    Decca SXLs? No problem, my local Oxfam has plenty of them. But they will probably ask £20 - £30 for each LP.

    They're not stupid - the guy who looks after the stock always checks the value on-line and prices them accordingly. Trouble is the physical condition of the vinyl is rarely taken into account.

    Well worth a visit but if you want to go through the lot allow a whole day.
    One-way system, not wide enough to let two people pass. And viewing stuff lower down means bending sideways - if you don't, the best girdle in the world wouldn't keep your arse from causing a vinyl avalanche. Guy probably has at least one copy of everything that's ever been made, but we'll never know

    Another CD tower has appeared in the charity shop at the end of the street.

    See if I can get in there Saturday early doors and beat my unknown rival to it.

    They are DIY design by Troels Graveson http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Faital-3WC-15.htm

    Thought I had put a link but no.

    I'm not building them myself though so they should be good.

    Proper!
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
