... Halloween and the Thing on cassette from a library book sale, for free, a couple of months back.

I love charity shop finds though. It feels good to find something in the mire of Robbie Williams and Stereophonics albums.

Think the last 2 cds I got from a chazzer were The Datsuns first album and a Black Sabbath one.

Came in a proper case and everything.

for £1.99. good nick too

Tangerine Dream - Atem [vinyl]
Terry Riley - A Rainbow In Curved Air [vinyl]
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock [cassette]

99p

50p on cassette tape, and when I got it home realised it was signed on the inlay by all the band.

for like 99p

Original debut album which only sold a few hundred copies, & was subsequently rerecorded for a new label. Original copy in a charity shop for 2 quid. When the rerecorded album came out I went to see them do an in-store at Borders & got them to sign it, & even the band themselves were amazed to see someone with a copy. "Ah you're the one who bought it!" they joked. Nice fellas.

also got a nice shirt last night

99p

it was called 'You Should See Me In My Car'. I bought it cos I liked the cover. Turned out to be a lost classic, sounds like the best Boo Radleys stuff.

the standard of charity ship vinyl has greatly decreased. It's all Mantovani, Max Boyce, and the occasional bit of Abba these days. My all-time best find is probably a mint condition copy of The Stone Roses debut for a quid, but that was years ago.

because she liked the cover and begged me to get it for her, I looked and it was the second Econoline album! I was so proud.

Sebodah - Weed Forestin'
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted
Melvins - Prick

probably the best things i've found.. all in the £3 or £4 bracket

£3 quid

and sold it for over £100. Jackpot

All excellent condition vinyl:

Talk Talk - Colour of Spring
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock

All next to each other in the rack, £3.50 each

But earlier in the year I had a good couple of weeks at my local oxfam ang got Bowie Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane and Young Americans all in practically mint condition for 1.99 each and then Led Zepplin 3 also in mint condition for 2.99. Oh and I had New Order Lowlife last month in the best second hand condition I've ever seen (the outer see through paper sleeve has no rips or tears and isn't all grubby) that cost me £4

Coverless sadly, but vinyl in good nick. Goes for over a ton but a quality album.

Brand new still wrapped Orbital - Wonky for £1.50!
Jeffrey Lewis -It's the Ones Who've Cracked That the Light Shines Through
The Very Best of Ethiopiques 2 disc set
