Been wondering about stuff like this for a while:
- How and why do shops like Impulse run sales of batches of seemingly random, leftfieldish stuff at £1 to £2 each: stuff like Four Tet. Where do the cds come from - from Impulse itself or are they leftovers from the larger HMVlikes?
- What do Zavvi/HMV etc do with the possibly interesting low-probability music that they fail to sell (eg. stuff that has been ordered and not picked up). There used to be the occasional dirt-cheap sale of stuff like this, but now even the bargain bins have been disappointingly homogenised across their stores.
In short, what paths does stock take through the high street music retail system?
