Hmv in Stratford is easy to find and as usual as with all their stores they sell music,games, dvds…read moreand other bits and bobs. This store is very very narrow which is for the size of other stores a bit dissappointing. But never the less it still holds up quite well. Being narrow means if two people want to pas each other you quite literally have to turn sideways to pass its that small. Once past that problem its clear the store requires more room. The tills are set back to aid with room on the left of the store on the way in. Recent releases of cd etc are at the fron of the store. And as you go further back you find more music, dvds and the game section. Right at the back of the store you will find an area which sells headphones and speakers from makes such as Bose, Sony and philips. I pod accessories are also available too. The store gets 4 out of 5 as the staff being helpful and the amazing amount of stock they cram in makes up for the store being stupidly small.

Prices are reasonable, about comparable to US after the conversion. Music DVDs are upstairs, CDs are downstairs. A very nice selection and a big store, much bigger than other places (for example, Bath).

There's so much to take in, the staff really care about the music they sell and it's well worth coming in weekly to have a listen to the latest releases. There's a good range of posters advertising the upcoming dance events in Bath and Bristol, too, and they'll always stick a poster up if you're organising something yourself. They have a fair selection of second hand CD, if you're still caught up in the nostalgic age of music buying, so I can't recommend this place enough, especially for local DJs looking for something new to, er, drop.

The staff still searched the town centre finding me in tesco supermarket. It stopped great embarrassment and anxiety had I discovered it missing at the till. It's not often you find staff going the extra mile, but I'd like to give special thanks to Steve, Richard and Markus who are indeed a credit to Hmv as are others who I forget first names. Big thanks to you all.

The opening hours can be a little erratic, but you'll spend hours browsing through the piles and piles of stuff. The chap running the place is very friendly and gave me a decent sum when I flogged off all the old records that I had lying around. Unusual, but worth a visit.

I ventured to Reading on an excursion from Uxbridge expecting to find a fairly monotonous, dull…read moretown. That's what I found in all honesty except for one or two gems. This place was one of the gems. More specifically than Oxfam it is an Oxfam Music Shop and it's really one of the best offerings Oxfam has. There are boxes filled with records of all genres from bluegrass to techno and a good selection of CDs and music books too. The prices are much better than you'd find in London and more akin to a charity shop than a record store. For me the best part was the classical music selection. 10 records for £5. That's 50p for an LP. Insane. I was giddy, I couldn't take too many back with me but I managed to find 10 with some supremely awesome arrangements and wonderfully designed covers. At 50p you can just pick 10 random records and take them home to listen to, if you don't like it you can redonate it at no really great loss and if you do then it's a bonus. I really wish I lived closer so I could go back time and time again. Also, erm, the staff were supremely hot. I mean it's kind of a cliché that hot indie types would work in an Oxfam music store but they do. Seriously.

This interesting charity shop is set just off Broad Street and sells primarily CDs, DVDs, sheet…read moremusic, LPs, EPs and other vinyls. Sometimes there can be some real classics to purchase, and when I was in there a customer enquired about an Iron Maiden LP which I think was priced around £35, so some collectors items can be had. I bought two pieces of sheet music which they priced at 99p each (both single songs). They have music for piano, recorder, organ, keyboard, double bass and guitar. I was very tempted by a Placebo CD for £3.99 in excellent condition although I refrained. Definitely worth a look if you're into music, and also want to help a worthwhile cause.
