No sign of a revival of Fopp then, the independent record chain, with the news that megagiant HMV has bought the name and a few of the most profitable stores.
Don't know how it thinks it can do any better, given that HMV itself is in trouble. We'll see. But i have noticed that HMV has become a bit more competitive on price lately - I got a 10 disc Hitchcock box set in there for £25.
