The staff were friendly and helpful if you have a question. Film and books are downstairs. CD's are down in and to the right, while the l.p's line the middle to the back and to the left. New releases and specials are in the front of the store. Music lovers, you will not be disappointed! The special prices of some items are like icing on a cake!

Once a thriving independent with a string of shops across the country, Fopp is now a small chain of…read moreeight shops bankrolled by HMV. Whilst this branch is a lot smaller and smarter than the original Edinburgh branch on Cockburn Street, it still stocks a cracking selection of CDs, DVDs, box-sets, graphic novels, books and tee-shirts. There's no listening booths unfortunately, but a lot of the new releases come with written descriptions and the staff are usually willing to play certain album if you ask nicely. As for the stock, we're talking fantastic compilations, back catalogues, re-issues and new releases for bargain basement prices. With great Blondie, Human League, Cocteau Twins, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald and Bob Dylan remasters for £3 each, I defy any fanatical music or film fan to come out with less than half a dozen goodies!

If it's classical music you are into and you're keen to expand your music collection (though I…read moreshould add there are a small amount of other genres here) this might be the place for you. It's prices suggest that for the more common classical numbers you are better off going elsewhere where they can be picked up more cheaply. However, there are the less famous CDs that you cannot buy elsewhere available for purchase here. If those are the ones you are seeking out then come straight here.

This shop appears to have forgotten this fact and still offers the rarer CDs and records at high prices and in today's market it doesn't stand a chance. The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable so despite the fact the stacks of boxes make general browsing impossible, if there is something you are after it can be found here. However, for the rarer CDs you're looking to pay on the wrong side of £10 with no negotiation on price. Simply put, the internet has made this shop redundant.

Now - you know that noise Homer Simpson makes when he thinks about food? That drooling noise? Well…read morethat is precisely the sound I made the first time I found this place - and to be truthful, the sound I make each time I return. Cult Fiction Movies is a magical place. It deals specially in no longer produced, rare and old films. In most cases the films you can find are all three. Cult also seems to have a handy knack at finding unbelievable box sets and box set art - an entire Hogwarts Castle to house four Harry Potter DVD's being a personal favourate. Cult Fiction Movies isnt what you would call expensive either - yes, the more rare or special the film is the more you will pay, but there is a huge collection of films for around £4 - a bargain in any bodies books, let along for such rare films. Cult Fiction Movies also has a delivery service, so no matter where you are in the world, that deleted edition of the Terminator can be yours. Cult Fiction Movies is a fantastic treasure trove of films, and if you are looking for something rare/old/other - this should be your first port of call. Oh dear, I seem to be making that noise again.

I agree, I've never heard of them too. Nonetheless the wacky labels and low budget productions provided ten minutes of laughter. And then the reality set in, the shop is full of the worst film releases ever made and I struggled to find one movie even remotely interesting. The dedicated film buff may rejoice amidst the old B movies and horribly named films- I however just walked straight out disinterested in its offerings.
