If you're hunting those hard to get rarities or deletions, then "Out on the Floor" is a record shop you must check out. Conveniently located in London's famed Camden Market, this small-but-densely-packed shop offers new and secondhand records and CDs at very reasonable prices. Nearly every type of music is catered for. The rare reggae LPs and singles you can find there have drawn in customers from many countries. The new wave/indie section attracts a young progressive crowd. There's a large 60s selection, from rock'n'roll to psychedelic. Plus rare grooves, fusion, latino, and country.
The store is staffed by a friendly and knowledgable crew... and if they don't have that particular item your looking for, then they will gladly suggest where else you might try. The shop is also frequented by punters from other shops and market stalls, DJs, and many serious collectors.
They buy in records or offer exchange, and run an international mail order business. Soon they will be getting an e-mail address to ease the flow of telephone enquiries... this will be posted here as soon as available. In the near future we will be running a selection from their catalog... stay tuned to this space for more info.
Highly recommended.
