There are a couple of streets in London that have concentrations of used record stores. http://www.timeout.com/london/music/londons-best-music-shops
Trying to remember which one I grazed my way along last time I was there, I think it was Berwick Street, which had at least three stores in close proximity.
Doofy, I think your post just put Grand Prairie, Texas on my bucket list.
This area has lots of fine shops for music, was the one you were thinking off Sister Ray?
The ones I really like are Soul Jazz which is at the bottom of Berwick Street and Ray's Jazz which is located in the new Foyles Bookshop on Charing Cross Road, if you are ever in London they are both worth a visit.
@Brighter, it seems (to me anyway, I'm running Firefox) that the youtube videos you are including in your posts are resulting in a static-y screen with the message "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn More". When I click on the YouTube icon in the lower-right it opens up a new tab in my browser for that video at youtube. The page itself is completely blank but the tab label reads '404 Not Found'.
I noticed the URL in the newly open tab has a '-nocookie' string as part of its structure. If I remove that the video plays without any issue.
... very weird... my 'corrected' ("") link got automatically converted to an embedded video link and in the process changed to the same thing as your original post's link (and doesn't work).
ETA#2: Apparently this is an issue with Firefox... I'm pretty sure I got an automatic update pushed out to me last week. I went to a recent post of mine from 2 weeks or so ago in which I included an embedded youtube link and it exhibits the same behavior now that I noticed with your links. It did not do that previously.
I tried IE8 earlier and that was even worse - all I had displayed for any of the new embedded videos was the 'play' button that was linked to nothing... but that's a pretty old version of IE and probably the reason behind that weirdness. I forgot I had Chrome installed on this laptop and just tried it and experienced no issues at all.
Might be time to consider switching my preferred browser of choice from Firefox to Chrome.
FYI... I just figured out what was interfering with the YouTube links: My AddBlockPlus plugin for Firefox. Once I disabled it for emusers.org all the youtube links worked again.
I just disabled it and the videos still play OK. So I guess I don't really know what the solution was at this point. To be honest, I didn't verify that they still wouldn't play before disabling ABP... I just had an issue on another site with a webpage not displaying stuff in FireFox that Chrome didn't have any issue with and then realized that since it was ad-type stuff maybe my ABP plugin in FireFox might be the culprit. I disabled it for that page and it displayed the same way Chrome was displaying Remembering that Chrome didn't have an issue here while my FireFox did, I then came to this page with FireFox and disabled ABP for emusers.org and the videos that wouldn't play earlier played without any issues so I assumed it was the result of me disabling ABP.
Since re-enabling ABP for emusers.org doesn't reintroduce the issue. I can only guess that it was the process of 'disabling' that somehow fixed whatever glitch existed within FireFox or one of the admin-types behind the scenes tweaked something at some point earlier to make them work with FireFox and the ABP plugin setting had nothing to do with it at all.
The -nocookie URL is created by the forum code when you click on a preview image. I will change it to use a regular URL. Note that the fix may vanish when I upgrade the software. This will mean either it'll stop working again for some people, or that youtube has fixed it and we'll never notice the difference. Or I'll remember to reapply the change. We'll find out.
I have a wee link with Marc Bolan in that we grew up in the same area of London, both attended the same youth club and secondary school. He was expelled way before I went there.
I went to see a band called Legend play at the youth club which featured the drummer who later play in T Rex.

This is what opens normally clicking on the Youtube button: "https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/watch?v=mW3T3RjQsbU"
This is what I change it to so that it play: "

I just hit play on some of the above videos without disabling it, though, and they play like normal.
