Buying Vinyl Online - UK

Does anyone know of any good online record stores (UK) that they've used in the past that have been good?

I'm based in London and theres obviously a fair number of record stores in the area (Soho etc) but I was just wondering if anyone uses an online retailer to buy their records that they could suggest to me, as I've found a lot of sites that seem to sell only select records, while others seem to list alot, but have very few in stock.

'Ta' very much.

thanks tesco

for physical record shops I recomend Black Market down D'Arblay Street. Havnt been there for a few years but they always were the best for house and d+b.

I'm a legend in my own bedroom

lol, ah i see, what decks etc do you have, I've been looking into getting some 1210Mk2's, but they cost a small fortune.

i have a pretty massive vinyl collection, but it's all culled from used book and record stores.

2 x 1210's (one a mark 2 one a mark 5) and a Vestax 06 mixer. I started mixing jungle about 10 years ago now, then got into house as well but mostly stuck to d+b. Nowdays I just have one deck set up and scratch to beats from the computer. When I get more space I'm gonna set both decks up again and start buying some deep house, cos I really miss mixing. What sort of music you into?

tomassi on Aug 29 '06 at 5:27pm

very nice. well, im leaning toward rap/hip hop at the moment, solely for the reason that I've got a far greater knowledge of that 'genre' of music, being that i've been listening to it much longer. knowing me i'll probably end up experimenting with a number of others though.

www.juno.co.uk (definitely the best. Fair prices, huge stock)

www.htfr.com (prices rather high but good service)

www.replayrecords.com (huge stock and they can have good deals)

www.actionrecords.co.uk (limited stock, but good prices)

www.eil.com (very high prices, but they can have some ultimate rarities)

errr... that's all I can think of right now, but there'll be more I guess !

cheers trolll, thats some list already!

tesco on Aug 29 '06 at 5:31pm

for hiphop check out turntablelab.com // it's american but the service is wicked and it's the definitive source for that sort of music.

ah thanks again tesco, for all the info.
