but did they ever

who is and who isn't


yes, indeed, i agree, look you see. it is terrible to leave unanswered questions, or if you like questions that are not answered. many cases of this exist, to be sure, like for instance (or in particular) where was the magnificent show FlashForward going to go next.

it would be amiss (wrong) of me to leave a question unanswered. so yes, in terms of this post, relating as it did an unforgettable moment of change in my life, HMV did indeed get around to stocking the new, or most recent, or if you like 2019, superb album off of Ian Brown, Ripples.



that is indeed the back, or if you will reverse, of the CD. it would seem they just shoved it in the Ian Brown section (as is right) on the bottom shelf, and seemingly immediately placed it in the "2 for £15" category.

no, i did not  purchase another copy, what with the tape and disc i ordered off of the official store arriving in the post covering the majority of my requirements for this album. but, i would say you know but many would guess, indeed i was tempted to.

why was i in HMV? William. he wanted something called the soundtrack to something called Spiderman Into The Spiderverse, which i believe is some sort of cartoon or animated film. this was obtained, with me paying £1 extra for a "special edition" which would appear to be special due to hologram "spidey eyes" on the cover.

has this righted a wrong? i am not sure. on the one side it was the inability to just walk into a shop - HMV or otherwise - and be able to buy the album that saw Ripples debut in the chart at 4 and fall out of the charts the very next week. the other side says that, in this era of manipulation via streaming, this was a sensational chart result based on online orders alone for an artist who has a "traditional" fanbase that actually likes going to record shops.
