I think someone may have bought the name and will be reopening some stores. Fopp was great, loads of 5 quid CDs (and cheap vinyl too, back in the days before I had a CD player). It seemed that they would always have the stuff I liked at discounted prices - maybe 'cause no-one else was buying it. Great selection of books too. The Fopp in Aberdeen always had a great sound system. Or at least better than the one I had at home. I can't tell you the number of times I heard them playing something in the store, it sounded great, I bought it, and was disappointed when I got it home. Actually I can, it was three times.
