A successful charity shop vinyl foray;

 

Bette Noir by Bryan Ferry

Reality Effect by The Tourists 

The Cure singles Nov82 to Nov83

 

all in great playing condition but slightly scruffy sleeves for the princely outlay of £3

 

Anyone else had any great finds recently?

100's! Buy CD's in charity shops regularly.

JJ Cale, John Lee Hooker, Jeanne Michelle Jarre, The Beatles, etc, etc. 

Great source of material at bargain prices

Not a charity shop purchase, but I bought King Crimson: In the Wake of Poseidon this week. There was no price tag so the guy in the shop said £10. He put it aside for me and when I returned the next day he told me it should have been £25, but he would stick to our deal.

Oh, and I got a very tidy Venus and Mars for £1 at a record fair last month.

Last time I was in a charity shop I picked up a collection of 6 mint Decca -pressed Lyritas and a few rare CD-Vs, including the much sought-after Kate Bush The Whole Story, all for a £ a pop.

Last week my other half was astonished to find an Andy McKee CD and two Michael Hedges CDs in a charity shop, for £1.99 each, all mint.

Yes, we have a few of the charity shops in Leigh-on-Sea that seem to have got wise to Vinyl collectors. But you can still get the odd bargain if you're prepared to hunt through the reams of Rick Astley and K-Tel compilations.

Saw this CD for £1 in a charity shop.

 

 

I had to get it and I am very happy that I did.
