yeah, that'll narrow it down, no name, no station, and the edge of Zone 1 has already got too many stations as it is, Mornington crescent? Liverpool Street? Aldgate East? London Bridge? Elephant and Castle? Vauxhall? Earl's Court? Notting Hill Gate? High Street Kensington? Paddington? St. John's Wood? Royal Oak? Great Portland Street? etc?.
suburban usually Zone 3.

Well that was the facetious part of the post! But they had an ad in the yellow pages when I was there, it was the only shop that proclaimed themselves to be soul specialists, so if you wanted to find them I'm sure you could.
Also, "suburb" has a different meaning in Australia to the rest of the world. We'd call Kensington, say, or Chelsea, a "suburb". Because it's a locality in a city that has a unique name, basically.

I wouldn't. The Virgin megastore had full selections of Amorphis and Agalloch CDs. This just has the big, and generally shit, names of metal, and thinks Aerosmith and Alice Cooper are metal. And (one CD of) Anorexia Nervosa is in a goth section which is pretty much bare essentials. A British record store claiming some sort of redeeming quality and obscurantism and stocking no Killing Miranda or Carfax Abbey CDs? Not to mention not even any Bal-Sagoth in the metal section? Jeez, they're a big band! I'm not even gonna bother looking for Ewigkeit, Crimson Altar or the Meads of Asphodel.
Not my sort of place. Obviously doesn't care about niche interests beyond covering their bases. I'm sure their indie collection is astounding, but meh, fuck 'em.
edscoble:
it's always varies on the store, remember the staff put them in the catalogue, fulham boardway Virgin has everything in the each order, but the one in Brixton is completely like a mix'n'max section
Kai:
Too bad most of the indie stores here blow. Except for the FUCKING HUGE one that has lotsa jazz n avant garde shit. But it's closing soon, so.

The way I look at it is: I'll preferentially shop at the indie store, but if they don't have what I want and the big chain-store does then I'm buying it today from the chain-store insetad of waiting three weeks for it to be ordered in by the indie store.
