Head Records is an entertainment retailer in the United Kingdom. The company is owned by Indulge Retail Ltd, which was previously run by one of the partners of Zavvi and subsequently Head Entertainment. Head Records was established in 2007, and as of 2015 has 6 stores. ==History== In 2007, prior to the formation of Head Entertainment, Head Records had opened following the closure of the Fopp store in Leamington Spa. Head Records subsequently opened three further stores.〔(Report on Record Store Day at four Head Records stores, music-news.com )〕〔(Les Whitfied at LinkedIn )〕 The Bristol ex-Zavvi store taken up by Head Entertainment closed on 27 March 2010, but was reopened a week later by Head Records under the name "Head CD DVD Books". The store contains some new stock alongside ex-Zavvi stock; the product range includes clothing and a selection of books alongside CDs and DVDs. The former Zavvi store in Bromley was taken up by Head Records (as "Head CD & DVD"), some months after Head Entertainment had taken on its tranche of ex-Zavvi store sites. The Bromley store subsequently moved from the Zavvi site into another store location (a former Internacionale and previously Gamley's store), with the former Zavvi site being taken up by New Look. As with the Bristol store, the Bromley Head site carries a selection of new-release and catalogue products. In December 2010, a new Head Records store opened in Belfast's Victoria Square, becoming the fourth store in the chain. It was reported in the 10 May 2011 ''Weston Mercury'' that Head was to open a new store in Weston-super-Mare's Sovereign Shopping Centre; this occupied a unit which had been used by HMV as a temporary store over Christmas 2010.〔(Weston Mercury )〕 Head opened on 14 May 2011. Nick Cooke, centre manager of the Sovereign Shopping Centre, said, "We are delighted that Head have chosen to open in Weston, which for too long has missed a dedicated music retailer." On Sunday 15 January 2012 Head Records store closed in Belfast's Victoria Square. The Belfast store re-opened for business on Saturday 14 July 2012 at a new location on Ann Street. It has since relocated again to CastleCourt shopping centre. In October 2014, Blackburn became the 6th Head Records store when the company opened a new store in the former HMV unit in the town. 〔http://www.blackburnbid.co.uk/4098_new-store-opening-will-hit-right-notes/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Head Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
