Rock- A- Rhyme in Sister Ray


There are a few reasons why Sister Ray is one of the coolest record stores in London:
First of all, it's in Soho- a haven for misfits, artists, rockers, tourists and every other awesome thing under the sun. Secondly, it was on the cover of Oasis' seminal album What's the Story (Morning Glory) and thirdly, Sister Ray stock almost every genre of music you can think of. Also, you won't find any pompous indie kids working behind the counter which is always a bonus, but what really makes Sister Ray a must-visit record store is fairly simple: it's a little shop jammed to the rafters with CDs, vinyls, T-shirts and DVDs. It's a little slice of musical heaven. Sister Ray was almost closed down last year due to declining sales but it's still standing...for now. Yep, that's right. Record stores still matter, downloading hasn't won out yet!
