If you’re the type of person that thinks there arn’t enough places that stock vinyl and the like in the UK and are unable to travel to london, dont despair. You may be luckier than you think thanks to the glorius north quarter in Manchester. 
During a recent trip there I managed to pick up some amazin’ stuff.
Shops in the general area:
Magma Bookshop – with amazing art on the entrance which changes quite frequently.
Forbidden Planet – A buttload of comics/figures/vinyl etc..
Arc – Weird clothes shop.. sells monsterism and stuff.
Afflecks Palace – (Alternate shopping thingy, 2nd floor has dunny, stereotypes, neo kaiju, Qee (2″, 8″ and DIY), 10″ Andy Warhol Kubrick and looooads more
Map to afflecks (most other shops mentioned are in this area)
You could also visit the amazing urbis which has exhibitions and other funky stuff aswell as a neat lil shop which also sells qee etc..
**update**
Also just around the corner from Forbidden Planet is the Richard Goodall gallery! Loads of top line vinyl there.
