Hmm! I might actually go in for that!
But I'm in Brum!

Be more specific, which other day?
Or will they likely have sold out?

Popped in today but didn't buy anything. Manager is my brother's best friend. Reckons they might get Animal Collective for an instore soon. I'd be very pleasantly surprised, and also shocked; manager is also often full of shit, although he means well.

Espers II for £3. There was an Animal Collective CD for £3 but ILM has put me off listening to them.

you let ILM put you off a band?

A band I hadn't heard, not like I used to like them and ILM made me throw their albums in a skip or sumthin'
― Aw naw, no' Annoni oan noo an' aw (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 16:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Well I never saw you as someone who would chuck out cd's just because ILM hated them.

The descriptions made them sound vile - from both sides of the debate
― Aw naw, no' Annoni oan noo an' aw (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 16:18 (fourteen years ago) link
I still think they are vile, however, I now like them. If that makes sense. Any logical description of them sounds like something that would make me want to kill kittens. But, somehow, it works, and I have been sucked in.

I like the early stuff, the last couple i wasnt so keen on and the newest one I've only heard once.

The Elektra thing was there on Saturday. I would phone or something before making a special journey.

Well, as it turns out I'll be passing there anyway, so I'll have a look-in, thanks anyway.

Krakow posted this on the king crimson thread, FOPP in glasgow have a big prog rock display with all the king crimson cds for a fiver. I finally picked up Discipline.
Also FOPP in Glasgow has Meters cds for a fiver. I have them on vinyl (bought from fopp in the late 90s up the west end of glasgow, back when fopp licensed albums to represson vinyl) but if you dont have Meters albums then get these!

I'm still waiting on the Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions box to turn up. I know that it was offered by one of the bulk-selling wholesalers for cheap a couple of months ago and expected it to appear in Fopp before too long, but so far no word...
― krakow, Thursday, 6 August 2009 22:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Which Meters? I got Rejuvenation on vinyl as part of the Virgin clearout (along with a bunch of James Brown, Lyn Collins, Gil Scott Heron, Donny Hathaway etc) a while back, but I'd love some of the earlier ones. Wish I'd snapped up all the Fopp soul and jazz vinyl in the late 90s. I got a few, but my schoolboy/student budget and lack of knowledge meant I must have missed some amazing stuff at bargain prices. Sigh.
― Stew, Thursday, 6 August 2009 22:59 (fourteen years ago) link
theres earlier and later ones. Look in the meters section on the racks.
I got a lof of the fopp funk vinyl back then. Tower sold them too
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 6 August 2009 23:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Lot
Neither Fopp nor music, but HMV in Oxford had season one of The A Team for a fiver. I managed to resist.

'Horizons Touched - The Music of ECM' for £10 yesterday out of Glasgow Union Street. Amazing. A super fancy Granta coffee table beauty in a hefty black slipcase. I love me some ECM...

They had quite a few of each tonight, but you know how these go...
They wouldn't happen to be doing Beatles boxes at a similar price would they?
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 11 September 2009 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
The single CDs were about a pound more than other places.

Simon Reynolds' Totally Wired for £2!!! They've got stacks of the paperback original in the Glasgow Byre's Road branch, and presumably elsewhere.
Better still, I just picked up Michael Bracewell's Remake Remodel for £3! It's a beautiful Faber hardback, with gorgeous photo plates. They had a stack of 'em in Glasgow Union Street branch.
Loads of Ballard and David Peace for £2 just now too.

Head in Bristol are doing this along with a few of the other remastered editions (fresh, and the bands debut i think) for £1.99 each, i will probably succumb by end of the week.

All on Hip Priest

Yeah, I got one of those a while back. It had "Session Musician", a funny one, they only played it twice ever and never recorded it. One of his 'character' pieces a'la "Solicitor in Studio"
― Mark G, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 08:08 (fourteen years ago) link
Not sure if they'll be any good, but you don't see them about much, so I jumped on it.

Sandy Denny's "Like An Old Fashioned Waltz" for £3.
One other Sandy Denny and some Fairport titles in the same rack too, which I may go back for after I check reviews.
Christ, this album is beautiful though. I'm so pleased I risked it today.

Was that Byre's Road or Union St krakow?
― Count Palmiro Vicarion (Stew), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 22:14 (fourteen years ago) link
Union Street. Upstairs on the first outward facing display rack.
Sandy Denny "Old Fashioned Waltz" and "Rendezvous" remasters for £3 each, Fairport's s/t for £5 and "Nine" and the "Heydey" BBC Sessions for £3 each, from what I remember.
― krakow, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 22:27 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm going back for all but "Nine" from my readings, I think.

august darnell/kid creole comp on strut ('going places') for £3.
― the highest per-vote vag so far (history mayne), Sunday, 7 February 2010 17:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Also picked up the Kid Creole comp, and one of those Ian Dewhirst Northern Soul Story comps for £3. Was looking for the Mark Hollis on the off-chance but they didn't have it in Cambridge. One of the odd effects of Fopp is that I now never buy any Strut compilations until they go down to £5 - they all do eventually.
