I've not seen this list LW, thanks for the quick response! I thought there were only 4 shops anyway

Is Manchester saved? Of course Fopp is a different animal to the HMV shops.

[Sorry Richard I didn't notice your more current reference to Fopp].

Having found the list, I note that ALL the Fopp outlets are axed!
I see it perhaps makes business sense in terms of people now downloading music/video rather than buying a hard copy but it might be short-sighted in the long run. Record shops keep returning despite all the predictions!

There was a lot of regret when "Music's Not Dead" expired in Bexhill recently but it now lives again as a part of the De La Warr Pavillion Cafe/Performance Space!
