<\/p>\nMUSIC giant HMV has confirmed when it will be returning to its famous old London headquarters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The music retailer went into administration four years ago but now the chain is back and will return to 363 Oxford Street on November 24 creating 70 new jobs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The move is thought to be due to the growing demand for vinyl, CDs and cassettes amongst younger listeners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
