Eastern Bloc in Manchester on Oldham Street is your best bet for dubstep. Picadilly Records and Fat City also stock dubstep but not as much as Eastern Bloc - they are also on Oldham Street

If you are after a few older bits try Reflex quite far down Oldham Street there are a few second hand early dubstep bits for sale in there

If you need directions send me a pm

I didn't know that - I only ever used them for reggae.

E bloc is the best in Mcr currently..Piccadilly is always low on stock, they seem more concerned with the mail order side of things.

Get to tribe in leeds, its the only one worth while. Big big selection.

In the alley way across from the wire, just next where the corn exchange is.

Nah Tribe is the only place for Dubstep! Even if they don't have what you're after, I'm sure if you ask nicely they can get you it in.

You can't be in Leeds and into dubstep without making a trip to Tribe, swear the Leeds scene is based round that shop :D

Fair enough, but im sure when (if) ive ever picked up more than 4 records they automatically put them next to the decks. I agree it takes the piss to listen to loads of records though, remember someone asking for some EPMD track to be played over a shop PA before they would buy it, serious its a classic track just buy it. :lol:
