Last 5 records you bought??

For me, it would be, newest last:

The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack (limited to 1000 copies on vinyl - imported from US) - $19.99 + shipping/import

The Crown - Crowned in Terror (finally got reduced to a reasonable amount so i snapped it up) - £9.99

Stanley Clarke - Modern Man - £3.50

Vader - Live in Japan - £6.50

Katie Melua - Call off the Search - £9.77 (god bless tesco)

Quite a mix there, although the metal wins hands down for most listenable.

 

All in sales:

Human League - Dare for 2.99
Underworld - Hundred Days Off for 5.99
Complete works of Air (5 albums) 20.99
Kosheen - Resist 5.99
Nightmares on Wax - Mind Elevations 5.99

Bargain!!!!!

I had all of these on high quality MP3, but it is nice to support artists and have real hi-fi recording...

 

5 albums for £21 is quite a steal.

I wish i could get music that cheap - only 2 shops selling music here, 1 being hmv, who can only order the stuff i want on import so they say, £20 an album The other shop is good, but again, charges over the odds for not very well heard of titles.

 

Joy Division - Unkown Pleasures on LP £8
Joy Division - 1977-1980 CD £6
Bee Gee's This Where I came In CD £6
Barbara Strisland - GUILTY LP £1
Buddy Holly LiVe LP £1

 

Ils presents Y4K - £8.50
Hybrid - Morning Sci Fi - £10
Y4K Next Level Breaks - Dub Pistols - £8.50
Layo & Bushwacka - Night Works Special Edition - £10
BT - Emotional Technology - £10

 

Nice! Nice! Nice!

Bruce Springsteen- Born in the USA (Ex/Mint £1.50)

Privately from a PFM member:
Oasis - Be Here Now (£20 Mint/Mint - looks new !)

I'm still desperately on the look out for :

Oasis- The Masterplan on 12" double gatefold ( must be minimum of Ex+/Mint ) any label will do, eg; Creation, Big Brother, helterskelter (Sony). I'd consider the 7 x 10" box set, but too much hassle changing sides & scope for trashing my needle on the felt mat, it also sells needlessly for joke money these days. I buy records to play, not look at and hoard.

I had no Queen in my collection apart from an Old greatest hits Hi-Fi VHS Video so did something about it , glad i did, its been on constantly . Fun lovin crims have been getting a good spanking too, excellent sound quality and varied material spread over two fat heavy records, a fiver well spent !

 

Today you bought one of my all time favourite albums!

 

About time too! Both are superb albums.

Right, last 5 I picked up.

Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Fever To Tell
22-20's - 05/03
Libertines - Up The Bracket
Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf (2cd edition)
Show Of Hands - Country Life

on the list to get ASAP:

Mars Volta, Kings Of Leon, maybe the Distillers - Sing Sing Death House, but I'll listen to Dom's copy first if it ever turns up!

 

Ah, but I'd been trying to get hold of "The Sound Of The Suburbs" for ages without avail, so it ended up as being the only one of two albums I actually had on CD-R because I couldn't track down originals of. Thanks to Dom who spotted it on re-release and at sale price too at HMV that was one CD-R which I now longer need. The other CD-R was "Martin" which I now have on vinyl too.

 

I'll take a guess at Galaxie 500?
