In case you can't quite make it out, that's forty (40) boxes of the unsold Spice Girls comeback single 'Headlines', going for 30p a pop in the Leeds branch of Head (formely Zavvi). We're sure this says something deeply sig­ni­fic­ant about something or other but we're not sure quite what — it's probably something about high­street retail, or the death of the CD single, or the non-event of the Spice Girls comeback. We'll leave you to fill in the blanks.
