This HMV is alright. I personally don't like it because it is a stand alone and not part of any…read moremall. Usually when I check out an HMV it will be when I am passing by it in a shopping mall and then I will find something I like. This one just seems like an inconvenience. Like most HMV's they have a huge selection but the staff at this one doesn't really help much if you need it. They usually have alright deals because they are trying to keep up with the internet but most of the time you will find a much better deal buying music or movies on the internet.

I'm not a big fan of HMV…read more They can have some OK deals on DVDs at times but, for the most part, I think they are overpriced. I will occasionally go in to look around and see if I can find any good deals but I almost always walk out empty handed. The staff are never really happy to help you out. It feels as though they are there just to listen to music and get paid to do it. I hate to say it but I have never had good customer service at any HMV. I also don' t know how long they will be around for. It seems to me that people don't buy a lot of music in hard copy anymore. IF people aren't downloading, they are buying from iTunes (like me) because it is always cheaper. Then I can burn it onto a CD if I want. If you do want your music in hard copy, HMV does have a lot to choose from. All their music is divided by genre to make things easy (for you and the staff). But if you are on a budget, I would look elsewhere - maybe Walmart or somewhere like that.

A huge (and I mean, huge) selection of used CDs, LPs, DVDs, as well as band posters, t-shirts,…read morepatches, and other souvenirs. I am truly overwhelmed by the selection of music, and not just rock. There are substantial sections for blues, jazz, punk, folk, and more. I walked in to browse and walked out with an armful of CDs. The staff are friendly, and there is a 30-day exchange policy (with receipt) if anything is defective. I have a feeling this may become a regular stop for me.

Searching for classic Disney DVDs is not easy these days. The Disney vault is a real thing…read moreapparently! I booked a trip to Disney this summer so want to educate my daughter on the classic movies before the trip. I didn't realize it would be that hard. Revolver had a used DVD section and LOADS of Disney - Hurrah! I found Aladdin door $20 and went to but right away. I did t have time to look around but I know if I was with my husband we'd have been in there for hours. They have a large vinyl collection, band shirts and music swag. Server was great and cleaned the DVD before I got it. Had some chitchat about this Disney vault being a real thing. Then went in my merry way. Can't wait to watch Aladdin now.

What a great addition to Edmonton's vinyl record shop scene. There is a huge selection of new and…read moreused vinyl, as well as used CDs and audio gear, throughout several rooms. I found some rarities and did not leave empty handed. Despite being called "curmudgeon" the staff were friendly and helpful. Also, did I mention the poster collection? From classic rock to modern acts, the poster selection is pretty epic. Serious music fans need to check this place out.

I was sad to hear HMV was going out of business. I am in that tiny 1% that still buys CDs and DVDs…read more So I was super happy to hear Sunrise would be opening. Plus they have cool knick knacks and old DVDs I have been looking for. Plus records for all you hipsters! The only reason it doesn't get a 5 is the inventory isn't all arrived or so we were told....

I wouldn't make a special trip for the vinyl selection -- it's small and you'll be better served at…read moreone of the local indie shops. The rest of the store is very similar to the old HMV that used to be here, but more poorly organized. In the sections I looks at, DVDs were front-faced, (cover facing forward,) but with different titles tucked in behind because they don't have large quantities of each one. Other sections may not be like that, but honestly, I got tired I having to pick up stacks of DVDs to look for things. They seem to have added more t-shirts and discount movies since I was last there, but it looks like an HMV rehash.

What sets Listen apart from the other indie record shops in the city is that they seem to cater to…read morethe contemporary, modern rock, Sonic 102-listening crowd. They're frequented by the fedora-wearing music geeks with black-framed glasses, usually seen carrying a leather shoulder bag with a a big flap (presumably to carry their records in.) If you can imagine a universe where Joy Division never broke up, the Chemical Brothers became the new Beatles, and Lisa Loeb is still hot, than you will enjoy Listen Records & CDs. The staff at Listen is awesome. Very nice, personable guys with a lot of patience. My wife went there recently with a long list of items that she was seeking out for me. She said that the dude working the check-out was totally cool and didn't mind looking up every item on the list to see if it was available, and if not, where she could find it. He didn't even exhibit any signs of musical snobbery towards my classic rock and metal leanings. She came home full of raves (and records). If you're into metal or older rock music, Listen won't be your ideal stop, but it's great for people who aren't into mainstream stuff. Listen has a demographic in mind and they who know their target audience is.

The staff is extremely helpful and know their music. If you tell them what kind of music you like they are always good at suggesting more music you might like. Also if you really can't find what you're looking for, they will gladly order it for you. I find this store to be better than HMV only music they don't mainly cater to the mainstream.

The staff is super helpful and will provide recommendations based on your purchases and questions. Blackbyrd's prices are much better then other stores in Edmonton for the same items (believe me, I comparison shop all the time). If on Whyte and looking for something new to put on your turntable, drop in to Blackbyrd and take a look around - you're bound to find something great.

Whenever I go to this store, yes there is a variety of music in all genres.. lots of great prices…read more. my only complaint is the man-bun wearing staff member that served me made and me feel like I shouldn't be in the store, by correcting me on my pronunciation of a band name and over educating me on my "lifestyle" music.. Not to mention the time I went there on a Sunday and the guy was hung over and disinterested in actually being there. My daughter and I were discussing how there is a snobby air whenever we walk in.. sorry I don't have a man bun, and pronounce things the way he does, excuse me all to heck. If you don't mind feeling like a foreigner, getting corrected on your pronunciation and getting lectured on your taste.. do go here. Just take it with a grain of salt.. he does have a man-bun, so he's allowed to be patronizing and a lil rude.
