Alex thanks for the tip. Oxfam was bereft of anything for my tates - it seemed to major on MOR and classical, but 101 Records was good, with as you say, new vinyl too. The filing system and comments on tabs were amusing too. I picked up a few useful items.
One the way back, I popped into Spinnadisc in Aldershot, which was crammed with records, with a lot of punk / indie (must be those rebelious soldiers). The back room with stacks of cheap records was closed.
I was hoping that some troops stationed in Cologne might have brought back crateloads of Structure and Monotone records, but this wasn't the case. Still, I got a fair crop of indie & rock.
Both shops seemd to be also selling on E-Bay, given that they had '"E-Bay sales crates" on the floor is it.
