My last recent shop was about 10 days ago on a chance visit down in Bridlington. Found a little record shop and managed to pick up a few 50p bargins including Michael Jacksons Thriller. To my surprise and delight its a great copy! Plays like a dream after id cleaned it up and seated it into a new Mofi sleeve. Its seeing quite a lot of play on the Rega.

Also from the same shop picked up another Exc copy of Def Leppard Hysteria. Many others included ABBA GHVol.2, Fleetwood Mac Live, lot of Queen / Freddie Mercury, Dire Straits, Blondie, Leo Sayer, OST of Dirty Dancing, Grease, Top Gun (the missus choices - honest!!) Flash Gordon OST. Not a bad day all in all! :)

Bought at a car boot very cheaply. Not sure it'll be my cup of tea, but at 50p, how could I refuse.

Skynyrd? 50p? Even if it's scratched, you can imagine they got there from someone dropping their .38 onto the disc as they changed sides :)

Gimme back my bullets and break open the bourbon !!!

I am stuck in South Africa but couldn't resist a bit of thrifty vinyl shopping whilst away on a long weekend in Cape Town — picked up a mint Mike Oldfield Crises for about £2.50

Lots of other good stuff but went beyond my secondhand-vinyl-budget rule.

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

I never thought I'd get this on vinyl, and I've not seen it listed on any of the lists from our vinyl suppliers, so when I saw is I thought I'd snap it up! It is a Back To Black re-release not an original, but I don't really care, I just wanted it on vinyl.

2001 OST

Released n 1968, and by the look of it, this is an original pressing! Vinyl isn't in great condition, but I'm not too fussed for a fiver.
