But also perhaps the most expensive; also their staff can be
incredibly rude, in my experience.

MDC is better than just OK. it has some very interesting cutout deals.

But allow lots of time. ACtually if you're not interested in LPs Caruso
can be a little disappointing; I foudn their CD selection a little thin.
To my mind the most interesting of all is Gramex 95 in Lower Marsh, near
Waterloo Station. The owner is a real character, as are many of the
customers. How many other stores do you know where the customers will
group round as the new arrivals are read out?

Just where do you think Crystal Palace is? Waterloo can't be more than
10 miles from it, surely.
