The last records I bought in Woolworths

were Love Missile F1-11 by PWEI and Orbital's Belfast in Woking. It's a Wetherspoons now

I bought OK Computer in Woolworths in Matlock

I bought several gems from there, while visiting my Grandparents my Dad would let me get some music every now and then as a bribe. Once I wanted cigarettes and alcohol by Oasis on cassette, it was in the shape of a fag packet. My Dad wouldn't let me as he felt it wasn't appropriate for a 12 year old.

I didn't buy OK Computer in Woolworths (bullshit wanker)

I did buy Fontanelle by Babes in Toyland in Woolworths in Stamford in 1992 and probably some pic n mix.

I illegally downloaded it for free ten years ago

I could only afford to buy one CD in 1997 so I bought Victory Parts by AC Acoustics instead.

Got it free with a bunch of other CDs out a jukebox.

  cat_race @SenorDingDong | 14 Aug '12, 15:47 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - Oh, hundreds.
    
    My dad used to fix them when I was young, and he would get any CDs that were getting thrown away. I'd keep them all - it was the basis of my music listening. He'd bring back dozens every week - no cases for any of them, just the little inlay card that would be in the jukebox with them. Some of them didn't even have that, so it would be exciting listening without knowing what it was - I had no idea I was listening to OK Computer for ages (I was about 13 at the time).
    
    Used to have about 6 copies of Morning Glory and about 15 of Be Here Now, and I'd give them to people at school. I've still got loads of them at home in boxes, there are hundreds.of them

      - Yeah, it was a great way to discover music.
        
        You don't get many cd-based jukeboxes in pubs anymore, so I was probably the last generation that'll do that.

I bought Ok Computer

In a second hand record store in Chichester for £3, bullshit wanker.

I didn't buy OK Computer, oh no.

I taped it off the CD from Chester library and then stole the inlay cassette cover from Woolworths in Shotton, North Wales to go with it. What a bullshit wanker.

I also bought my first LP from said Woolworths - Bad by Michael Jackson. Just checked and it still pisses over OK Computer.

The only CD I've ever bought from a Tesco.

I honestly can't remember.

Wouldn't've been Woolies though, as there wasn't one where I lived at the time. HMV or Virgin, possibly? Maybe Musiczone? Idk.

Bullshit wanker.
