Jason --
Soho is laden with record stores -- the original Reckless Records is there
-- I can't remember the street, but there must be four or five stores in a
few block radius. And in your travels, a scantily clad Eastern European
woman may try to entice you to go to one of the neighborhood sex clubs.
If you'll be in London over the weekend, check out Minus Zero, run by the
affable Bill Forsyth. It's not too far from the Portibello Road -- I think
it's only open on Friday and Sat. Look for its web site and get the info.
It's the first store I hit in London, and between my finds and Bill's
recommendations, I dropped about 80 pounds.
I also found some great stuff at HMV -- I think there's one on Oxford St. in
the shopping district.
You'll quickly discover that: 1) the tube makes so many things accessible,
and, 2) a lot of things are actually within pretty quick walking distance.
Have a great trip --
Mike
