Just went into HMV in Reading - no CD/Vinyl price crash items, just a tiny section for DVDs

 

Yeah it seems to be random HMVs which is a bit annoying because it is a wasted trip to find out which.

Il be getting Melodrama by Lorde for a tenner on vinyl then!!

I visited HMV Bristol City Centre today - there was a small section with Madge's current album £4,99 and her last album £2,99.

 

I did pick up Toni Braxton's latest "Sex and Cigarettes" for £2,99 also "Colours" by Walking on Cars also for the same price. I also got "Mamma Mia" soundtrack for the recent movie for £2.99 as well!!

 

I am not sure whether upstairs had any sales on, as I was with my sister, Mum and two kids under 6!

Bromley HMV has a decent CD and vinyl price crash selection if anyone is in London (it’s 15 minutes by train from Victoria).

 

Loads of recent vinyl at £9.99 and lots of cheap CDs - I got a compilation called Girl Power for £2.99. Loads I didn’t get as I already bought at full price only a few months ago like Madonna, Robyn and Carly Rae Jepsen.

Ive been meaning to go to HMV to see if there are any vinyl offers - has anyone spied any in the winter sales?
HMV have matched all of Amazon’s sale prices - just wish they would promote the fact their website is up and running again and not constantly go after Amazon and just run an amazing end of year sale to blow them out the water tbh #SupportHMV

I’ve picked up ones for £9.99 in sales before but generally new copies don’t go much below that.

When you think, they're really missing a trick. If they were a bit cheaper I bet they'd sell more. I mean how many are people going to buy when I see some at well over £20.

 

Are they really that much more than CD's to press?

The premium price is down to supply and demand I think. There's only a limited amount of pressing plants in Europe that can do vinyl and many of them are working at full capacity. So the manufacturers can charge more. Plus the vinyl these days is of much better quality than it was when you and I would have bought albums. I remember buying some of those K-Tel albums where the vinyl was so thin it would almost wobble! Now they vinyl is of much higher quality. Plus of course, as vinyl is more of niche product there's a significant mark-up on the price at all points of the manufacturing, distribution and retailing chain.

No bargains! I have a question.

 

I normally used Google Music to buy download albums but it has obviously now gone! Apart from the obvious I-Tunes and Amazon what other digital stores are around?

7Digital is still going (they don't update their front page much but new releases are still being added) and obviously there's Bandcamp for a lot of indie stuff.

I'd forgotten about 7Digital - used to use them years ago! Just checked and I still have the account though the stuff I had downloaded back in the day is no longer available to download as the tracks have been removed from the site.
