  Today's haul:
  
  Beck - Odelay   0.01p
  
  Radiohead - The Bends   0.59p
  
  Radiohead - OK Computer   0.47p
  
  BB King - Completely Well   4.99
  
  All second hand CDs from Amazon, replacing previously owned stuff that's been lent over the years. Comes in at a tenner with delivery. They just get ripped one and put into the loft!
  
  Also got lucky with three Dylan albums for £9 delivered the other week.

  Every one a winner!
  

  I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
  You could have done better but I don’t mind
  You just kinda wasted my precious time
  But don’t think twice, it’s all right

  Recently acquired a box of 25 pristine (NM/NM) HMV classical recordings (LP) including a rare boxed HMV compilation of Cello music played by Du Pre (seen on that auction site for £55) for £20 the lot.  It was at a Chariddddddy shop....nice.
