Hello again!
This might sound like another in my "Caveman Asks..." series of threads, and in a way it is. But let me get to the point, slowly. My dear Big Bro', who likes soundtracks, but not in the nutty way I do, asked me (by phone) just now where I get all the good stuff I've got, 'coz you can't get that stuff in the shops anymore. You can't even get shops. And I told him that I ordered everything from a specialist store here in Spain. And he told me he'd never ordered anything on-line before. I hope you're following this - I'm sounding a bit infantile even to myself.
So, to get the bloody point, he expressed interest in starting to purchase all the good stuff from La-La Land, Intrada, the old FSMs etc, and he asked me what my opinion is on the best way of getting them, and I told him I didn't really know, but that I'd ask all you Blighty-based blighters here.
So, I'm asking. Where do you purchase your things? I think he'd prefer to get all the stuff from the same place, as I do, instead of going direct each time to the different labels. Is there a good on-line store in Britain itself which anyone would recommend? I would go on, but I think you get the point.
In short, where do you bloody Blighty-based bounders get your stuff, and why do you get it from there?
Thanking you in advance!

I used to go through Screen Archives, but now I mainly go directly through the labels.
I don't know of any UK based suppliers, but it's cheaper (and quicker) to order from the US anyway.

I don't think that there's any UK-based site for ordering CDs. When I would buy only CDs I used SAE for everything and was completely satisfied with their service.
I think that some of the CDs from "specialty labels" are listed in Amazon in the UK but I am not sure how prices compare with sourcing them from stores such as SAE.

Screen Archives is a great service.

Forgot to mention Elite Soundtracks... they're based in the UK, and I've bought from them quite often.
http://elitesoundtracks.com/
They also sell on eBay under the names "elitesoundtracks" and also "guyz-n-girlz".
They have lots of the official new releases when they come out, but be aware that they also have a few "unmentionable" CDRs of their own. But all the official releases are legit.
It all depends on your Big Bro's view towards online ordering... cost, untrustworthiness, fear of the unknown, wary of items getting lost etc. Maybe he needs educating in the likes of credit card protection and Paypal guarantees etc.
I've also used Elite for soundtracks where the likes of Varese, LLL etc have sold out. They even managed to get me the LLL Friday 13th box set and the Karate Kid box set last year long after they had sold out.
But normally I purchase direct with the labels. I prefer to buy on as soon as they are released so just have to cough up the delivery charge but I've never had any problem with import taxes or duties and usually the delivery time is really speedy.

Living in Reading we're "lucky" enough to have a reasonably big HMV which I occasionally use and the lottery that are charity shops. Occasionally lucky enough to get one or two decent finds.
However it's mostly Amazon, Lalaland, Intrada, SAE, and Varese etc......
