Hi!
I am Ricardo, a Spanish boy that is living in London right now. I have been here for only one month and was wondering if any of you knew about some record shops around here where I can find rare roxette stuff. BTW do you know any import records shop in London where I can buy Mazarin?? Thank you!

Hola Ricardo! Yo recuerdo unas cuantas tiendas en Londres donde encontré cosas buenas y baratas, xq roxette está bastante devaluado en UK.A ver, no recuerdo qué línea de bus era, no sé si la 12, 82, 84... bueno, tú te pillas un bus que va desde Pic. Circus hasta Notting Hill, y le dices al del bus que te avise cuando lleguéis a Notting Hill. En la calle principal en la que para, que es una calle ancha, justo enfrente de donde te deja el autobús, hay unas cuantas tiendas de discos y de cine, todas seguidas en la misma acera, y es en la calle ancha antes de entrar a las calles del mercadillo de Notting Hill.
Espero que mi explicación no haya sido muy liosa, pero una vez que estás allí no tiene pérdida, ok?
Un abrazo y pásalo bien en Londres.

Hi! Generally, the larger stores of HMV, Virgin & Tower Records in Central London are good for Roxette stuff - just the regular imports. Most rare stuff is available online, but you may be lucky to find some bits in the following shops, which sell new and exchanged items:
http://www.beanos.co.uk/ this shop is in Croydon, South London
There’s also a chain of stores called Music & Tape Exchange scattered around london. One of them, I know is on Camden High Street ...can’t remember where the others are, although I’m sure they can tell you. I’ve been fortunate to find some promos etc here :)
Good luck, and enjoy your time here in London!

Hi, my parents are visiting London soon (wish I was going :( ).
I was wondering are there any music/book shops that sell “The Look for Roxette” discography book? Or is it only available online?

i dont think its available in the UK....
i havent seen it... i had to get mine online.

You might find vinyl (I have seen before) in the above shops, and plenty of others if you look around... what you find though is more down to luck.
No, I’ve not seen “The Look For Roxette” in any stores here either, but I got a copy direct from the author, so I’ve not been looking. I’m sure most fans outside of Sweden got their copies from online... (?)

Try This
go to http://www.google.co.uk/
In The Search Box Type Roxette
then Make sure “pages from the uk” is selected.
And then press Google Search.
Kepp going through the search results and you’ll find HEAPS of online record stores and then you can check if they have a Shop Somewhere in London or you could get them to ship stuff to your london Address.
Cheers
Dave
