Real find, indeed! Quality album!

Count yourself lucky. Here in Truro, Fopp opened and closed after about 9 months. God knows why they opened in the first place. On the positive side we haven't got a Zavvi here so not effected by their closure! Just one shop here now - HMV - and the way things are going they'll gradually shift the jazz section into the broom cupboard to make way for more useless DVDs. What I don't understand is if its cheaper and easier to buy CDs online why doesn't the same apply to DVDs when shop space allocated is increasing. CDs significantly replaced by downloading, DVDs not as yet.
