    	There is a small basement record shop in a side street between 
    	Richard shops and C&A on Oxford st. called 'Tumbleweed records'.
    
        I bought a stones single of 'Brown sugar' and a Led Zeppelin
    	'Metal' disk of Whole Lotta' Love. Sorry I don't know the street
    	name but if your sightseeing anyway it might be worth a try.

    re .0
    Bootlegs are often seen for sale at the street markets such as Camden
    Lock and Portobello Rd.
    Problem here is to check the quality..and I'd *never* buy a bootleg
    cassette!

    Lot's of fairly good recording can be found at Camden Market/Lock.
    You can also get some bootleg video's as well, although the quality
    is usually always dodgy on these.  As for the audio tapes, it usually
    depends on the group.  If it's a group who is usually atrocious
    when playing live then forget it, but most of them are quite good.
    
    (I bought a New Order tape from there once which sounded awful,
    but when I actually saw them live about a month later, they were
    awful then as well.  No reflection on the group mind, New Order
    still remain one of the best bands around today, but I wouldn't
    recommend seeing them live.)

    Re: .4  `Joy Division were better'
    
    Undoubtedly, but they were a bit before my time.
    
    News for all Joy Divvy Fans, Factory are releasing a double album
    of all their old singles, B-sides, etc as they did with New Order's
    `Substance'.  This one's also called Substance and is due out in
    May sometime.

38.8Check first...45466::JANSEN_JFri Jan 13 1989 15:3811
    Warning......
    
    If you're going to buy any bootlegs check out books on the artist
    concerned beforehand because they will give you an idea of the
    recording quality.
    
    Secondly if it is a record check the pressing quality as some of these
    often turn out to be literally unplayable.
    
    Regards
    JJ

    	What band is currently bootlegging their own recordings?  I forget
    	the band and the reasons, most likley recording deal gone bad.

Are you thinking of the Happy Mondays who blessed a bootleg of their live
show this summer? I think the bootleg is available as a kosher release now.
