Best london record shops for Mo Wax digging

[tusken]

I will be in London next week. Ive recently started up my mo wax collecting habit again after a 20 year gap and im seeking some suggestions please for the best shops in London/likely to have some mo wax in stock. Ideally not shops that have a discogs presence because I have well and truly hammered that in the last 6 weeks!

I have a meeting in the Holborn area then its off record shopping!

thanks to anyone who can help with some names

Sister Ray on Berwick Street still had a Mo’Wax section last time I checked. Reckless Records on the same street should also have one. I also think that Tape & Record Exchange in Notting Hill would have some stuff.

I went digging in London about a month ago. Flashback records had a decent selection, I went to the one in Islington, but their websites suggest the other stores also have good stock. I found them to have better prices that the stores in Soho.

The one in Crouch End had a Mo’Wax section the last time I was there (years ago). It’s a pain to get to from Central London though.

That’s why I went to Islington. About 5min walk from the tube. They had a Mo’Wax and Shadow section there. They had the limited Sad and Lonley 10” for £20. I think Sisterray might have had it for £40.

I was in Flashback in Brick Lane over the weekend. They had Rock On on 12 inch and I think it was an original.Also had the Global Underground vinyl promo which had the Doves remix which I think is pretty hard to get.

They also had Strictly Turntabalized for £50!

interesting -flashback have an online selection on their own website and a discogs site -and some mo wax items are on there -but not rock on or strictly so it seems to be pretty random as to what is shown online and what is just in the shop. bit weird why strictly wouldn't be online!

Thanks for the recommendations - sister ray had a few bits, nothing particularly special except for the unkle rock on promo which was in near mint condition for 15. I have never seen that before so I snapped that up! Reckless does still have a section but there wasn't much in there.

Hi everyone,

I'm going to London in February. Just 9 hours. So I've just the time for 1 of 2 second hands record shops to find some Mo Wax digging.

Are the names of the record shops above still relevant? I will not only buy vinyls this day. So, I am really looking for two addresses where the prices are correct and where there is a certain choice (especially in the first vinyls Mo Wax Swifty period).

Thank you in advance for your answers and Happy New Year 2019

Flashback usually has a decent collection.

It's incidentally where I got all 7 of my "Mo'Wax Classics" from, when a bloke from Universal came in. I got them discount as well because my then girlfriend was working there!
