HMV fan Simon champions physical formats over downloads

The Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) has predicted more HMV stores will close during its administration period.

It also claims more than half of consumers still want to buy a physical product rather than downloading it.

24-year-old Simon Wilson has been showing off his vast collection of CDs and DVDs at his home in Fareham, Hampshire.
