lol, you think stuff over there is overpriced! If you want to buy a cd (album) over here, i'd say average price is around £13?? (dont think i've actually ever bought an album, it's against my religon) .. so that's $24? .. welcome to England.

I'm afraid CD prices in the UK are much higher that in the states. It's a well known fact over here that we get totally ripped off compared to you lucky bastards in America who get everything cheap!

/Rant over

Your nearest largest ones are on the corner of tottenham court road and oxford street (virgin mega store) and down oxford street (HMV)

although cd's are pretty expensive here these two stores do have some pretty good offers on every now and again.

go to give a look in notting hill-ladbroke grove- some interesting stuff+ nice place to see if it's Ur first time in l0nd0n

even in camden t0wn U can find some interesting stuff and sometimes it's second hand staff-if U're lucky without spending a lot u can come back with some go0d staff
