Traditional? Eh? Hasn't Zavvi only existed for about 2 years?

Just over a year actually. What a waste of all that re-branding effort.

I've worked in the record industry for the last five years and saw first hand just how shit EUK were (Woolies & Zavvis distribution arm). They were the biggest wholesale buyer of music and video in the UK and and gradually muscled out most other smaller distributors and retailers with their buying power leaving only Amazon, Play.com and HMV in the frame by the time I left. Another nail in the coffin for the major music industry I reckon.

Also, the Woolies sale is shit. Sale CDs for £11.97!!? I don't think so
