[HMV now stocks pop culture merchandise
and music technology in its "new concept" stores]


That's better than the USA sweet shop
that took it over



Reported on BBC1HD London News

[Doug Putnam, Sunrise Records' owner of HMV,
said the "new concept" stores were "really working".

He added new stores would also open
in Europe in 2023, which would be a
"launchpad for an exciting new era for HMV".]

[Canadian entrepreneur Mr Putman, 34,
bought the retail chain Sunrise Records in 2014.
He previously bought HMV's Canadian business in 2017,
expanding his small chain into a
national operation with 80 outlets.]

That's good to hear, HMV was a great shop, I spent many hours in there as a teenager

To be fair, based on that screenshot it may as well be Forbidden Planet. Where's all the music?

(Apart from the cd the customer has)

They still do loads of CDs and records but they obviously needed to diversify to stay alive

I do actually still buy CDs and love going to HMV

[Crimson Dynamo]

Smallest boy loves going there for posters and t-shirts and he also buys horror dvds

I used to buy CDs up until I changed my car last time but my new car has no CD player so it's a bit pointless now

I do have a record player at home though so I buy Records still

Cassettes are having a huge comeback

I didn't want to buy one for the house, I have plenty of other ways to listen to music there, it'd only be taking up more space and gathering dust
