HMV is to mark the re-opening of its flagship store by giving away limited edition vinyl by the Beatles, New Order and Robbie Williams.

The retailer returned to its original home at 363 Oxford Street in London last month and will be offering the limited editions for the first four days of this week to celebrate the move.

Free records will be available from the store on a first come, first served basis beginning this morning with 300 copies of The Beatles - Live On Air Volume 2 seven inch.
