There was some speculation on the radio just now that the music and film industry are likely to try to support HMV in some way.
As they would like there to be at least one chain selling their goods on the high st.
But it was also mentioned that in order for economic recovery to take place, there needs to be a clearing out of the dead wood.
Sad times.
I bought my first album from HMV - The Beatles For Sale, on cassette.
'Member cassettes?

I totally agree with the dead wood comments, that is how capitalism works
Sad for the workers better for the rest of us

Well ultimately it should be better for the workers too.
These are generally people whose jobs will be going sooner or later.
Might as well make it sooner and get on with things.

Oh and to answer the question.
Not a lot - the old days were a bit shit.
We've got loads of better stuff now.
