Difficult to define is this one. I was tempted to put it under museums but finally settled for a…read morecombination of convenience store, DVD rental and cinema - and yet this still doesn't really describe it properly. Up until quite recently it actually was a normal corner shop, and it still retains a drinks fridge and some chocolate bars. But what the shop now concentrates on is an extremely eclectic selection of films on some very odd formats. For example, if you have been searching for that special edition of Jurassic Park on VideoDisc, look no more. VideoDisc, for those of you that don't know, is an obselete way of viewing films using vinyl. There are also lots of real cinema canisters with accompanying projectors, as well as 8mm cameras and paraphenalia. Soundtracks come in the form of a towering pile of old LPs. There are also plentiful DVDs and VHS. Titles in these formats tend to be either B-movies, soft porn, Turkish in origin. Lots of the equipment is also available for rent. It's a very unique shop, run by Umit, an eccentric Turkish guy. He seems grumpy at first but is full of random info if you catch him on a good day and he is willing to chat. As well as a real trove of odds and ends that you can spend ages just staring at, Umit will transfer your old films to digital format and will even come and project real, flickery cinema reels onto your wall.

The Music & Video Exchange in Greenwich is another in the Exchange group based around London. I…read morefind that this one is not as bargainous as its cousins elsewhere but there are still some good finds to be had here. Cheap second hand and promotional albums are there for the taking if you fancy sifting through the racks. Most albums are individually priced and are all guaranteed to work. The shop is quite small and if someone is looking through the promo/collectables section you may find that you have to wait your turn which can be frustrating. Promo albums (the ones radio stations are given by record companies which come in plastic or cardboard sleeves) are normally around £2 and albums start from £4. The problem can also be the quality of stock. Sometimes the racks aren't as full as I have seen in other Exchange stores and are full of artists I've never heard of before which normally wouldn't be a problem but at £2 a go, buying an album blindly can feel like a waste of money if there are no tracks you like. DVDs and vinyl are also available at slashed prices. The main stock is upstairs with more downstairs if you have time on your hands. There it little organisation to the CDs downstairs it is pot luck with regards to what you come across. Looking around this shop can be a pleasurable way to kill an hour or so but compared to the other Music Exchanges, it lacks something which in my opinion is the quantity and quality of stock. Still worth checking out and going out of your way to visiting but if you only have time to visit one exchange, make it one of the others.

This small second-hand music shop in the Greenwich town centre looks like someone's car boot sale…read more Posters adorn the wall, CDs and DVDs are stacked in rows on counters and shelves, and there's barely enough room for more than five customers to browse at the same time (not to mention the guys who work there look like they're on a permanent tea break). However, what looks like disarray isn't really: stock is meticulously ordered depending on genre and price. The categories put any conventional music store to shame. Example: you don't just have "urban" music, you have "classic hip-hop", "UK and indie hip-hop", "mainstream label hip-hop", "hip-hop compilations", "soul", "nu-soul", "funk" and "r&b". Phew! You get the point. This shop is an excellent place to search for bargains - CDs regularly get priced down to £2, even £1. Brand new albums are sometimes available for a quid or two cheaper than their retail price. The DVDs are varied and affordable and there's also an LP section in the basement. If you want an even bigger selection, though, check out their Camden branch.

While in London earlier this month, I wanted to hit up some record stores; Flashback being towards…read morethe top of the list. This Flashback was cool, but not my favorite Flashback store. For my likes, I felt this store just didn't have what I was looking for. Another Flashback location hit it out of the park though, but this store still had some really cool gems! The service at this location was great though. The employees were nice and willing to answer questions, even though the place was busy. Everything was organized really well and it was easy to find the sections/artists that I was looking for. I would definitely come back here the next time I'm in London.
