Nice little charity shop/market haul in Bridport this morning... Camel - Snow Goose (+extras), Fleetwood Mac - 50 Year's Don't stop 3 CD comp (sealed), Penguin Cafe Orchestra Concert Programme 2 CD (£3 in total); Yes Speak 35 2 DVD comp (£1.50); Patrick Humphries Richard Thompson Strange Affair (£4)...oh, and a rather more expensive (but still well under half it's actual value) New Naturalist. Plus more coffee and GF cake than any man can truly want. I do like Bridport.
Sounds great - now I need to think of a good excuse to go to Bridport! |

I'm 59 this year and bought my first ever Beatles album today.
I was in a charity shop when a bloke brought his entire Beatles / Lennon / Harrison etc CD collection in ... I'll have them £1 a piece £22.
He then goes out and brings in Hendrix / Zeppelin and Pink Floyd collections ... all in £54 result!

From a stall on the local flea Market
25 years of Rough trade shops 4 cd set
Iggy Pop Anthology 2 cds
Harvey Andrews Snaps
World Of Mann (1 cd of Manfred Mann and another of Earth Band)
Mike Oldfield The Collection 2 cds
£1 each or 6 for a fiver . Nothing else I wanted so for the free one I had an 8 cd set by one who shall remain nameless - to be passed on at the earliest opportunity.
19 discs (or 11 and a set of coasters) for a fiver. Not bad. The 2 big sets looked unopened.

Struggling to think of an 8 disk set. Phil Collins perhaps, or Andre Rieu?

A rare case of being in the right place at the right time. I happened to be browsing Ebay when a a brand new sealed copy of the Deluxe edition of Bob Dylan's More Blood More Tracks appeared for under £50 from a UK based seller. This was massively over priced on release but patience has been rewarded.
By contrast I have also picked up a copy of Triplicate for under a fiver, which may still be considerably more than it is worth, We shall see. It fills a gap in my collection.

I ordered one too. Came into enough money the other day to justify it, but I still felt guilty. Jules |

Thanks for the heads-up David.
Another great tip.
I have some other Lps on the Earth label.
They are always beautifully presented.

Talking Elephant are doing an offer on a bunch of Ashley Hutchings and related bands (Albions, Rainbow Chasers, etc) albums, so if anyone wants to get hold of some of his back catalogue, there's some decent albums in there for only a fiver. I picked up the Dylancentric album, My Land Is Your Land and his Beginnings of FC show.

And if anyone can actually work out how to order the bloody things from the steam driven website, do let me know...  |

Steam driven?! It's not as fast as that, Dave.
I've given up on it - virtually unusable search, it's so lethargic. Sorry, TE, but you really need to get your website sorted...
