I too paid a pound for that at a record fair a while back. Wonder if they sold any at the proper price.
Not a bad listen.

I got the "Leonard Cohen Collection" box-set for a tenner in HMV on Saturday. It contains Songs Of LC, Various Positions, I'm Your Man, The Future and Ten New Songs, all in replica vinyl sleeves. Very pleased with it as I only had a double-best-of before this.

I presume it wasn't Oxfam then? I had a look at the three LPs in the window of our local branch at the weekend. I can't remember what they were except for one being a Bobby Bland collection but I can remember the three prices: £9.99, £16.99 & £24.99.

...cause I'm listening to FoW an awful lot. Power pop heaven!

Re your original point: I'm a fool for charity shops, and have recently 'scored' two Josh Rouse albums, Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels..., an Average White Band best-of, a comprehensive Blaxploitation 2CD compilation, the OST of New York Cosmos doc Once in a Lifetime, all for £1-£2 each.
And these 5CD boxes are great, aren't they? Got the Little Feat one, as trumpeted by Mr Hepworth. Also the Pretenders one, which proves how much Chrissie and co. went off the boil after their first three LPs. Still cracking value at £12 each.

My oft-mentioned favourite record shop recently purchased a substantial CD collection, largely recent stuff, often pressings from Holland. It looked as if the sale followed a massive mp3-burning session and many of the discs suffered from scratches. Those discs ended up in Taz's dollar bin, which I rarely ignore.

At a dollar-a-pop, it's worth a try on the old workhorse CD player at home: Peter Gabriel's self-titled third and So, Genesis's Trespass, Kate Bush's The Kick Inside, the 2-disc Nick Cave Best Of, most of the Dead Can Dance catalogue, lots of releases on Real World (including Geoffrey Oryema discs with the booklets swapped), and for some reason a thrill-inducing copy of Frampton Comes Alive!, which I've secretly wanted to own since I heard it on eight-track. All told, twelve bucks for a reacquantaince with Gabriel, Bush, and the like.

The following week I dropped in to find vitually all of the remaining discs from the collection had been gleefully snapped up by record rats like me. Delightful!

has a few vinyl bargains. MGMT - Congratulations, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Is it the Sea? The Verve - Urban Hymns - all £3 and brand new. At least two are double albums. I bought the first as I already have the other 2 and it's much better than the reviews at the time it came out would have you believe. It has a 'scratch off cover' - not sure what that means

Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon - 50p
Human League, Dare - 20p
Rolling Stones, Exile on Main Street, quite tatty but playable - £2

Boom!

Could do worse than getting today's 'Daily Mail' (in a brown paper bag of course), cutting out the coupon and securing one of Elvis's two truly great movies on DVD, 'King Creole', for half a dollar!

11p (plus 1.24 P&P) from Amazon Seller

Arrived today - BRILLIANT, best 11p I've ever spent (so much better than a Wham Bar)

£7 the other day. Lovely.

when I recently bought a bunch of CD's online.
A 10 CD box of fantastic blues for only around 8,60 £ ( 99 SEK )! I almost fainted. It's called "Diggin' Deeper - 200 legendary blues treasures" and that's an accurate description.
Also on the same occasion I bought a 5 CD box of funk for 4,30 £ !
I also got a 6 CD collection of metal for 8,60 £ as well, a bit too much black/death metal for my taste ( well, I kind of like it but I actually get physically ill when I listen to it, the adrenaline raises my blood pressure and I start to tremble - not so nice ) but I ripped the best tracks to my computer and gave the CD's to a colleague of mine who likes death metal.

At the schools jumble sale, the caretaker handed me a big box and said - "fill it up for $2!". As the kids excitedly loaded the box with even more toys to neglect and leave on the floor, I looked at the CDs and loaded up with the classical selection. I thought I might as well because I will never buy classical CDs with real money, so why not?

One of these CDs was a Keith Jarret one - a live concert in Germany somewhere. I could wiki it, but I would rather hear from the Massive as to whether this was a bargain or not. I only mention this because after getting hold of the item I have seen his name pop up on threads.

The stereo and mono versions of the HJH boxsets are down to just £100 at HMV, if you can find one!! They're having store-by-store clearances and these are popping up sporadically at that price. Ealing store had one of each last time I looked.
