Virgin is a large chain of music stores in England with one in practically every large town. Its selection of dance music is pretty good over here but it only really stocks the 'major' dance labels and nothing very obscure. The real problem is that you are unable to listen to anything\ before you buy it, and their selection of vinyl is very limited. To be honest I try to buy my stuff from small independent stores rather than giving my hard earned cash to corporate multinational giants. The owner of Virgin is currently being taken to court by a former employee who claims she was sexually harrassed by him at a party: think of the newspaper headlines: "Virgin In Sex Scandal"! John's Tack :-Q

Interesting! I met Richard Branson (the head of the Virgin conglomerate) at a big Entrepreneurial dinner in June last year. (He was the guest of honour) He was a pretty spot on guy for being the 11th richest person on the planet. He came out with us (ie "the students") for multiple beers after the dinner and apparantly he didn't make it to his flight on time the next morning. :) He even flew one of his employees - a stewardess on Virgin Airlines - in with him so she could meet her aunt whom she's never seen before. Anyways, the4 guy's damn handsome, charming, etc. and all the women drooled over him for the entire evening. Could it be that Mr. Branson is too used to getting his own way? Hmmm.... Or perhaps a lover scorned? Dave.
