Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)

[Macca]

I bought this when it came out in 1998, and will have paid about 12 quid for it. What would that be in today's money? I don't think I'll be having a late one tonight, so I'm going to hit the car boot first thing, I'm due a bargain.

About 20 notes I think. It's not really my sort of thing and it just goes on and on so good job I didn't pay that much for it.

I wince when I see the price tags on some of the CDs I bought in the 1990s.

Last of the cheapies, this one was 55p

Oh dear, I assume it being 'EMI Middle East' is the reason for the clumsy covering up of her lady bumps.

Got a few CDs at car boot this morning. At £1 each not super-bargains, but I'm not grumbling.

Rolling Stones 'Exile on Main Street'
Santana 'Abraxas'
Mark Knopfler 'Sailing to Philadephia'
Vangelis 'Portraits'

I almost bought "Who Built the Moon" by Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds, and that would be the closest I'd ever get to Oasis. But the bloody case was empty. The seller already knew the disc was missing, so why bother to bring it?

I bought that Melanie C album when it cam out (and the Madge one) - "I Turn to You" is a great track.

Daughter is currently baking a cake so she has put her Spotify playlist on the kitchen speakers - usual teenage girl stuff like Taylor Swift, Raye, Lana Del Ray but then suddenly The Smiths - apparently she loves them! I'll have to let her play my vinyl albums, or maybe that's how she discovered them?

Just an image off of Bing. Not a pic of the one I actually got so lady bumps are present on that.

One of those 40p CDs I got turned out to be an empty case so that means they were actually 50p each. Might need time to recover from that financial shockwave.

I need to find another copy of 'Exile' - mine has CD rot and won't play all the way through anymore.

Rage Against The Machine 'Renegade'



Not their best but has its moments.

CD rot, are you storing them in the damp or have you got woodworm?

Don't chuck it away Mart, I wouldn't mind having the booklet out of it. Mine has all the pages stuck together, like a well-thumbed copy of Hustler. Disc looks to be ok though.
