As to your observation of us having a very limited selection, this is partly deliberate, partly (as just pointed out) territorial, and partly (as my original posting stated) a symptom of major label DRM:
a) we consider a limited selection is not negative, it is positive - we do not sell label content for the sake of volume stats - our customers shop with us appreciating 'less is more', in that a multiplicity of choice is overwhelming and our recommendation authority helps edit toward a focus on the most interesting titles - we have a widely acknowledged status of being one of the world's greatest record stores as a result - google us to see;
b) being a UK-based retailer, we don't have US rights on some label content;
c) DRM prevents us from retailing the major label product offer as found in our London stores and mail-order website.
I hope that helps explain.
