Music and Video Club or MVC was a British entertainment retailer which sold DVDs, VHS, audio cassettes, video games, and CDs of popular and specialist titles. At its peak the company operated 82 stores in the United Kingdom and also sold products over the Internet. The company closed in January 2006 after entering into administration. ==History== Originally MVC was started by former staff members of Our Price who left after W H Smith bought the company. The company went on to be bought by Kingfisher plc in 1993,〔http://www.fpm.com/journal/members/kingfish.htm〕〔(Kingfisher Plc Business Information, Profile, and History ), JRank (retrieved 9 October 2010)〕 which later spun it off as part of the Woolworths chain in July 2005. In August 2005, it was sold to venture capital company Argyle Partners for £5.5 million.〔 In December 2005, MVC entered administration with Kroll.〔 In January 2006, 41 of MVC's stores were bought by one of its competitors, Music Zone. On 25 January 2007, Music Zone, which purchased 41 of the stores from MVC, also went into administration. 67 former Music Zone stores were taken over by music and book retailer Fopp, including some of the former MVC stores.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Music Zone sells stores to Fopp )〕 However, Fopp itself then went into administration in June 2007.〔(Ernst & Young Press Statement )〕 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「Music and Video Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
