Sister Ray

Sister Ray, Berwick St, W1

Sister Ray
is a great little shop in Soho mainly because it is consistently the cheapest for new releases in London. Take the recent Tindersticks album - the gatefold vinyl version was upwards of £12 everywhere else, but here they sold initial quantities at £8.99. Singles too are often cheaper. 12" releases that are £3.99 in HMV are often £2.99 here.

The store is indie-focused, but also stocks a lot of techno and has a bizare heavy-metal section. Second hand rarities and back catalogue items are also stocked, which all goes to show that you can cram an awful lot of good stuff into a little tiny store.

Who shops here? Anyone with sense and desperate to get more records for their money.
When? Mon-Sat 9.30am-8pm, Sun 11am-5pm
Where? 94 Berwick St, W1F 0QF (020 7287 8385)
