Reckless in name and in nature - erratic prices, erratic quality - always look at the records before buying cos they have no qualms about selling you scratched vinyl. They also have rereleases up on the wall selling for £20-£40, when you could easily get the same record at Selectadisc or HMV for £4.99 - this pricing can also work in your favour as they seem to have little knowledge of the value of some records - I found some gems in there last week at very reasonable prices - Inner City's Praise Remixes on Ten Records (FSOL, Carl Craig and Mayday mixes - the Mayday mix I had been looking for this for ever - the Mayday mix is one of May's finest moments) and the DJ Pierre Wild Pitch mix of DIY's Hothead (Warp) for just 99p - I thought these records were worth a hell of a lot more than I paid for them (the DIY record was only 99p!). So if you go to Reckless, have patience and keep digging - you're sure to find plenty of gold.

You can find some *amazing* deals, and some really jacked prices to boot. Just be careful, not to say you can't find some really good stuff on the cheap. I've seen *huge* shipments of Detroit back catalogues in there. H U G E ! As Alex said, Berwick street generally is a good place to immerse yourself in vinyl. Also worth popping into Koobla (just up the street from Vinyl Junkies and Reckless) for some bits that other stores may have sold out of. Not an amazing store, but I've rounded things out there b/c it's less headz-frequented. ;) Oh, also if you go to Vinyl Junkies, make sure to visit both parts of the store (there is a 2nd downstairs section a few doors down the street, which many people overlook at first).
