By sale I suppose you mean they won`t be charging their usual 30% dearer than everyone else rate :-) (I never shop there - robbers!).

Thank you for the depressing realisation that 1996 was 18 years ago. Jesus.

Like all overchargers I pick and choose what I buy there.

I was nearby this morning so dropped in... the selection is (ahem) "compact". In fact I walked right by it and this was about 10:30am so it hadn't been picked over yet. In the front door to the left for any others dropping down

That said I picked up a few bargains...

Rolling Stones - Some Girls
Rolling Stones - Exiles on Main St
Nirvana - Unplugged
The Strypes - Snapshot
James Vincent McMorrow - Early in the Morning
St Vincent - St Vincent
Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus

Dropped into HMV on grafton street to check out their Black Friday sale. 40% off all vinyl. Was pretty busy and plenty of buyers.
Not a huge choice but I spent €53 and picked up 4 albums, all multi disk.

Joan as Policewoman - The Classic
The Who - Live at the Isle of Wight - 3 disk, white vinyl
Stevie Nicks - Songs from the Vault
Belle & Sebastian - BBC Sessions
