Fopp

[Guest pioneer]

I don't think there is a better music store in Aberdeen at the moment than Fopp. Wide selection of music, all genre's, books and DVD's. Pisses on the likes of rip off stores such as HMV and Virgin.

 

I bought tonight; The Very Best of the Stone Roses -

[Jaws]

Agree with that. Heaps of bargains at around a fiver or thereabouts. Bought Traffic for a fiver. Used to think HMV was the place for good deals but changed my mind.

[Supersonic]

Couldnt agree more....love that shop..I dunno what Virgin are playing at...bought Ian Brown's Greatest Hits at Fopp for

[roccovellhung]

Aye its nae bad but........

 

went in a few months ago looking for the new Frank Black album - went in on the Saturday, none in stock so asked the guy behind the counter who told me the release date had been put back, headed upto 1up to double check and lo and behold they had it available.

 

Its a class album by the way

I was in the there a few months back and picked up a few bargains for a fiver. And I saw the Faithless greatest hits for

It looks like Fred in OneUp has the upper hand over HMV and Virgin.

 

He has the ability to change prices at the drop of a hat unlike the other two who have to wait for 'head' office to shift arse.

 

I have often found albums to be 1(one)p cheaper in OneUp than in Fopp.

Granted that's going to make no difference to your personal budget but the principal's good.

 

OneUp(Fred) has also given me a discount over and above the cheapest prices in town on occasions.

I have'nt had than in Fopp since Ewan(now manager in the Reading Fopp) left.

 

Must confess to buying more of my STUFF online where the average price for a cd seems to be between

But couldn't that be because Fopp charge whole pounds whereas OneUp does the whole .99p thing?

[phoenix]

Well Uni Don , I assumed it was OneUp's response to prevailing marketing conditions but mebbe your right.

Mebbe I'll ask Fred (altho' I've already spent my monthly allocation - Fabulous Thunderbirds -'Painted On' , 'Scorpio - Cosmic Grooves' )

[uni_don]

It could well be a combination of the two. It would make sense for them to keep an eye on their competitors and charge at least the same price as them. The .99p rather than being a sneaky way to undercut Fopp would just be their pricing scheme. I think, anyway.

[Milners]

I'm not a big fan of fopp, did go there all the time when if was beside M&S but i feel stince fopp has moved its changed to be like the HMV and Virgin is. Yes you still get some cheap fantastic offers now and again but i feel its slighty more expensive than 1-up on certain stuff. I always like to support the local independent store like 1-up rather than companys like fopp who are now have quite a lot of stores now, when fopp was first down in Aberdeen i felt it was fantastic record shop.

Ahhh once their was a day when i payed for CDs but now morpheus gets all my music for free!

 

:thumbs:

 

 

 

 

The only thing that screws more rockstars than pamela anderson is the internet!

[Moorie86]

I forgot how good a place it was. Was in the one in Glasgow few weeks back cheap fuck.

 

Puts one up and Hmv to shame.
