• Oxfam music located in southampton ( 1 east street southampton, so14 3he, not portswood) doesnt only have treasures from the past, like collectable records that are not only reasonably priced but the staff are very friendly, the amount of books and films are astounding, and even the cd's vary from new (familiar) to the older. for those that enjoy playing music there is sheet music and those that enjoy watching music their is videos and dvds. this shop is defiantly a must see so head down

• Oxfam Music shop in Portswood Road can actually be quite fun. Oh, wait...hang on. No. It's rubbish.
• Essential on East Street for being lovely and cheap (read sensible, CDs cost a bloddy fortune), FM for The Rock Doc, always happy to recomend new bands, sell CDs by local ones, have gret 3 for £15 on classics (you know, the onres you never quite got around to buying). Weasles second hand on Shirley High Street, takes a bit of rummaging but worth it as is Oxfam Music in Portswood and the record fair at the Guildhall on the last saturday of every month (which is a bugger 'cos it's ususlly bang before payday).
