£3 for the jazz, I should add.

but Fopp will still it for £2, even it it's worth more?
Rare indeed is the second hand CD that is worth more than £2. Obviously there are exceptions like Decals but by and large there is practically no collectors market in used CDs.

I manage to sell CDs for pretty good money on ebay, but yes mainstream or unfashionable back catalogue CDs don't go for much if at all.

Now if they'd just put the eno reissues down to £3.

They have! Bought Here Come The Warm Jets, On Land, Apollo, Music For Films and Before And After Science from Byres Road Glasgow. These were all they had.

Bought Apollo and Discreet Music £3 each from Gower St. London. Fancy going back for few more Eno ones. Will prob try the £1 off with an old CD/DVD offer thing when I buy something reasonably priced.

Monsieur le Fopp in Covent Garden had many great bargains yesterday, such as a few BFI Flipside DVD and Blu-ray releases for £3 or £5 (I got Little Malcolm, Lunch Hour and Voice Over), as well of plenty of other similarly priced DVDs of interest ( Sleep Furiously, for example) in their special clearance bins. Bargain of the day was probably the Stevie Wonder box set with a few minor scuffs on the packaging for £5 (also available in perfect nick for £15, itself a bargain) but I somehow resisted this.
All this and I think I passed Marcello downstairs in Sounds of the Universe.

I was there yesterday lunchtime so it's highly likely! Sorry I missed you but my mind was on the curious vinyl there (all at competitive Sounds of the Universe prices of course).

I see HMV have started doing the trade-in thing, so they have a big rack of crap at £2 each as well.

Perhaps they've got a deal to send them over to China for recycling into street furniture like all those Robbie Williams CDs

They've had some good jazz 2 for £5 offers on in Glasgow lately (and elsewhere I'd imagine). The Impulse 2-in-1s went pretty quickly (got Black Saint/Mingusx3) but there are bunch of Riverside and Prestige albums there: late 50s Trane, loads of Joe Henderson, Sonny Rollins and McCoy Tyner (got the awesome Enlightenment live album from 1973) etc

Yeah, first read about it on an ILX thread, so I doff my cap to yourself and anyone else who raved about it. Nice to have a proper copy. I'm also a big fan of Sahara, which I picked up a couple of years back. Saw him in Prague last year - free concert in Old Town Square - and while he wasn't going for it like on those classic sides, it was a classy set of Latin tinged post-bop with Gary Bartz on sax. There were a couple of other Tyner CDs there, so I shall investigate further.

Different thing:
In Fopp CovGard, they have a bunch of "X-Factor Karaoke Kits" for £5
What they actually are, is a fairly decent microphone and mixer. Decent for a fiver anyway, metal not plastic.
I got one a while ago at a 'outlet' for £10, did one of the ILX Xmas track vocals using it, not bad...

(Probably a fiver's worth of cables in the box at least anyway..)
very little in the way of interesting cds in cov garden fopp last night, more and more of the ground floor seems to be given over to, mostly foreign, dvds. but that's fine by me. some Bela Tarr dvds for a fiver each (Damnation, Man from London, Werckmeister, but i didn't see Satantango) and the Wajda war trilogy box that's been on my amazon wishlist ever since i caught the first two on Film4 and then deleted the last before watching it in some bizarre PVR accident.

I was tempted by the Theo Angelopoulos box sets the other day, but maybe I should work through the 20+ hours of unwatched DVDs I already have rather than buying anything new. Still, they were cheap...

(20+ hours of unwatched DVDs... i hear this. have about 20 in front of the tv and have just bought outer limits box set that was 26 hours for £12. but i just think of them as choices rather than an excess)

A Bella Union side-rack promotion in the Nottingham Fopp has John Grant's Queen Of Denmark - my favourite album of the decade thus far - at a mere three quid.

The CovGard and Bloomsbury Fopps still do, but the used racks are nothing to write home about.

XP Mike T, if they have the Thousands record in that Bella Union rack, you might like it too.

Right so probably better to get mailorder where the unit is € so a bit cheaper. But really need to know if issues with Grand Wazoo not playing were ironed out. Seemed to be pretty widespread.
