not sure where to dig them but UK had some crazy jazz funk fusion type stuff in the late 70s early 80s.

Berwick st, `soho - nearest tube: tottenham court road or Oxford Street.

This is where all the records in central are/used to be -
if revival is still there - hit it up.
sounds of the universe also worth a look, but the staff can be weird and the stock rarely moves. Lots of represses upstairs, and priced originals in the basment.
Sister ray is all represses and overpriced originals - loads of CDs
Phonica is a more like a house music dj showroom with a few boxes of tut - avoid.
immediately north of oxford circus (tottenham court road end) there is a small road with 'west end dj' and 2 pretty good shops - JBs and ... um... something else.

also, if youre at sounds of the universe end of soho, and go south through the fruit market - after you cross teh road 'cheapo cheapos' will be on your right - prices are cheap, worth a look.

music and video exchange - nearest tube: Notting Hill gate
About 4 shops al part of the same chain all in a row on the same side of the road - *Must go there*

Islington (essex road i think...) nearest tube: angel islington
2 shops here, haggle and flashback, both on the same side of the road

Dalston Junction: Nearest tube: Dalston Kingsland
the shops on a side street near the jazz club, i forget the street name. no bargains there as the guy knows his stuff, but lots of reaaly nice stuff youll want to spend money on

yeah Its a great place, definitly a must-go.
some of the exchange shops in that row have basements and upperfloors where they keep the cheaper stuff, theres also medium price areas and then the regular stuff on ground floors or course. Its really near the tube station too.
