After a few fruitless visits to the local HMV/record shops (such as they are these days), I'm frustrated as to where to buy actual cd's for decent bands. The only alternative I can think of is Amazon, but I find them exploitative and often quite expensive. As someone living in the UK, does anyone know of any local (ie not international) outlets for prog to order from? Thanks.

I normally find Dodax pretty cheap. I believe they are a German company but ship from the UK as well. They sell on Amazon too but you can normally save a bit more if you buy direct from their website. Only downside is that they are slow on delivery - usually 2 - 3 weeks.

I generally use the following for prog stuff:

http://www.caerllysimusic.co.uk - based in Wales
http://www.progrock.co.uk - based in Leicestershire

I've never had any problems buying from these two sources and there prices are reasonable.

I've used Will at caerllysimusic quite a few times. He's a big prog fan and the service is great. Other than that, check if the band you want sells direct via their website.

As chopper says, Will is a proghead and prides himself on good service.

The folks at progrock.co.uk also give good service and communication is good.

Both of them will general have your order delivered within a week. As I say, their communication is good and they are both happy to address any questions you have.

You won't go wrong with Ultima Thule, especially if your interests run to Krautrock:

Also used to use www.missingpiece.net but that now seems to have gone and the domain name taken - anyone know what happened?

Hello to everyone.
I am facing problems with progrock.co.uk website
I have made an order 3 weeks ago, they have confirmed the order but then they seem to be disappeared.
It is the first time I have problems with them, but I am worried because I don't receive any reply to my messages.
Can someone of you help me?
Do you know if progrock.co.uk has troubles?
Thank you
Greetings from Italy

^ Wayside is great but the OP was looking for UK-based sellers. Shipping from the US to the UK is really expensive now, so personally I only order from Steve or other US sellers if I can save up a big order to spread the cost. Which is a damn shame.
