The all new Fopp, you know, HMV in disguise, have announced they will, after all, open a branch in London. HMV had had troubles persuading the landlords of Fopp's old Covent Garden store to let them stay on there, but the landlords have had a change of heart and let the record shop stay. As previously reported, HMV have taken over seven of Fopps stores since the indie record chain went into liquidation earlier this year. The six shops, in London, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Manchester, Nottingham and Glasgow (two there), will all open next week, and will keep the Fopp name, brand and, HMV promise us, ethos. Fingers crossed, we always liked Fopp.
