Yeah, I saw a few playing around the Ohio State Univ. A really lively scene from what I could tell.

record shopping while travelling can yield good surprises if you're willing to dig and be open to not look for something specific. that's how i found shellac's the futurist.

Yeah so Sister Ray have gone into administration and apparently they were pretty dodgy. One of their favourite tricks was hiding new releases and then selling them a few months later as 'rare items'.
Rough Trade is vastly superior. |

I rarely buy anything there, but I like a browse in Phonica, one street across from Berwick St. Rough Trade East is horrible. Like someone said earlier, soulless. That doesn't stop me from being fond of what I guess must now be called Rough Trade West though. Does anyone remember the record shop that was on Hanway Street, opposite the back doors to Virgin, many many years ago? Vinyl Experience, I think it was. That was good. |

yeah, no real specialisation in anything & expensive. i remember when they announced the opening of that place they said it was going to be on the scale of amoeba records, i.e. like this: ![]() HA! Turned out to be smaller than Sister Ray. |

I like the Ladbroke Grove Rough Trade, although I've not been there in years. I was never much of a fun of the Covent Garden one. It always felt a bit like an opticians to me for some reason.
The one off Brick Lane is horrible. Like an internet cafe or something. Totally uninspiring - and, as has been mentioned, expensive as fuck. I have to confess to be a massive fan of Fopp though. |
