Ah, thank you.  BUT:  I had the address when I looked for Los Apson, and I 
even managed to locate the building.  The problem is that addresses in 
Tokyo are just codes for postmen - not street locations - and without a map 
("turn right at the mugicha machine then left at the Lotteria" etc) you 
will often find it impossible to locate a shop.  Even with a map it took me 
about an hour to find the excellent experimental shop Manual of 
Errors.  There turn out to be six buildings with the name of the one 
housing Los Apson in Nishi-Shinjuku, numbered I was told in the order 
built, and the one I found after two hours of searching held only a 1970s 
UK hard rock shop behind a Mexican restaurant.  Then again being lost in 
Tokyo has given me at least one album cover, so I have no complaints.
