Seconded here - this is a great shop, usually £1 or so cheaper for albums
than Piccadilly, by and large. IIRC their policy is to stock independent
labels only (at least that's what the chap I spoke to told me). 3rd floor
of Affleck's Palace, towards the Tib Street Entrance. The selection of
Warp/Skam/that kind of thing seems larger than Piccadilly's, to me at least.
Didn't PN have something to do with the City Centre Offices compilation too?

Manchester's other great new stuff shop, imo - more expensive than Pelican
Neck, and a slightly larger selection of genres, if memory serves.
Piccadilly is just down the road from the building Pelican Neck is in, on
Oldham Street.
Others worth checking - M 1 records (Oldham Street again) in a basement
between an "Everything 50p!" shop and a barbers, iirc. Not a bad second
hand shop - selection will vary widely in quality, so it's one of those
places to drop in to every now and then for a good look through the racks.
Cheaper than Vinyl Exchange, but make sure you check the discs for scratches
etc - imo, their rating system isn't quite as stringent as the Vinyl
Exchange.
Vinyl Exchange (Oldham Street & Deangate - Deansgate is CDs and videos
only). Great second hand shop - ratings (mint, v good etc) usually
accurate, good prices if you're selling part of your collection (better if
you exchange for other tunes in the shop) and a wide selection of genres. I
find the selection is better during the university holidays (students aren't
in there cherry picking the good stuff before us wage slaves can get out on
lunch).
Does anyone know if the Motion Shop Finder is still going, btw? They were
setting up an international database of this kind of thing... don't know the
exact url, but motion is at
http://motion.state51.co.uk .
