I'll be travelling to London on the 17th of October, and I'm wondering where to go for records. Any shops that have a lot of goth music? Camden Town?

Camden for sure, and I think the full market is there Saturday and Sunday only.

Thanks :notworthy:
There's always the possibility that organizers of the Stockholm poetry festival give me tickets to a wrong airplain ;D
But now - ladies and gentlemen - let's return to LONDON :von:

Good goth records to be found in Resurection Records in the basement of some dodgy clothing shop on Camden High St. Haven't been there for about 4 years, so don't even know if it is still there.

Also try the Music and Video Exchange in Notting Hill area.

would also recommend these two stores, and Resurection records is still there. Berwick Street just off Oxford Street also has quite a large number of record shops, Sister Ray is down there and is good.

Yeah, you've got Selectadisc down there. i got the Anaconda and Alice 7" there for 50p each about 5 years back.

If you happen to wander around the country, Leicester has some fantastic 2nd hand record shops and there are some good shops in Loughborough as well.

Damn! Why didn't I know anything about it when I lived 2 weeks in Leicester in '97? :urff:
But I hope to come back one day :wink:

@EricSweden - there's Stockholm Poetry Festival or something on the 1st of December. I think I'll arrive on Saturday, 29th of November (at least that person who called me asked me to do that) and leave Stockholm on the 2nd of December... But I'm not sure yet. As far as I know I will be the only one from Estonia. Any cunning plans? :wink:

OK, i know this has nothing to do with anything on topic but, why do you say "lester" instead of Lei-cess-ter, i always wondered about that...

same reason we say Wouster instead of Worcester

ERIC, I knew today the organizers of the Stockholm event mixed anything up and in fact I will be there on the 17th of November (not on the 1st of December).

It's a contraction. Compare it to the pronunciation of "Wednesday", for instance.

November 17? Cool. Drop me a PM and I might be able to meet you too. If I'm not in Leeds as planned.

Sehr Schön :notworthy:
I hope I have some spare time during those days :wink:
By the way, guys, I didn't mean so much record shops offering gothic music, rather any market, second hand shop or something where I could find any Sisters item :roll:

Are you looking for CD bootlegs or vinyl records?

CD bootlegs are on the first place.
Yes, it may sound weird but I have only one Sister vinyl (between the "Life" book, thanks to... you know who you are :notworthy: ).
I havn't started with them (yet?).

Best bets might be Frizzle Records and Mellotronen, conveniently located nextdoors to each other in the old town. Underground station "Gamla Stan". Frizzle usually stocks TSOM boots, Mellotronen might have from time to time. Then around the corner from Mellotronen there is Sound Pollution, mostly metal, but with a decent goth assortment as well. No boots there, however, and probably no Sisters.
