For those harboring fond memories of hanging out at the former mega CD giant’s flagship in Heeren, it’s time to bid the music retailer adieu altogether. HMV will close its last outlet at Marina Square come Sep 30, but all is not lost. Apparently, there may be a new store in the near future, although plans are under wraps for now. Given that declining CD sales has contributed to the exit of Tower Records, and Sembawang Music Centre and Warner Music ceasing distribution of CDs in Singapore, we are not sure if a resurgence is a solid possibility…but we are hopeful.
In the meantime, while we may be experiencing a dearth of CDs here, records are making a comeback and here’s where you can kick start your vinyl collection. Or go to the old goldies here.
