Bloody train fare's gone up to £5.60 for a cheap day return.

theres also the oxfam music and book shop opposite wilkinsons, which is awesome if you liek vinyl i guess, but i don't like vinyl particularly, but its still worth a look every now and then.

i think they are the third week of every month. but im not sure, they have one every weekend in various places they do ipswich corn exchange and have a small one on campus.
the tape exchange is near the odeon.

I managed to find cd's at help the aged ... but i wouldn't say they were very good cd's

Where is the record and tape exchange in Ipswich? Also, going the other way there is the uber smart Slipped Disc in Chelmsford but I would ALWAYS go to Berwick Street just off the Totenham Court Road in London or just Camden in general. The money you save on CD's more than pays for the train fare!

there's a cheeky little record shop hidden neatly away in the upstairs of a card shop opposite Sainsburys in town called Time Records. There's also an MVC down the far end of Crouch Street, a fair selection on very cheap CDs in Cash Convertors on the same road and some specialist RAWK! music shop again, on the same road.
