Record stores?    Yep go straight to HMV in Oxford Street, forgo all
others, do not spend more than 100 pounds.....   And don't bother with
Virgin (IMO) - still there might be something worth finding there, you
never know

There are, however, a couple of smaller 2nd hand shops round the back of
Oxford Street at the HMV end.  Go up a little lane called Hannway Street
and pay attention to everything you find there.   Vinyl Solutions (I
think that's their name) is the best known but there's a dingy one next
door to it (whose name I always forget but invariably holds lost and
wondrous rarities in its shady recesses) - although it only ever opens
at mysterious times of its own, never to be deduced by the unsuspecting
Gen. Public.   There's a third one nearer the Oxford Street end that
used to be good but is now more general and popular in terms of its
stock.

Have fun
