I've bought several CDs from charity shops of classical music played on period instruments. But they are not that common.

Agree regarding CDs (as well as DVDs), but many of the LPs on sale are in poor condition (and poorly presented - often just plonked on the floor, one on top of the other) with tatty dog-eared sleeves.
Quite often the best LPs are those of classical music sold by private sellers who have looked after them - but they are few and far between. The worse are those from traders who just consult their record buyers' guide and pay little attention to the condition of the records.
Yes, good condition lp's are few and far between these days. The good ones have probably been snapped up by hipsters :punch: and been put into picture frames. The last good one I got was a near mint copy of "Houses of the Holy" with textured inner sleeve for £7. And that was a couple of years ago.
A couple bottles of beer to pass time, and a bottle of almond oil and some cotton wool balls to give the ears a clean out, then hopefully that would improve my hearing.
There are better uses for the almond oil, but you'd need more than a tenner to make it happen
