There are 3 record shops in slough town centre, 1 is our price (forget it),
the other is HMV(overpriced but sometimes a cd or two to choose from) and
the other is a little shop called Music World. I guess it is music world
you're talking about which used to be great but only sold CD,(no vinyl). I
think it has changed hands recently 'cos last time I was in there there was
NOTHING. My favourite shop in slough is called "Slough Record Centre"
(that's quite imaginative for SLough folk) and is on the Farnham Road
heading north from Slough. They have a good selection of Vinyl as well as
CD's .... check it out! they are friendly too.

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 .....
