Oh, Monseur le Fopp, you are really spoiling us...

first visit in 18 months and couldn't find anything to buy

they had the kurosawa samurai box for 50 quid and were selling the individual films for 8 each. which is like the opposite of a bargain.

and very few cheap cds any more. (although i didn't go upstairs or down)

The prices in Fopp are generally good but why is there occasionally things costing way more than they would be in other shops? There's a bunch of Cherry Red/Esoteric reissues that are £12 more than the standard price.
