Hi,
I'm going to be in London next week (specifically the Soho area). Can anyone let me know if there are any good record stores which have good 60's/Psych music sections (eg: Love, The Byrds etc)?
Thanks,
Chris

Unfortunately Reckless on Berwick Street at 26 and 30, which had tons of second hand CDs and vinyl in all genres, went into liquidation at the end of last month. A new shop is due to open there on Monday, also second hand CDs so they may well have taken their stock.
Selectadisc 35-39 Berwick Street is worth checking out, they have a psych and garage section as well as some psych vinyl, Love and the Byrds might be in their main A-Z section though.
If you are after 60s vinyl check out Intoxica on Portobello Road:

Of the megastores HMV on Oxford Street has the widest selection in my experience.

You're right, I had forgotten about them. There's also a couple of good record shops in Hanway Street, behind the Virgin megastore, details here:
