CD store in London!!

The wife and I were in Picadilly Circus and I stumbled upon a joint called HMV. It had a Metal CD section. Imagine my joy!! All the Heavy Metal bands I've grown to love there. This was easily the best Metal selection I've ever seen at a store. I decided to get a souvenier cd and picked up Wolf - Ravenous. It was just nice seeing all those cds in the flesh.

Good pick up, I guarantee you will like that album.

The problem with all HMVs are, even if they do have a good selection (which is only ever true of the ones in the big cities, I think), they normally charge quite rip off prices. I was looking in the same one you're talking about last week and frequently saw metal CDs at £15, which just isn't right.

I thought you quit albums for a year.

We used to have a HMV in NYC but I dont think it was as nice as the ones in london.

I was in that exact same store about 4 years ago when I went to London. Cool place, but the prices can be a bit high. Did pick up a few goodies when I was there, though, that were marked down for whatever reason.



How did you enjoy my 4 yr. old sloppy seconds?

Stender has the truth of it, it's a souvenier. Counts against my 24, but not against the psychology of my addiction.

Sideshow - four years was apparently enough time for a 2nd virginity to ripen!!

The cds there were VERY expensive, but I figured that's the price I was paying for the locale and the experience.

I did a similiar thing when I was in London for a brief time a few years ago. I went into a Virgin Megastore, well-knowing that things would be over-priced. But the selection was so killer, I picked up a few things anyway just in case sometime in the future, if the occasion ever arose that a message board was created and I would eventually sign-up and become a member of, I'd have something to contribute.

Looks like things worked out pretty well in that respect.

Virgin Megastore (which later became Zavvi) actually became really reasonably priced over the last few years for metal. I picked up loads of CDs for £5-6, which is a steal over here. Shame they went out of business.
