HMV is to close 60 stores, suggesting that for many, physical formats for music are a thing of the past
In 2011 we'll be seeing less of the iconic dog and gramophone on our high streets as HMV announces it is to shut 60 of its stores across the country. Shares in the retail chain fell by 25% on the news, following a miserable year for the company in which its market value had already declined by more than two thirds.
But as HMV approaches its 80th birthday, is leaving the house to get hold of music a thing of the past? Do you still buy CDs? Are you happy to let go of the whole notion of owning a recording? Or for you, can nothing beat the tangibility of an album sleeve and the smell of new vinyl?
