Shopping at HMV was interesting because I did not think that HMV was still trading so it was wonderful to see it in Reading. This was place was just so impressive. A lovely member of staff offered to assist (early 20s, short dark hair). She was nice and polite.
This place has lots of impressive vinyl. It was amazing to see the diversity of what HMV had. Somehow, I cannot picture listening to Guns N' Roses on vinyl, but for some reason I can picture listening to Bob Marley on vinyl.
Please feel free to check out the photographs I took of the album covers,
This is just a great place to browse and this place has everything - Clssical music, World Cinema DVDs, great box sets etc.

It's an interesting shop. It's changed since the heyday of cd's and dvd's but they're all still there but alongside more t-shirts and collectables and wierd overseas drinks. They have intriguing boxes that contain, for instance, £25 of mystery content for £10 - but I didn't buy one!

So glad to see this Reading branch of HMV survived when sadly, so many others had to go.
I wanted to find out if they do in store vouchers. Yes they do, so that is good news
The major thing I noticed when I first walked in was the huge Vinyl Records corner. Vinyl really seems to have taken off again and it was like being back in the 80s and 90s for me walking in to record shops.
Let's keep this British staple alive and keep physical media going and growing. Not only does it help the few shops that still exist but the artists and film makers who create the content we buy will benefit much more from sales than they do steaming.
You never know, it might even bring ticket prices to live shows and the cinema down if more physical media is sold.

Friendly staff, good selection of stuff to browse. A bit biased because I used to work at hmv up North but it's still good to see these places going. Great selection as all ways for media and tech and nice workers who are actually passionate about the stuff they sell.
G. S.
Great record shop with a big selection. I didn't have enough eyes. Nice to find bands like Rancid and Feeder in a shop.
I. P.
1000's of CDs and DVDs, all music genres catered for, 100's of video games, its the go to shop for entertainment. 10/10.
M. H.
A very well organised display and superbly managed store with great variety and bargains all round.
It’s conveniently located on the ground floor of the famous Oracle Centre and offers great service from the helpful and knowledgeable staffs.
C. E.
Found what I was looking for, don't usually use this shop but as supermarkets have stopped selling DVD's & CD's this is now the only option
S. C.
Unlike some other HMV this store had an extensive and wide ranging K-pop selection, with a mix of K-pop groups from different generations. It also had a wide range of funko pops with lots from niche or cult classic movies.
L. H.
So glad they've expanded their Kpop and Asian snacks sections! I always visit when I get the chance to visit Reading, staff are always really friendly and helpful too :)
C. D.
Got excited when I saw this HMV was still open.. I absolutely love this HMV store.. I don't collect book but I do like to hold a CD in my hand...!!
Very helpful and friendly staff....!!!
d. w.
As always a great shop to visit for all music and dvd. Staff know their stuff and are always helpful
M. 1.
This place is huge and deserted the only people in there was the staff, why? Prices. Hmv has always tacked on an extra fiver on items.
Time to get in line with other prices. Your pricing yourself into extinction.
B. L.
Being that all things are digital these days it is nice to still see vinyl being sold.
N. B.
Love going in there to explore and browse different types of music and the movies in DVD's. They even have K-pop music in the store with a lot of cute stuff to look at.
L. K.
Great place for anime dvds, anime blue rays and merch. Great all round place for an anime connoisseur
C. L.
There are many types of records, DVDs, blu-ray and some nostalgic records, a good place
B. L.
It was okay to find the album I wanted. Could of gotten it cheaper on line. It was handy to get it there and then.
S. W.
Got a few CDs that I was after. The staff are always very helpful and friendly.
S. B.
HMV is a great shop with a huge range of music, film, related clothing etc.
Well worth a visit 👍
J. R.
Large HMV selling loads of vinal and lots of other stuff, merchandising, etc.. Staff are knowledgeable.
D. F.
The usual HMV, except it's more Funko-Pops than music these days.
K. O.
Difficult to find what you are looking for in the cd section....unorganised.
R. K.
Very nice staff. They have a lot of things to choose
L.
Great service from staff and extensive selection. Like a time machine back to the early 2000's
v. w. r.
Love the extra bits they know sell on top of dvd,cd,vinyl etc
R. D.
Big shop with wide selection of music and movies as well as other memorabilia. Not the cheapest but a wide and deep variety of stock.
J. C.
Nice sized store with a wide range of stock to suit your needs. Good prices too.
r. w.
Super sweet cool rad jibberlerskis remind me of the good old days when I used to go and play a CD 47 times to my sister came in and smashed my cd
M.
Not been in a HMV for so many years. Staff pleasant and helpful. Classical CD selection was cool and interesting, not just the popular, obvious stuff. Settled on some Philip Glass.
D. T.
Excellent staff helping me to find a DVD. Thank goodness, HMV still open
S. G.
Huge store with huge Audio collections in various formats. Loved the visit.
F. d. l. R.
Big and logically laid out. Pretty interesting finds prices can be a little more expensive than other competitor businesses. Overall very good
N. A.
Great shop for music lovers. CDs, vinyls, accessories and posters
D. T.
Great selection of CD's and vinyls t. Shirts and videos ........but please explain to me.... Why have you started selling sweets and drinks.... Has Mr simms invested $15 dollars in hmv... No doubt you'll find another niche in your shop for selling burgers and ice cream by the time I visit you next time...... ♥
Z. L.
Good to know that hmv is still around
N. F.
Love HMV good range music & dvds & other stuff to browse aswell.
T. F. W.
Good shop couldn’t see what we wanted
N. E.
Absolutely awesome, massive, shop. Packed with lots of the cool stuff you'd expect & some you wouldn't.
Also, friendly, very helpful staff.
Highly recommend a visit.
P. B.
Great for music, superhero stuff and fun t shirts
J. D.
Love this shop glad there still going. not many of the good shops like this left now
A. J.
Don't always have what I want in stock but I still visit very frequently.
B. H.
I believe each section of the store is labelled out in a clear an doc case manner, allowing you to find most things you are looking for off the bat with the help of the signs and directions. However this is not the case for the comic books/graphic novels with them being spread around quite some distance away from eachother, leading to you sometimes having to double back up and down the store to find a certain genre.
C. H.
Always a relaxed atmosphere when visiting the store, music volume at right level and pleasant knowledgeable staff on hand. Clean and tidy, top mark's HMV Guildford.
S. W. (.
Found some good vinyl for the collection today, not stuff I'd have expected in a mainstream store. Well equipped for covid precautions, friendly staff. Terrible background music as usual, but can't knock them for appealing to the masses I guess, or I was unlucky when I went in!
c. h.
Oh how I missed this place whether it's a movie,music or even T-shirts this place has a very impressive catalog and your very likely to find what your looking for highly recommend this place
D. V.
I ordered a couple of sale items on vinyl recently that the store needed to order in. There was a delay in receiving those and Matt (the Manager) took time to check their stock in store. He reassured me the order was still active and promised to call me when the stock had arrived, which he duly did. That felt like personal customer service and not something I'd normally expect from any high street store, apart from maybe John Lewis. Thank you Matt for your help, it was a fairly easy thing to do but made a difference to me and was appreciated. This was an example of a high street store giving local, more personal service. Thank you, I'll recommend you to my friends!
J. E.
Went in looking for vinyl records and was happy that they had such a good choice. They were well organised by genre and then name which made it easy to find what I was looking for. They had a good selection of reggae which is what I was shopping for. Prices were fairly steep and there were no offers on vinyl.
R. A.
Still couldn't believe there's a branch open.
Looked good but digital is the way to go for me. Sorry HMV, you lost that loving feeling!
p. b.
Great place for music films vinyl
M. S.
It was lovely to be surrounded by films, music and accessories. One of the best stores to visit. It was very quiet and found staff very friendly and happy to help
W. P.
Such a large shop with a lot of things. Really loved the South Side Serpents Riverdale T shirt. Great selection of r&b CDs and great selection of throwback Vinyl. Customer service is great here with kind, helpful and welcoming staff. Come here as a regular customer and great deals
M. A.
Still clinging on in the Oracle following several false dawns of closure. A nostalgic cave of CDs, DVDs, band t-shirts, portable cassette radios and many other things that were popular in the early 2000s.
S. G. P. S.
Very quiet at the moment but my grandchildren enjoyed choosing some 'weird" t-shirts from HOW'S vast collection!
T. B.
Popped in looking for an album, which they had, on one of the stands near the entrance. Wondered if they might have the other two albums by the same band. They did, and at two for a tenner 😁 Also found a film I've been looking for for ages. Very happy with my visit to the Reading branch today. The staff were very busy on the shop floor, but also very aware of customers and quick to serve at the tills, very polite and friendly
B. S.
Nice place to buy genuine merchandise & staff are very helpful. Big store love to hang around 2,3 times a week. You find out too many collection & keep filing your room.
K. T.
Lots of really good stuff, anything to do with music or films including great gift ideas, staff friendly, hilarious and helpful 😀 would definitely recommend a visit
S. P.
I miss the days of going in and buying a cd, but even though I went in with no intention of buying a cd I was so happy to see a range of items that I was willing to throw a bunch of cash at..and I did! I will be back soon!
Z. Q.
I love this shop, it's much bigger than i expected it to be and has a variety of marvel, anime and kpop merchandise. Highly recommend to go with your friends
S. W.
Large store, good selection. Very helpful staff have been more than happy to help me look for records I struggle to find. 10/10
S. M.
Great to see HMV are still open in Reading!! Good to see a wide selection of music, dvds, films, books, vinyls and just loved all the memorabilia. Definitely worth a visit as better than looking on the website.👏👏👍
a. c.
Extensive range of vinyl, cds, and fan stuff
a.
Sad to see the end of the old media. But it's still great..
S. S.
Great shop with super friendly and helpful staff! Very well organised and lately I have found quite a few bargains in there cheaper than the famous online A shop! I want to keep the shop going as much as possible as I love music and it's rhe last shop around to buy vinyls as they have the biggest collection I've seen in years!
B. S.
HMV has become a great store offering much more than dvds, their comics, books, artwork, audio tech makes it a great store. Be cool if they evolved into a tech store that kept to the current cultural trends they represent in the future, catering for gamers and their setups, geeky stuff, music tech more as well.
C.
One of the biggest with a good variety of items to choose from. From Vinyl, 4k Blu Ray to film merchandise.
T. (.
It's hard enough to find an HMV these days and this one is easy to miss, as it's tucked away on the ground floor of the Oracle, behind the escalators.
A decent sized shop, with a good variety of different products for sale.
The staff are also friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended.
J. C.
A bright airy shop. Very clean. Plenty of choice. Well laid out. The best hmv I've visited
E. _.
For the past few years its been in and out of administration but still stands strong. Hmv is a prime space for getting hold of vinyls, cos, dvds and merch for any mood or any weather. Works well for gifts too!
S. F.
Really good everything you need in music and more helpful staff
E. H.
Excellent range of products and friendly helpful staff. Layout of the shop can be a bit confusing but not a big problem.
S. G.
Nice big store with huge selections.
L. J.
We live Basingstoke but visited the Reading store as we had time to kill before our restaurant booking and surprisingly they still have a huge range of 3D movies (we have a 3D TV and still enjoy the experience). I've always enjoyed going there and have nothing bad to say about the store. Unfortunately heard on the news that they might close the Reading branch, but I hope not.
D. S.
Big store on the ground floor of The Oracle. Very large selection of DVD, Blue Ray, Vinyl and CDs. Friendly and helpful staff. Good knowledge between the staff members. Large store with a good layout. Check out prices online first to check if can get a better deal elsewhere but they do run good promotional prices.
S. S.
Hmv was OK, I didn't find everything I wanted, but then even i wasn't sure of what I wanted to buy. What surprised me is that a very small shopping bag costed 20p, it hardly fitted what I bought in it. A bigger plastic bag would be 40p... I know and I am all for saving the planet and avoiding g plastic bags, but that was a bit too much...
N. D. B.
Great selection of music, film, cartoon and manga.
A. D.
Decent amount of vinyl at affordable prices.
m. p.
Always a pleasure to go to HMV in Reading.
Good staff and , for me, a great selection of blurays, cd's and books. Love the place.
Highly recommend a visit there.
D.
Good for music and headphones/earphones, used to go for the Manga as there is a manga section, however now they removed most of the books and all there really is under the Manga section is Billie Eilish
R. S. (. B. W. T.
I'm so happy this got reopened, it's my closest store.
For me there's somthing about looking around the dvds and cds and seeing the physical copies. I'm not one for having everything digatly. I like hard cold copies, I like collecting TV shows most and Marvel. And it's nice to see the collection grow and not just on a screen :) and guess what I'll never run out of hard drive space. A
C. F.
Very good. Had many dvds and multi-genre films with recently released movies and games. It does take a little time to find what you’re looking for but it is a great place to browse.
A. W.
It is impressive how HMV have managed to reinvent themselves and thus is a great place to buy vinyl records but also other music merch
C. H. T.
good , very large place
N. P.
Haven't been for a while as not often in Reading. Store has a good range of products and helpful staff. Ideal for those who like to see the product before buying. Pricing seemed generally competitive too.
H. T.
Best HMV left in operation. This store has a huge range compared to other hmv stores still in operation. The staff seem very knowledgeable and helpful too which is a big plus to me. The vinyl section is huge so if you still like proper records, hmv Reading is a great place to come for them. Located in a nice part of the oracle centre too, not hidden away as such but not slap bang at the entrance of the centre which is sort of good. 5 stars for Reading HMV - have to add I will always have a bit of nostalgia for the former store on Friar street!
Y. H. (.
Interesting merchandise on sale but no video games
J. W.
Great selection of BluRays and really friendly staff. In an age where Music and Movies are moving to a digital service rather than physical, it's great that HMV still exists and I will continue to support them for as long as they do because of the great service here.
M. M.
It all depends on what you are looking for but this shop had a lot of different records,books and dads.
M. S.
Goods place for music lovers and best part is u can get action figures as well here. 😍
A. A. C.
Masses of choices. Fun going through all the vinyl records and nearly bought one of their turntables.
T. G.
For its size this hmv has a really good selection of movies and music, on both CD and vinyl. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Always a great experience when visiting Reading.
b. m.
Always a wonderful store to browse, great to see so much vinyl and so many bargain priced CDs. Steely Dan at £2.99 !!!
S. R.
This is not just a music shop as other reviews seem to suggest! It is full to the brim with geek culture goods such as Funko pops, posters, anime, star wars books, t shirts etc... a great range of different price goods, and the store is huge! Staff friendly and lots of tills available when it is busy! Often have deals.
S. B.
HMV is a great store. The staff are the best if any shop I have been in, they are always very polite and extremely helpful. The store has a huge range of CD's and DVD's and there stuff too. I fully recommend a trip to HMV, Reading.
A. W.
I spent hours in here, huge selection of dvds, CDs, vinyl and much more, we need more like this.
g.
Collecting vinyl is a sure-fire way of going bankrupt. Just a heads up for you beginner vinyl collectors!
J. B.
I didn't buy anything this time. I asked one of the staff if they did games. The guy was very helpful and even directed me to the game store. The store itself has a variety of music, music videos,films, posters and t-shirts of music or bands.
S. “. B.
Music is always way too loud though !!
W. S.
This is a good branch. Lot of merch as well as vinyl and CD selections. Probably what will help them survive.
C. T. L.
A lot of good stuff. For me it is a little bit expensive but many people prefer to buy from there.
D. N.
Family member almost died of a heart attack when she saw all the K-Pop items there. She spent a fortune that day. Nothing else like it on the high street.
M. K.
Fantastic collection and loved the feel of walking around in the store looking at the collection and buying something as well.
M. P.
It's good to have HMV open again. It was a trip to the Vinyl section today and I was spoiled for choice. There was a lot of 180gm vinyl in the rack. The HMV card, the loyalty card, seems to have been withdrawn, which is a shame for those of us who have used it a lot. I can't say it's withdrawal comes as a big surprise
J. R.
Staff are always friendly, they have every film and cd you can imagine, and nice chill music while you wandering. I could probably spend hours in there, only criticism is they need to figure out a better organisation of their CDs coz its pretty hard just to find that 1 artist you want.
L. H.
I really like HMV. Always well organized shop floor space, very well labeled and we'll priced. It'll be a very sad day when they go into receivership. I hope someone buys them. The reality is tech has radically changed. GenZ will no longer watch DVDs or play CDs. These formats are now relegated to history.
A. C.
Decent HMV. Loads of vinyl
D. K.
Went in yesterday with my girlfriend (following a quick but fruitless survey of the various phone spares kiosks in The Oracle), to choose a pair of 'emergency' earbuds to find not only a great range - from extreme budget to quite high end - but lots of enthusiastic and friendly advice from an assistant, whose product knowledge rivalled that you might be more used to getting at a branch of John Lewis!
Well done HMV.. as one of very few high street specialist retailers in this field, you deserve our full support in maintaining such a widespread, good quality physical presence in our towns and cities, in face of inexorable pressure from all and sundry to do our everyday shopping online.
J.
Great shop, the staff were great. Seems a bit tucked away compared to many other shops in the oracle but overall great quality products, well worth the visit.
D. R.
I Love to see The CD I want &maybe look at other's to compare contents &select what's most suited to me
I have a wide selection of music on CD I might be old fashioned but I like the idea of holding something physical
T. R.
Great to still see an HMV about, as much as I love online shopping, sometimes it's nice to go in and be surrounded by it all. Nice big shop, all the new movies on all the new formats. Great visit.
s.
This place is super nutty cause you don't expect to walk over to the vinyl section to find hecking Sleep's Holy Mountain being sold there. And then you go through some more vinyls and start finding albums from Behemoth, other stoner metal bands and even doom. Blew my mind seriously
T. G.
Decent size store with a great selection of everything.
Good offers on headphones and Korean snacks
M. S.
Great store! Love going here for music merch and my CDs. Very glad that it is not closing now after rent negotiations have been completed.
V. B.
I like popping into HMV and having a browse but that's mostly all I do. The problem with HMV is their price point - it's just too expensive. For example, Captain America: Civil War on DVD is selling for £14.99. Why pay that much when you can buy it brand new for over half the price on ebay? It's no wonder HMV is struggling. On a positive, you can find some bargains and their offers can be pretty decent. I also like the posters of past Reading Festival lineups; however, it needs to sort its prices out.
D. M.
Great staff and the place was buzzing
R. B.
Good selection of music and paraphernalia, staff well trained and helpful.
I. L.
Big, clean and easy to access
B. w.
Nice to be able to look and see what CD's to buy as I can never think what I like to listen to from years past and a shop like this have such a large choice I can always find something I would like. I for one would miss hmv.
L. G.
Good choice of products, something for everyone. HMV are keeping up to date with current market trends. It's a nice store to shop in and prices were as good as online at the time.
Z. Z.
HMV will always be a fav of mine 😁❤️love buying a physical copy of a CD or DVD and there's no better place to buy it than HMV. lovely staff, great atmosphere, superb stock. Just love HMV 💕
P. K.
Very good service, thank you
S. J.
Not very many of these stores left that i have seen in my area ( London/ Southeast area)unfortunately cause in my personal opinion there is nothing like walking round a HMV store rather than online.
A. A.
Staff were very helpful considering the tedious transaction they had to go through for refunds and exchanges. Love this shop as it's one of a kind and especially because the staff are so friendly I would be sad to see the place go permanently.
G. m.
popped into town to grab some new movies, as the wife had been bugging me. We like to pop in and a look around, well organised, staff are always around to help
R. W.
Thankfully no loud rap music being played. Well laid out displays and special offers at reasonable prices. Pity the Oxford store closed down
N. N.
I didnt know they sold so much, i thought it was just music and the odd movie, but its like a giant band store, its pretty cool
D. G.
Great selection on LPs and Funko Pops!
N.
It's a great place to visit, if you love music, films or TV, you'll always find something in there for yourself or others. When I visit I always come out with something. So sorry to see it closing, such a shame.
A. M.
Practically the only place left to buy physical music or blu rays. Has some decent merch, however is slowly becoming a commercial music haven.
H. A.
Well laid out store, reasonably stocked and pleasant staff.

c. c.
Shop there for good old LPs and they have a great selection, takes me back years flicking through them and they sound better than CDs
S. B.
Easy to book with the app. Attentive staff, and care taken to seat people at safe distances.
M. D.
HMV has always been one of the best High Street stores. Staff are always helpful and being able to pay for the product and take it with you then and there is sheer magic
B. C.
Good music and film and other related items store in central Reading. Very helpful stuff although they didn't store all items that are offered online.
J. M.
Friendly and helpful staff and great record selection. I’m always asked if I got everything I came in for, one time when I said I hadn’t, the check out clerk went and found the last thing I wanted.
A.
Alot of good, favourite anime movie DVD.
B. F.
It's nice that it still exists! Spent a long time browsing but left empty handed which I think is the problem. I want it to stay so I can see the disks, but will I buy when it's cheaper online?
Y. R.
Very friendly staff. Helped me find exactly what I wanted straight away.
J. H.
Purchased the CD which I had been waiting to buy once lockdown was over. The female assistant went out of her way to help me find it.
G. T.
Great selection and value. HMV must stay on our high streets.
P. W.

A. R.
Great staff and great to be able browse through the stock!
A. W. M.
Advice, impartial help, click and collect in store or have it sent home - specialist merchandise - a better experience than Amazon and they pay their taxes and staff at the going rate.
R. P.
Really good shop if you need cds,dvds,posters etc. Staff really friendly and really good service!
S. A.
New layout is good but takes a bit of getting used to. Staff very helpful, good deals.
