Here's a link to a song about it and various blog entries including contact details to find out more about the vinyl. <br />http://sweetwordsofpismotality.blogspot.com/2010/05/cheapo-musical-tribute.htmlTony (aka Pismotality)http://sweetwordsofpismotality.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258459.post-88053659027305567242009-04-21T19:55:00.000+01:002009-04-21T19:55:00.000+01:00There are quite a few record shops in the Notting ...There are quite a few record shops in the Notting Hill/Portobello Road area. Honest Jon's is another one, but they sell mostly vinyl reissues.

I used to shop there more than 30 years ago when I still lived in England.<br /><br />My Mum works in an Oxfam Shop and tells me they have a record valuer who spots the really good stuff, so you won't get too many bargains there these days. I guess other charity shops are doing the same.Private Beachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655349659024692101noreply@blogger.com
