Don't know it but whenever I'd been to a depressing course somewhere up north one of the consolations was a trip to the rare vinyl dept of Mole Jazz in Grays Inn Rd 5 mins walk from Kings Cross.

Monitor Records in Hong Kong where I grew up - the only place to get Krautrock/PSF and other wierd and wonderful delights.

Track in York was excellent but sadly will be in the hands of the receivers within the next 2 weeks. I'm getting some good bargains as it goes through the motions of clearing all the stock but won't be the same without it. No more independants left in York now. Red Rhino went years ago and i grew up in that one.Very sad. Will now have to go to Jumbo in Leeds for obscure stuff.

That's Stand Out/Minus Zero...(the two Bills!). Used to run Plastic Passion together I believe and then some kind of disagreement prompted them to run two separate shops in the same building about two feet apart. Great shop!

Not really a record shop more like a record stall but anyway Casbah Records in Greenwich Market is worth a visit.

The guys who run it did nod very sagely when I bought First Utterance by Comus acoupla years back.

Heheheh, despite not having been there in years, that story's only increased my love for the shop - it's that kind of madness that makes a champion :-)

Ah, yes. I had a nosey around in there just a few weeks ago.
...didn't buy anything, though.
