    I wont shop at the big chains, but dont know of any decent independant places in Hull. So I rely on the internet...

    www.opalmusic.com is ruining my life at the moment, great for picking up imports and odd bits of vinyl, it's a bit limited though, all bloody indie stuff, the order list must have been written by a ****ing NME journalist...

    Anyone else know of a decent, reliable web site where you can pick up rare/obscure stuff?

    BTW, does anyone use E-bay? I'm registered, reluctanat to plunge in and make a bid though...

    for chart music go to www.cdwow.com most albums are £8.99 including p&p, don't rely on these guys to supply your obscure bands tho unfortunately

    www.musica.co.uk has more of the obscure bands but delivery can take a long time - i ordered a cd before xmas and it still hasn't com yet(altho to be fair it said it could take up to 4 weeks for delivery)

    Media Markt, a cheap, super big, shop in Rotterdam. That shop exists in many countries, so you might know it (English name would be Media Market).

    I try to use FOPP in Glasgow, which is now a nationwide chain but I dont know if there are any near you. Try www.fopp.co.uk. They generally have most CDs for £10 and always have plenty of older CD's for a fiver - I was in the other day and they had Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica, The Who - Tommy, The Who Live at Leeds, The Smiths The Smiths, The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow, Nirvana Bleach, Velevt Underground & Nico, Lou Reed Transformer, David Bowie Low and Heroes etc etc. I cannot go in there and NOT come out with a CD - impossible.

    I sometimes have to revert to HMV but :( I work in a shopping centre where HMV is the only record shop, so I walk past it twice a day, and often with £20+ tips jangling in my pocket...it can be irresistible.

    Online Amazon always does for me. I got the two EPs from The Music from there when I couldnt find them in any record shop.

    Music Mania, an independant shop owned by Mike Lloyd whose entire entertainment went arse-about-face a few years back. A good little shop. Failing that, HMV. Virgin Megastores is complete and utter *****.

    Does anyone use E-bay then?

    I've seen stuff go at really cheap prices, but the whole thing is a bit daunting...

    I have a store card for MVC which I use a lot. But if Tesco have the album in I want I will usually get it from there coz they let you take the album back if you don't like it.
    I also buy a lot of MP3s which I know is wrong but there you go

    Theres also The Record Factory in Paisley which I havent been in in ages but I was in this morning, had a difficult decision to make, all for a fiver it was between Trout Mask Replica, Who's Next or Transformer (Lou Reed)

    I plumped for Transformer :)

    For online music try - here , or here , or even here . And this might be worth a try too. ;)
