Damaged poster

Blown away by this store! I went in for the first time to pick up a record I ordered, and I'm just so glad stores like it are still around, nostalgic and a lot of variety, I love it!! The staff was also really helpful and quick with getting my order, so generally very happy with hmv :)

Bought some vinyl as a xmas present and the server was friendly. But the record turned out to be warped and jumped so took it back to the store, they didn't have any in stock so they ordered a new one and had it delivered with no hassle. Was a lovely young lady who served us.
