I've got Friday off to do some shopping and I had a sudden urge to go to a physical shop and buy some music!
But apart from HMV, are there any shops that sell physical media anymore?
For context, I'm in Surrey (I have a great one in Kingston but it's 90 minutes by bus) - I don't think Sutton has anything. Haven't been to Croydon in years.
Any local advice, let me know!
:-)

sorted byWere not too bad in Manchester as along with HMV we also have a Fopp store which although owned by HMV seems a lot more music orientated than HMV seems to be these days, we also have a few record stores in the Northern Quarter but they seem to concentrate mainly on vinyl.
It seems that Tesco and Sainsburys etc started selling music a lot cheaper than the music stores and once they all but disappeared from the high street they decide to stop selling music altogether, I remember spending full afternoons browsing the likes of HMV, Virgin, Our Price, John Menzies, WHS, Boots plus independents.
There are a few stores online apart from Amazon that I use like Chalkys, Yachew, Townsend, Base, Music Magpie, wowhd and cdjapan but I do find Amazon the most reliable.
Poundland has always had a good selection of stuff I've lost or damaged.
Wasn't aware ASDA did CDs still, will have a look tomorrow!
And the Kingston one too apparently (edited)
