Guess who's interested in buying HMV out of bankruptcy?

[BeBop]

Asda, a British retailer owned by Wal-Mart Group (NYSE: WMT), is considering a bid for bankrupt HMV, according to The Telegraph. Restructuring firm Hilco also is expected to bid, having already purchased HMV’s debt. Deloitte is managing the process. www.hmv.com

Wal-Mart is interested in HMV?

Hooray, Manchester Fopp (and other HMV stores) rescued - and not by Wal-Mart!

Hope it works out - especially the promise to return to the music/DVD focus.

I hardly frequent music stores at all these days but when I am in a town for one reason or another it would be nice to browse a music section with some depth of catalogue.

First time to Manchester Fopp today since they emerged from the HMV debacle. Great to see them alive and kicking! As if to celebrate, they had a large display of classic jazz albums on Atlantic for £3 each.

Nice to hear ! I'll be sure to make a visit to one of their stores when I'm in the Big Smoke next week (The Southern one, that is )
