Solo Records

[top_biller]

Was reading an interview with Paul Oakenfold in this week's Time Out and he said that he used to buy records from a place called Solo Records which was tucked inside Brixton tube station. Obviously long gone and before my time, but does anyone remember it and if so, where abouts was it?

Part of the old arcade?

Might be some pics on eds site of what it looked like before.

You googled for it?

I seem to remember a record shop inside Brixton tube when I used to go to gigs at Brixton Academy as a teenager. IIRC, it would have been where the newsagents is now.

The new one is nearly open. If you walk past the tube station on Electric Lane you can see into it at the moment.

I'm pretty sure it was at the bottom of the stairs to the right. It was enclosed in glass


Or am I imagining that?

True underground sounds.

Turns out I'm not imagining it as I asked a couple of people yesterday and they remember
