Aparrantly called in on the 3rd Jan. Can't say I'm overly surprised. The two local shops (one was an MVC before MZ bought them) have now closed. Not a great loss in some ways -the service I recieved from those characters was useless. But some of the prices were good.

BTW -possible contributing factor: anyone else noticed that album prices have tumbled in Virgin recently? A goodly proportion of those in the racks in Hull, aside from new releases, are now around Â£6.99.

Thought this happened months ago??? MZ took over the MVC near me the closed within weeks, not a HMV.

Obviously a protracted process. Don't get me started on HMV though -still have the gall to charge nearly double what most other places do. How do they get away with it?

I dont know, its years since I bought anything from them! I am near a Borders that has an excellent music department with a very good selection of Â£4.99 or less CD's, they also stock the more obscure material that most high-street stores dont stock.

Hi

Here in Bath we have 2 Fopps that easily beat HMV for price and almost range, plus they are doing vinyl again and in nearby Bristol there are now 3 Fopps. To expand a business when sales are supposed to be falling amazes me.
