Head Records

Head Records is an entertainment retailer in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Established in 2017 by Les Whitfield of Indulge Retail Ltd (previously of Zavvi Head Entertainment). As of 2017, the company is now registered in Ireland to Vivid Fusion Ltd - a new company established by Les and Jayne Whitfield.

The retailer currently has 1 store in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as well as the original store in Leamington Spa. In May 2017, it was revealed that the retailer was intending to open a shop in St. John's Shopping Centre, Liverpool in August 2017 but has yet to do so.

In 2007, prior to the formation of Head Entertainment, Head Records opened its first store in a retail space vacated following the closure of the Fopp store in Leamington Spa.

Head Records subsequently opened three further stores. The Bristol Broadmead Zavvi, which had been taken up by Head Entertainment in 2009, closed on 27 March 2010, but was reopened a week later by Head Records under the name "Head CD DVD Books". The store contains some new stock alongside ex Zavvi stock; the product range includes clothing, and a selection of books alongside CDs and DVDs.

The former Zavvi store in Bromley was taken up by Head Records (as "Head CD & DVD"), some months after Head Entertainment had taken on its tranche of ex-Zavvi store sites. The Bromley store subsequently moved from the Zavvi site into another store location (a former Internacionale and previously Gamley's store), with the former Zavvi site being taken up by New Look. As with the Bristol store, the Bromley Head site carries a selection of new-release and catalogue products.

In December 2010, a new Head Records store opened in Belfast's Victoria Square, becoming the fourth store in the chain.
