There are many shops in the London area as well as a good shop in Slough
shopping centre which isn't too far away from Reading. Don't ask me for
the name of the shop in Slough as it has been at least 18 months since I
was out there. However, London which I will have the pleasure of going
back to has many especially in the West End. Here's a list of some of my
favourites:-

Soul - Jazz Records - 12 Ingestre Place, W1 (Just off Wardour street)
Rocking Sarah - Wardour Street, W1
City Sounds - High Holborn, W1
Mr. Bongo - 47 Lexington Road, W1, Near Soul Jazz
Honest Jon's - 278 Portobello Road, W10
Reckless Records - Wardour Street, also a branch in Upper Street
Islington
Soul Brother Records - 1 Keswick Road, Putney, London SW 15

Happy hunting,

Winston..

I feel compelled to add my feelings to the debate about Siedah Garrett -
I had
no idea she had left, and it sounds like an intriguing development. I
thought
N'Dea was a goddess, and really could do no wrong, and the alteration of
musical
direction must be connected to the change of frontwoman. 'Shelter' is
the best
song on the album,. for me, and Siedah does not even sing on that. The
dark side
of the change in style is epitomised by 'You Got A Friend', which
strikes me as
a trite and unconvincing cover of an otherwise very fine song.

On a different note, I live in the South-East of England (Reading) and I
am
trying to find out about good record shops with Acid Jazz music in it. I
am
extending my collection as a recent convert, and I need a place with
knowledgeable staff etc. to to help me in my quest ..... London seems an
obvious
place I suppose, but any help to narrow the search would be much
appreciated.

Thanks
