Hi org´ers,

Another thing, eye´m looking 4 "imported prince" CD´s...some may call ´em Bootlegs...
Does anybody know shops in London where eye can find ´em for worthy prices ?
Thx 4 the Info

good luck in finding shops with bootlegs. Best chance is somewhere like Camden Market, they used to do them there a while back (4/5 years or so) havent been there since so dont know anymore.

You can't find good prices EVER in London because (assuming you're coming from the States) the exchange rate is about 2:1. That's right, for every dollar you bring you'll be getting about 50 pence.

It's a great place to visit nonetheless. I've been there eabout 3 times (keep going back). Have fun and feel free to orgnote me if you have any other questions that you want answered from a tourist's point of view.

Hi smile

I'm a London orger and U should definitely check Camden market. They still do Prince boots, but U will have 2 look around. I got one there a week ago, but don't tell anyone who is 4'6" and in high heels wink

U should also definitely check out Notting Hill and go in the Music Exchange stores. In one of them, there is a rare collectibles department on the top floor and they have everything from original copies of the black album, to 12" versions of Gotta Stop Messing About as well as picture discs and Japenese imports.

Good Luck and remember this... Prince wasn't joking when he sang we could freeze in London wink

peace

Thanks y´all 4 responding. Well some Tube station info would b nice, since I can´t find Camden Town on any London Map from the internet.

@JimmyNothing: eye always thought Notting Hill is sumthin´like the Beverly Hills of London ?!?!?
Don´t get me wrong, eye ´m just curios, because eye wouldn´t expect music exchange stores in those neighborhoods. But anyway...eye mma check it out.
