He will probably be a stone's throw away from me then. Since he is going
to have easy access to Croydon, there is a second hand CD shop there called
'Beanos' supposedly the biggest in Europe but does not specialise in CM,
though it does have a fair bit. In close proximity is Cloakes which is
run by 3 people who really know their stuff. They can recommend CDs of
Albinoni to Zemlinsky. Very well stocked too. Also they have a second
hand section. Just watch out for the trams! (they have just finished the
network)
In London, I can recommend HMV on Oxford Street. Forget which one (there
are a few) but if you go downstairs, there is a huge Classical department
which is near as dammit sonically isolated from the rest of the place.
Walls of Naxos I believe. Even have 5 or 6 listening posts! Don't know
what the staff are like.
Other than that, I am open to good suggestions. I do my summer job in
London so will be up there anyway. Any good Second Hand CD shops in
London?
