there, done that.

Can someone help me out, please?

Thanx!

As was mentioned, Music & Video Exchange in Notting Hill.

Beanos is closing? Any idea when?

Beano's is still alive and kicking, albeit reduced in size to one floor. Same location - Middle St, Croydon

There's a pretty decent little shop about 5 minutes walk North from the Rough Trade East "alternative megastore".

I came out of it with loads of stuff last time I was in... Nothing too "underground" but decent selections of second hand vinyl, mostly at "sensible" prices. Clearance Racks as well. Plenty to dig through for an hour or so !!

Strongest on Rock, Funk/Soul. Sections for Electronic/Dance music and other stuff of course, but I wouldn't say it was a strength.

Shop's called Beats Workin' (93-95 Sclater St, London E1 6HR - Tel. 0207 729 8249. Link.

the old Sister Ray is still a record shop (can't what it's called).

That would be "Vinyl Junkies".

One of the exchanges in Notting Hill is all guitar music.

Resurrection Records, Camden High Street. (between Camden Market and Camden Lock).

There's also a specialist metal store just up from Resurrection (heading away from the station). Never been in it myself, but my metalhead sister has.

Soho is the area for records!!!!
Trust! Ya heard???

i'm just interested in regular stuff. no dance just some out of print pop. I collect single cd's. what's the best place to go in london? I used to go to the big megastores like HMV, Tower and Vrigin but they hardly have any cd singles anymore.. I saw that Tower and Virgin also have a new name I don't anymore, something like zavi..

Any news of record shops in London ?? Thanks

Can someone recommend a London shop specialized in disco funk boogie stuff?

My friend has a unit out in Walthamstow, East London. It's called Village Vinyl. It has alot of disco, funk and boogie stuff. Give him a ring on - 07884433028 (Jake)

Music Video Exchange has a large stock of 2nd hand vinyl. There's one in SoHo and one In Camden, both are worth a visit.
In SoHo a lot of record stores are located within a couple of streets, should keep you occupied for at least half a day.

yep Music Video Exchange is good they also have a store in Birmingham.

Can someone recommend a London shop specialized in disco funk boogie stuff?

Excuse the spammy post, but seriously, check out the store I posted, several posts above if you're in London. One very large section of the shop is stocked with disco, funk, soul, boogie etc aswell as lots of jazz, reggae & dub, pop, synth-pop, rock, punk, indie, metal, hip-hop etc

And a big secondhand section of house, techno, oldschool, electronic etc

Closed on mondays only. Tell the owner that the store was recommended by John (teknonutter) & you never know, might get a bigger discount.

[quote=georgeibrahim][/quote]

iv found them good for classic house, old skool & jungle/dnb however compared to the London stores their no where near as good. i did get a copy of Shut Up & Dance - Death Is Not The End - 1992 Shut Up And Dance Records/SUADLP 05 in unplayed condition for £10 from their Birmingham store :o)

Hi, i go to london 4 day; Can someone recommend a London shop specialized in techno-trance-oldschool year 92/93/94/95/96 ? Thanks.

Can someone recommend a London shop specialized in techno-trance-oldschool year 92/93/94/95/96

There's plenty of cheap house & trance, both in the normal piles/crates & in the bargain boxes of the shop I mention above. Half price sales on everything for 4 days from the 8th of Jan. Lots more oldskool, hardcore, techno etc in its own sections, it's worth a check, believe me :)

Hi,

any hints on stores with a stock of late 1970s - early 1980s reggae 12" pressings?

Was going to head down as have never been there, but don't fancy the huge journey for nothing.

Check that store I mentioned for reggae, as half of their stock is reggae, roots, dub, lover's rock, rocksteady, ska etc 12", 7" etc give them a call before you get there to see what's in. But also check the exchanges in Notting Hill, Camden, Soho. Check out Crazybeat aswell, they sell reggae too.

I'll be in London between next Friday and Monday.

A quick suggestion for shops selling USED ELECTRONIC CD's ? I'll not have much time to go around, will be located near Russel Square, but all suggestions are welcome :)

anything new in London ?

Cheers.

UP !!

I've got a feeling that a new record shop has opened on Church Street, Stoke Newington. There used to be a book shop close to Nando's, which had records in the back. The book shop shut down and I've got a feeling that the guy that did the records has taken over the space. The records were always reasonably priced and I've had some totally classic finds in the backroom before, including 3 unplayed copies of the aril brikha clear vinyl (100 copies only), just before the book shop shut down. I'll let you know more information later this week, as I'll take a detour that way home one evening.

Good luck !!!!!!!!!

That would be shweet. Like to know what styles they're selling too.

Many Thanks....

ed by tonight. it's all good...

they have a variety of styles in stock - electronica, dance, drum and bass, jazz, hip hop, a whole box of brand new reggae 7"s and some cds.

please these guys, i think it's really brave to open a shop in the current climate.

respect !

Ok .Thanks again

Best regards

If I'd visit London, what would be THE record shop for techno vinyls?

hi, can you be more specific?

new techno - perhaps phonica, followed by a quick look in sister-ray. then on to the second hand stores in berwick street.

second hand / collectors techno - the record and tapes exchanges (depending on where you are in london) and alan's i suppose.

any advances on that, anyone anyone?

i know it's unusual to reveal digging spots but i went to nudge records in brick lane today and was pleasantly surprised.

http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/tower-hamlets/spitalfields/record-shops/nudge-e16qr.html

there was a good range of stuff across the board including some good house and garage bits at 2.99, some nice drum and bass (with some rare looking 10" dubs with the name swift stamped on them) and three large rows of reggae 12"s. unfortunately i didn't have time to have a proper dig through but if anyone has a chance to visit please leave some .

Hi going to London soon again.
Soo, I want too dig thru used cds and records.about
I know about the exchanges and i´m kinda tired of those.
Where should I go instead ?

I´m after electronic music.

thanks // F

Try Alan's above, he's brought new stock in, including tech-house, trance, techno, acid, Robert Hood, Jeff Mills etc

Thanks !

And where is it located ?

Ah excellent !!

Thanks a lot !!!

what would be the top 3-5 2nd hand record stores for old dance records (80s disco, funk, techno, house, electro, etc.)

This weekend i go on a trip to London.

I'm looking for recordstores with a lot of new and/or 2nd hand vinyl (Rave, Hardcore, Industrial Hardcore, Acidcore etc.)

Who could help me?

the styles you mention, especially ind. techno and acidcore, are becoming increasing hard to locate here in london. your best bet is to locate one of the second hand stores mentioned above and dig for your life.

the exchange in berwick street and alan's in east finchley would be my recommendations. good luck !!!

do any of the london based oggers fancy updating the top list with me. i'm absolutely clueless as to how to do it though, so we need someone who knows the system.

get in touch - woofhard_one
