1168.0. "Reading Record Shops" by WOTVAX::GILLILANDP (Not very Tuna-friendly) Tue Aug 03 1993 16:03

    I need to get hold of some Russian folk music on tape/vinyl/CD (doesn't
    matter which). I have tried local shops which not surprisingly have
    provided me with nothing more than a blank stare. I shall be in Reading
    this weekend. Can anybody tell me of a record shop in Reading or its
    outlying districts that may be able to supply such music?

1168.1try HIckies?RDGENG::CROOKstaring unfocussed at overcast skiesTue Aug 03 1993 17:1615
.. you could try Hickies, in Reading. This is a sheet music/musical
instruments/classical Cd/vinyl shop. It is a huge shop with 2 entrances:
one is on Queen Victoria Street (which links Friar St with Broad St) the other
is on Friar St (opposite the Barclays Bank). I think it has a large music (CD)
selection so you may be lucky. You could try 'phoning them on 0734 575771

Bon Chance (as they say in Russia*)

of choice for the fashionable sophisticate

    Phil - The HMV used to have a large folk section (it may have changed
    since I moved up north).  ( I can sympathise with trying to find a
    decent record shop in Crewe or Warrington).
    
    I have a 10" ep of Ukranian folk music around somewhere if that helps?

    Thanks for the information. Unfortunately neither of those shops came
    up with the goods. However, I did find success in the Virgin Megastore,
    next to the `Butts Centre' (?). They had a good selection of `World
    Music' including some Russian stuff on Peter Gabriels RealWorld lable.
