For soul, jazz and funk, there’s Soul Brother Records in Putney, a Saarf London institution for more than 30 years. It’s right by East Putney tube station on the District line (about 25 mins from Victoria, or 10 from Earl’s Court).
Are you coming over for the Ashes Pete?
Sure am I’m arriving on Tuesday and got tickets for the Thursday (29th). Catching up with a few members on the Wednesday for drinks and watch a bit of day 1 at a pub in London more than welcome to join us if you’re around.
Would love to Pete but a bit difficult - am in Ireland
Amazingly too - I will probably be rooting for the Brits - that’s equivalent to you rooting for the Kiwis!!

For secondhand CDs and Vinyl, there are two shops of the Music & Video Exchange, one in Greenwich and one Notting Hill.
I have not been to Notting Hill, but visit the Greenwich shop when I can and always come away with a few items. They operate a ‘Dutch Auction’ pricing method, so there are always some bargains to be had, particularly on CDs.
Used to make annual (or more) visits to Notting Hill when I visited London, any chance I got basically. Always excellent for classical and rock/jazz. Not been since covid but I understand the classical basement is open again after being flooded….
Greenwich is mostly Rock/Indie and Popular, with small amount of Jazz/Blues. No classical, so I presume they sent those to Notting Hill.
All time greatest for FOPP was when they were offloading all those Prestige/Riverside/Milestone/Contemporary/Fantasy jazz CDs, including just about every OJC for £3 a pop. About 2010 I think. The Cambridge Circus store was an Alladins Cave.
Yes remember it well I bagged most of them. Happy days.
@Pete_the_painter – I’ll drop you a line at your email address on your website.
I take it you enjoyed England’s Ashes collapse today…
That email address isn’t operational at present @Richard.Dane maybe able to help. As for the cricket yes I did enjoy it but even I would have liked to see more of Joe Root.
