Today a trip to Herne Hill Hoxfam, where you get a better class of second hand CD, albeit firmly rooted in the 90s.
Stepping neatly past the inevitable copies of Free Peace Sweet by Dodgy (an object lesson in nominative determinism if there ever was one) and Morcheeba’s Big Calm …
We Care by Whale
including the magnificent
Some Big Beat goodness from Apollo 440 with Dude Descending A Staircase
and the sadly overlooked Bristol trip-hop outfit Smith & Mighty with Bass Is Maternal
The rest are all from Amacuntz, taking advantage of their offer today of £10 off an order totalling over £50 + I had a fiver gift code credited yesterday, for participating in a customer survey last month. (The £10 offer expired at midnight on Fri 20th, unfortunately. I ordered in the last hour of the offer still running, so had no time to offer a heads up.)
With the voucher + tenner off from Amacuntz + the fab sale offer from Vocalion, the whole lot 'ere have cost me pretty much bang on £80 for a great haul of real classic albums + Taeko Kunishimas latest, which it was only a matter of me getting round to buying in any case.
