RE: (TV) Camden Town (was Recent acquisitions)

[Howard Webb <howard@lasercomp.demon.co.uk>]

Don't know about the Clash song, but at the weekends Camden Town, a trendy 
area in North London, becomes a huge market. Its about the only place in 
London left where you can openly buy bootlegs (though it is more well known 
for clothes, jewelry etc). I'll go up there in a week or so and report my 
findings to the list. Last time I was there I could only find Oasis and 
Blur bootlegs, obviously i was looking in the wrong place...
