Default HMV's flagship Oxford Street store Open Again.


[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.]

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

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

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
