Ats funny cause HMV just took over the Virgin Magastore in my city. I still wouldn't invest in them anytime soon.
Well did you read the original post regarding hmv?
Unfortunately hmv are "top dog for music" here in the uk.
They really have the high street monopoly,not that i actually go on to the high street to buy my music these days!
Unfortunately britain is becoming like America with regard to the amount of money spent online.
I mean,i will always go to my local record/cd store (Barnsley ,s.yorks) as soon as a new order single/album is released.(unfortunately this just happens to be hmv)(incidently i have been rallying my local councilors for the last 10 years for us to have an h.m.v in our town of Barnsley),
We did eventually get one,probably one of the smallest in the country!
But having said that, the wftsc 7's were my "first" proper Online purchase ,apart from promos on ebay.
I'm not bitter bout H.M.V, they are just fookin wank!
They did have a lot of trouble about the same time as the wftsc 7"s came out,the whole operation moved to jersey (uk)(must be for tax reasons!)
I did say in a post earlier that i would never set foot in an hmv again,but what choice do i have?
In my town we have 4 record shops:
MVC - Soon to be shut down as they are in recievership
Music Choice - horribly laid out shop!
Woolies - Only albums -no singles
So there i am,its either H.M.V, or nothing.
