I don’t think their are any shops like HMV, or any record shops near where I live. The nearest HMV stores closed down in the last failure.
It means a trip to Manchester to find record shops and HMV. Since the reorganisation of public transport in the area what was once a 45 minute journey is now an hour and a half so trips to Manchester are few a far between.

Supermarkets stock CD’s but a very restricted choice so those are no good to me. I buy DVD’s occasionally but do it online, a 3 hour return journey for something that may not be in stock is too much for me.

Most of my music listening is from the radio.
