RSD 2024

went up there - about a dozen people queueing outside - but I was told that early doors there was a line all the way to the corner of the street, which is quite a distance.

Only two at a time allowed in the shop but he knows me so he let me in too.

Eventually he brought a trestle table out onto the pavement and put what was left on that. Someone paid £30 for a Bowie album. No CDs (might have been interested in the 2CD De La Soul but no dice).

So just had my usual root through the s/h CDs. Must have been some big Country fan dump his collection as there was a ton of Waylon Jennings and Conway Twitty.

Anyway got 8 albums including an original CD release of 'Aja' (flat transfer from a master) which I'd been after for a while. £28 the lot so better value than the Bowie LP although no doubt that will be £300 in a few years.

Lots of youngsters in the queue plus a bloke who looked like a miniature Walter Becker.

Didn't know they were in the band. I remember Stuart Adamson... I'm so sorry, I'll get me coat

Wasn't this was it? Mine came off car boot and won'r have been more than a couple of quid.

That one is available from Etsy for £64.

No rush, I read somewhere there 8000 copies, so hopefully will be able to pick it up at a decent price, £64 well overpriced

No it was this one:



2xCD box.

He didn't order in any of the CDs - and I couldn't be arsed to walk up into the town to see if they had it at the other shop.

I did my own "RSD" today, but was done trawling the charity shops!

Nine CDs for £6, not too bad.

Just ordered online £40.99, plus delivery , so quite happy

Well done Robin.

Some shops put the surplus up for grabs on the net for extortionate prices. I bought Gallows Pole soundtrack by Goat for £27. Looked on the net and quite a few places had it for £70.

Disgusting behaviour for participating shops to do that, shame on them.

Were they definitely shops? I had a quick search on Ebay for Alison Goldfrapp's "The Love Reinvention" (which is a RSD 24 release, though I don't know how much the shops were asking). A few businesses selling it on Ebay for around £40 with the postage. But as for "private" sellers, well... they were all taking the piss, but this one gets the crown... name and shame!
