Located in one of the main shopping areas in Hull this is a very large entertainment store with a…read morelot of choice to choose from. The store is quite deceiving and once inside is much more like a department store then just a shop!! From CD's, DVD's, T-shirts, games, books and would you believerecords!! The staff are friendly and are always there when you need help pointing you in the right direction or even if they do not have the item in store that you are looking for they can check to see if it can be ordered instore at no additional cost. If i am not ordering online, which i dont actually rate their website as i do think delivery times are slow compared to others, then i always ensure HMV is my first stop for my entertainment needs. You can see why this is a long standing company that has stood the test of the credit crunch.

A great change from the indifference shown by most large retailers. I only visit the shop once or twice a year(when visiting friends in Louth) but am always impressed with the quality of service.

If you're seriously into music then this is a place to visit. Situated in a little complex across…read morethe road from freshney place is what I describe a vinyl heaven. The shop has a massive range of new and (mostly) second hand vinyl records. There are some cd's, dvd's and other formats available but the majority of the stock is good old fashioned vinyl records! The stock ranges from some 50's and 60's classics through the great rock era of the 70's, goth, new wave, punk, early 80's and then the new wave of british heavy metal of the 80's followed by the resurgent glam rock and heavy metal of the early 90's right through to the more modern indie and grunge. The only problem I have is not having enough time to spend here - it's very easy to lose a hour or two leafing through the records - and not having enough money to buy everything I want. The records are usually in excellent condition and the owner will play them there for you to see that there are no jumps or scratches. I've never had a problem buying from here. Love it.

As one of the few high street retailers selling CD's and DVD's i'm getting more disappointed with…read moreHMV. They seem to constantly have a sale on and although this is great for the customer it never seems to make the staff rearrange displays or order in different stock. I can now walk into the Grimsby store and past the aisle of TV box sets and go - Sopranos, Alias, House, A Team, etc without even looking and know they'll all be in the same place as last visit. Also the staff are pretty indifferent. I like my music and film but HMV is not a likable experience at present.

I feel similar to other reviewers of this store. When HMV first opened there was a fantastic range…read moreof music, films and games - even vinyl records. At this time there were three major music retailers in the town as well as others like woolworths who also carried a small section of similar stock. The prices were keen and the staff were helpful. Since the demise of Andy's Records both HMV and Virgin (now zavvi) seem to have gone downhill. The range of stock is poor and the prices are no longer that competitive. The staff are poor at best and definately have a lack of interest in what they are selling or the customer. If I visit HMV it is usually as a last resort these days.
