Worth a punt for under £1.00 for all three?

Marshall & Hain - Free Ride. Including "Dancing In The City" on side1.
Seems to be in v/g condition for a 1978 LP.
£1.99 from a local charity shop.

yes remember it well his nickname was "flash harry" and he was realy good n-v Rob

Jon and Vangelis - Short Stories. Vinyl. 50p

The Mozart Collection vol1 - RPO - various conductors.
25p from local charity shop.

I give a lot to charity in the course of a year by buying music. I do think Oxfam need to change their policy of charging the price Record Collector states though. For example about 6 months ago they had a first issue White Album with no inserts, 20cm cover tear down the middle front and the vinyl so scratched an old gramophone needle would have fouund difficulty tracking........£75. I'd guess the true value would be nearer £1 to someone who wanted a pair of tatty black inners.

BHF dos this sometimes too. I pointed out on several occasions that you can only charge those prices for EX or mint copies. Reply " they still sell at those prices". It would seem people just collect the item not the music contain therein.I'd rather have good music and tatty cover, mind you most times that is mutually exclusive. More than once though I have bought an album in a tatty sleeve, without an inner and been more than surprised to find the album plays almost perfectly.

I dont know about that one .
I love my 5x.I put a frame glass under it yesterday and its made a big dif.I think the money might go on a better arm and cart for the Linn.
The main problem is i think going to be your speakers.
I know i am going to want a pair,
ATB Munch.

Must admit they are sounding pretty fine as I type this. The combo of Naim CDP and Berning valves is pretty awesome too. Left my 52/250.2 for dead.

Hope you like them too, don't forget to bring Alex with you. I've not committed to the new discs but I have a compilation and "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" as the original, that sounds pretty good.

Best regards,

Steve
