Good reputation. Run by Malcolm Parker who is really friendly
on the phone and very helpful generally. In addition to being
a pleasant place to order from, their prices are superb (modulo
the UK!) ... I have not seen a cheaper place in the UK. Their
catalogue has a good range, nothing too esoteric, plus special
sections devoted to Canterbury, `Head' music etc. P and P rates are
very good indeed and they seem to send orders of 3+ CDs recorded
delivery. Very quickly too ... I often get next-day service even
if I ring in the afternoon! They have a special offers list that
includes currently favoured material that's offered at an all-in
rate which includes P and P. They also send out an update with
end-of-line items. A very good mail order outlet.

Tim is a guy who deals mainly in used LPs and works shows in
his area, he's got good contacts with a lot of other dealers
collectors in his area, and seems to have no trouble finding rare
and out-of-print stuff if you give him a little time. He found
me 6 o/p albums by Maneige over the course of the last year, and
found the whole FM catalog for a friend of mine, including the
rare first album "Headroom", all for very reasonable prices. His
service is extremely good, turn-around-time is quick, and he's a
really friendly chap to talk with on the phone. Recommended for
o/p stuff.

Formerly known as Lotus Records, these guys have specialized catalogs
for Canterbury, Zeuhl (Magma), and other stuff.
I've only ordered from them once, but I got both Paga CDs as well
as the 2CD version of Magma Live. These three discs are nearly
impossible to get in the US, but I called Mike Lloyd's and got
them with no problem. Shipping did take about a month, but it
was well worth the wait. When you call, ask for Andy or Clarey,
as they handle the mail order division.

Last I checked (several years ago) this was a one man operation,
Martin K Reed. He has a decent variety of British indie electronic
musicians like Ian Boddy, Steve Frost and Mark Shreeve.
