it's very good for soul, funk, jazz & reggae etc and also has a decentish brazilian section. it's where the Soul Jazz label is based out of, you can get soul jazz stuff there for cheaper than elsewhere.

You don't see that many americans hanging around that part of town Saturnine and i should know as i lived there.

sonicl · 08.04.2006, 07:57 AM

Rough Trade's a bit too obvious to mention isn't it? But it must be mentioned, particularly the Notting Hill branch, which benefits from not being underground.

I used to love Intoxica on Portobello Road too, but they're terrible for expensiveness. They were about to sell me an SY bootleg 7" for £5 about six years ago and they suddenly decided that it should have been £40 so they put the price up. They still had the record four years later and were still asking £40 for it. May still have it too for all I know.

Because there aren't that many hotels or guided tours to choose from i assume.

Cantankerous · 08.04.2006, 08:04 AM

you don't get to see anything interesting on a tour bus, it's very boring.

T&B - yes i did.

porkmarras · 08.04.2006, 08:07 AM
