If you are in Slough, go down the road to Windsor. there is a tiny shop call
"Revolution Records" which has been there since the 60's and the guy in
there is very friendly and you can spend lots of time listening (normally
with noone else coming in the shop)
Check 'em out.
It has to be said ... if you want gauranteed choice you ought to head to the
west end .....
