rad Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I love HMV AND Record Collector. Both eat an unhealthy amount of my earnings (as do HMV online, Amazon and Play to be fair). AND I miss Fopp, Andy's Records and Our Price/Virgin (not Zavvi though, that was rubbish). It'd be a sad day if there were no record shops (sorry, music retailers) around, particularly as most places aren't lucky enough to have a Record Collector. I would much rather buy music from a music retailer (chain or independent) than a supermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I only moved to Sheffield in 1998 so I missed its predecessor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top4718 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think HMV sealed their own fate with their high pricing policies in the 80’s. I remember when CD’s came to the fore HMV raised the price of vinyl and audio tapes to ridiculous levels, so they were only slightly cheaper than CD’s. I also remember non-chart CD’s being £15-£17 at around the time when online sales became popular. People get used to shopping elsewhere hence the decline.

JFKvsNixon Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 HMV's problem is a simple one, but one that they haven't been able to solve. The problem is, why would a customer pay more money to buy their product from HMV when they can get it for a lot less money somewhere else?

Speed Demon Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 REFLEX RECORDS is still open, but they sell loads of old second hand crap nowadays and has gone down hill, their customer service is awful they do not have a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny11 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 instead, soon you will only be able to buy albums from supermarkets and that, no matter how you look at it is a very bad thing whats wrong with buying albums from tesco/asda? its convinent and much cheaper then HMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
