I went in my local HMV 2day and found noooo copys of Lotusflow3r CD when last week there was about 10 all squashed in the Prince bit of the shop.

Do u think that they had 2 pull them coz they were £30 and no 1 could pay that?

I duno why I didnt ask at the desk but I didnt want to ask 'Were are the CDs gone coz I wana look at them again! lol!!

When i went into the store a few weeks ago (the one in oxford street) they a staff review it mentioned that it would be in the store for a limited time.

It was probably on a sale or return deal.
If it's time is up, then they'd all get recalled.

Maybe other places will be carrying them soon. I don't understand what he was doing with that Target only stuff.

appaerntly-its got a european release -sep 7th

theres just been a thread about it put up

the rumours of Parisian dates persist

That's the wave of the future on selling your music.
Here in New York there are no large music retailers any longer.
The 2 Virgin Megastores just shut down earlier this year.
Target or Best Buy are the only places here equipped to sell large amounts of music.
There are still little stores scattered around the city though.

yup-our Virgin closed years ago-and became zavvi-which went bust last year.....We have one-HMV

i think alot of folk now buy music at Asda or Tesco

luckily-Birmingham is close-though again-their small indipendant shops we all used to love are gone too

and it makes u wonder when reports say that cd sales r down..maybe it's because not everyone can get 2 a best buy/target or whatever that's 5 miles away from where they live

Keep in mind also that these chains aren't equipped to stock hundreds of each artists cds like Tower, Virgin & HMV did. They probably stock a hundred cds of select artists which they believe will sell. It's death for an unknown or a credible artist(i.e. Van Hunt, Nikka Costa) to not be able to move cds in certain cities on a profitable scale.
