You know, I'm prepared to wait (I think) for most things to go to Fopp or whoever to be sold for £5.

Current one: the new Nick Drake CD.

Am I a stingygit? Or what stuff you waiting for the price to drop to nowt much?

Scissor Sisters album... the newer Goldfrapp one (was very impressed by that re-released single a week or two back, and the debut is already @ a fiver), and probably much else, if I had the time to think longer. :)

I didn't know Primark had been a Co-Op. It must have been good.

I got the Suicide ones from Fopp in Reading.

The staff are a bit miserable in the London one (which is at the bottom of the upper part of Shaftesbury Avenue - more or less Covent Garden - next to Charing Cross Road).

Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 28 July 2005 10:49 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't go to Fopp much, but the last things I bought there were probably the Very Best of Chas and Dave (£7) and Mike Westbrook's Solid Gold Cadillac/Brain Damage (£3). The woman at the counter gave me a very odd look, even after I'd explained that several musicians appeared on both records, at which stage the look became distinctly odder.

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 28 July 2005 10:51 (nineteen years ago) link

The FOPP in Cambridge Circus has a weird air of expectancy about it, a treasure trove vibe, pregnant with bargain must-haves. Just approaching it you can feel the money in your pocket working itself loose, I don't get this from Selectadisc, is it just me?

Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 28 July 2005 11:28 (nineteen years ago) link

(xpost x 2)

Curiously, I tend to feel exactly the reverse, probably 'cos Selectadisc has an infinitely wider range of stock and overall lower prices (i.e. lots of £4.99s, virtually no £15s).

The original Fopp shop in Renfield Street was a splendid place, even if Gordon the owner insisted on calling me "George Russell" every time I came in.

Also Meters, Betty Davis, Curtis et al for £7. Fopp used to be great for cheap classic vinyl but it dropped off for a while. Happy days are here again.

Only bought Oh Yeah today, but shall pick up a few of these soon.

Also on CD for £3 - Fall, Replacements, Meat Puppets. :)

Stew (stew s), Monday, 3 October 2005 11:12 (nineteen years ago) link

The Fopp in Cardiff has become a regular haunt of mine, just enough time in my half hour lunch break to walk to Fopp, check out what's cheap, purchase as necessary, and walk back to work again a more cheerful soul. Recent purchases have included those RT "Post Punk" and "Indie" dbl CDs, "Horses", "Correct use of soap", "Metal box", "A ghost is born", "Hurdy gurdy man", "Aw C'mon/No you c'mon" for a fiver each, plus in their ridiculous £3 bin that recent Neil Young greatest hits CD. Cardiff has just realised that they should really be selling more CDs and changed their upstairs into more music rather than books and videos. It helps a lot.

Mind you, the MVC in Newport has been selling ridiculous records for silly money this last month - "The trip" (both Tom Middleton and St Etienne) for £4, "Produced by Trevor Horn" for the same, "Only Yazoo" and "Hot shots II" for £2...

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 3 October 2005 13:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I went to HMV in London's busy Oxford Circus yesterday and the Franzferdinandiness bypassed me entirely, like a Stobart truck weaving its way through Irlam when I'm at Scotch Corner. I bought several albums, but not that one, as I had already been sent a copy. Perhaps one of these days I will listen to it.

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 05:55 (nineteen years ago) link

New Franz is heaps of fun actually. First three songs are marvellous but it does run out of steam somewhat. There's some filler on there, but its better played and better produced than the filler on the debut. And I'm starting to like the 60s pop stylings. Walk Away is like the Sparks go Merseybeat. Well, kinda.
That said, I got sent a copy too, so I don't know if I would have bought it...

Stew (stew s), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 08:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Monsieur Fopp has redesigned his shops in London and Reading. They are better, I have to say.

I go the complete Spritualized vol. 2, which I was quite pleased about because I had been waiting for it to come down to a fiver. Then I listened to it and I was not so pleased.

There was quite a lot of good stuff going cheap, I may have to go back and have another look.

Advantage of Fopp over Selectadisc: you can take stuff back if you don't like it, or if you are a tightarse.

I am more overwhelmed by Bob Dylanism than Franz Ferdinandness these days.

PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 10:08 (nineteen years ago) link

There was a set of the complete works of Bob Dylan - 40 CDs - on sale in HMV last week for £75. I purchased a copy in order to try to educate myself more fully in the art of Bob Dylanism. Was this money wisely spent?

You should go, one day. It is not far from your bus route, which will be bendy-only as from Friday, I see. Other than that, you are not missing much. I only went because I found £20 on Sunday and thought it might disappear in a puff of smoke if I didn't spend it quickly. I regret having spent it though. The digipak trays are loose on the Twin peaks set, which annoys me, and Lou Reed NYC Man is at least half rubbish.

PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 06:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Loose digipak trays? The boycott starts HERE!

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 07:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I got that NYC man set, and realise now I didn't actually need it, after having it sat here unplayed for three months. Along with that Neil Young "Decade" set and the Prince/Symbol "Emancipation" thingy.

mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 07:12 (nineteen years ago) link

I have had loose digipak trays before and they are impossible to stick back on. This may be the root of the problem in the first place. The reason I am am a bit miffed is because I like to watch things and then sell them mint condition, innit, preferably for more than I paid. Now, that option is closed to me.

I can still take NYC Man back, being within my Sucker And See period.

Poor.Old.Tired.Horse. (Stew), Wednesday, 9 July 2014 10:30 (ten years ago) link

got the Bob Stanley book and read the first few chapters on the train down, v pleased I made the purchase. Makes me want to listen to everything he praises, even the songs I've heard hundreds of times as sonic wallpaper.

Merdeyeux, Thursday, 10 July 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link

The Bob Stanley book is good, yes. I am surprised it is so cheap so quickly. Ditto The Beatles book, I suppose. OK, ditto all books.

I got the Beck Odelay deluxe for a fiver (from Fnac, not Fopp) and it has one of those Aphex Twin pisstake mixes on it. It is not worth the while, the deluxe edition, I don't think.

I also got McCartney and McCartney II for a fiver each, in their 2CD versions. The packaging is very nice, and there are live tracks from Glasgow 1979, which must have been the bizz.

PJ Miller, Friday, 11 July 2014 08:11 (ten years ago) link

Those big Faber paperback first editions tend to end up in Fopp after a few months. A more compact second edition should be along soon enough.
Might grab Macca II. The extra tracks are glorious - all his bonged out wonky Kratfwerk jams like Secret Friend and the amazing Lee Perry does the Grange Hill theme of Check My Machine...

Yeah, was in Fopp in Glasgow today and they had the Artifical Eye Truffauts in various combos of cheap. Also, a set of five early Bergman films for a £10.

robin redbreast (as mentioned in the sapphire and steel thread) also £3 with another purchase.

Thesedays, if I happen to be in London I usually drop in but I end up having to force myself to buy a couple of £5 CDs or books, mainly because I won't be in for the forseeable. It's usually not worth it.

The downstairs at Fopp in Glasgow Union St has removed a lot of DVD/blu racks to make way for the vinyls - I guess that's where the money is. They still occasionally have a cheap DVD label sale - Arrow, Artificial Eye, BFI, Masters of Cinema etc - and I enjoyed some of those jazz/soul/funk Japanese import CDs they were punting out at £3 a pop.

Their remainder books are the best and cheapest in Glasgow (as opposed to The Works, admittedly) and still throw up the odd bargain.

Is something happening to Fopp/HMV? I've been in recently twice and there was like 5 new releases they didn't have which are definitely out now. Like Arrow, Second Run, 88 Films stuff that they usually get. Have some labels said theyre not really benefitting from stores anymore. Feels ominous to me.

steven, soda jerk (sic), Saturday, 30 March 2019 17:17 (five years ago) link

I should have mentioned I've heard about the many store closures but it seems like there might be extra troubles when they seem to not be getting some new releases you could normally rely on.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 30 March 2019 17:55 (five years ago) link

The store closures are due to massive financial troubles. Lack of money, credit and staff can affect a shop's ability to order new stock.

steven, soda jerk (sic), Saturday, 30 March 2019 18:20 (five years ago) link

They weren't getting any new stock while they were between owners. And now I think their new owner is generally more invested in vinyl than blu-ray or DVD or CD. Shame they never seem to have sales on Indicator product, or Eureka/MOC.

Ward Fowler, Saturday, 30 March 2019 22:30 (five years ago) link

Westfield branch of HMV has been left exactly as it was when it closed the day before HMV went into administration. All the stock is still sitting there on the shop floor and there are screens still on at the back, some playing videos. So weird. It’s possible the new owners are negotiating with the landlord so they can reopen the branch at some point, but dudes: mind that electricity bill.
