Great finds Rob! Love The Beautiful South! Some great bands you showed! I go to my local thrift shop to get .99 cent CDs and cassettes as well. Great video! Squeeze! Another band I love! Love all the 45s your got.
Happy New Year Rob, it’s nice to get a bargain especially when everything seems in good condition and Always nice to view your vinyl hauls….take care 👍
Happy New Year Rob. Nice haul there with some good CD titles and nice singles. Charity shops near me rarely have anything decent or turnover stock. cheers Dale
Hi dale happy new year🎉, I’m really fortunate my local charity shop is a bit of a gem and it’s getting better and better from Saturday 6 CDs for £1 is a new offer I can’t resist👍
Happy new year again Rob. Good to see your CD haul, I've been picking up a few myself here and there. Back in the 90s I couldn't stand Chris Evans but I still used to watch TFI religiously every Friday night. Didn't know about that third Blue Nile album. Funnily enough I just bought the CD of Mellon Collie last week. I've got the clear vinyl of Another Nail, great stuff.👍
Hi James blue Nile high album is well worth a listen . It’s one that ideally you’d play through without interruptions.. it’s 20 years old .. better late than never … thanks for watching and commenting 👍
@@retromusings hi .. the price of CDs is crazy … I just can’t resist them for £1 .. I’ll be busy playing them over the weekend the weather looks pretty miserable here .. happy new year, I look forward to more videos in 2025 👍
That is a tremendous haul. I’m glad to see you still dabble in to cassettes. A shop specializing in cassettes!! That would be fantastic. Enjoyed the video. Happy New Year!!!
Hi Tony , the sound quality of cassettes is fantastic.. and I’m lucky to be able to pick them up pretty easily.. thanks for watching and commenting. Health and happiness to you and the queen in 2025 👍
Great haul there, not least Beautiful South cassette and I never see any Mansun 7" round these parts, I'd grab that one on any day. Cool Tom Petty as well. Thanks for sharing Rob and Godt Nytt År 🎆🎇🎆
Hi morten great hear from you .. my local charity shop is always worth a visit and paint it red was a great find .. great to see your channel being so successful. Best wishes for 2025 👍🎉
Nice finds! I’m from America but always enjoy picking up UK 7 inch singles in the charity shops when I go over there. That Chicago single “dialogue/now that you’ve gone” It’s one of my favorite singles. Both sides are brilliant. especially the ending of now that you’ve gone… which reminds me a little of teardrop explodes or Blood, Sweat & Tears. I’m coming back over there in June so I look forward to finding more singles.
Hi , it’s only over the last 5 years that I discovered how good those early Chicago album are so those single were a must have . Good luck hunting for vinyl in June .. thanks for watching and commenting 👍
'Footstompin' Music' by Grand Funk Railroad. Brilliant 45 by one of my favourite bands since 1973. I've got their first 16 LP's from 1969 to 1983! (Rick)
@@robwalkerletthemusicplay Hi. 'Phoenix' LP from 1972 which features the 45 you bought is top notch as is the Todd Rundgren produced 'Shinin' On' LP from 1974. Having said that in my opinion they never made a bad LP! Good luck.
Hi Rob, got myself organised and did a response to John's soul tag so thanks for the encouragement. I didn't take your advice though and just uploaded the 1st take so its not exactly comprehensive in describing everything. Something to improve on next time anyway! Cheers
Some absolute gems there Rob👍👍👍, My local charity shop in town the 7” singles are 30p and Lp’s are 50p😂, To be honest I have got some quite good singles from the charity shop over time👍

@robwalkerletthemusicplay you've got a nice little goldmine there, a really nice collection has been donated near me, I'll be showing some more cd's soon
Hi Rob, good stuff. I recently picked up a really nice cassete deck from the local marketplace and the sound quality is unbelievable. I'm going to try and snag up the good stuff before those become crazy priced like records.
Hi Kevin , I’ll give that b side a listen , sad news about Wayne the osmonds as I mentioned were very popular in our house .. thanks for watching and best wishes in 2025 👍
@ you’re welcome, love the channel, keep the content coming in 2025. I always preferred David Cassidy to the Osmonds back in the day but they did bring out some great music, Goin’ Home is an uptempo favourite of theirs for me, all the best 👍
Hi Tony , it’s all about the not knowing what you might find … the trick is to return even when don’t find something.. some days someone beats you to it😀. Thanks for watching and commenting.. best wishes to you in 2025 👍
Hiya Rob. HNY to you. City in the up? Things very dry here and I'm limited to digging now because of work and life in general. I see a shift in charity shops down and record fairs competition amongst sellers better for buyers. Zooropa is the most interesting good album by U2 IMO. Singles are just fun and less time consuming. I went to see Public service broadcasting in Aylesbury before xmas and haven't bought anything by them yet but really enjoyed it. Chat soon mate take care on the snow and ice ok 😊
Hi Martin HNY 🎉… yeah city have certainly ran out of steam this season .. losing saka is a big blow for you .. I particularly like the first 3 psb albums I’d love to see them live one day 👍
I’d have to disagree, CDs are expensive when you consider what little effort goes into them and lack of demand and popularity you’d think they make them cheaper to try and sell them, this is coming from someone who still buys them and has thousands but I grudge paying £13 for an album that looks like something you used to get free in the paper
@@TheAstronomyFloyd hi … 2nd hand CDs in my area are 6 for £1 that’s a great deal. I do agree anything over £10 for a new cd is criminal.. thanks for watching and commenting 👍
@ yes 2nd hand are cheap enough depending on what it is, my problem is all the older albums I like I already have from my 20+ years of CD collecting, believe me I have a lot 🤣 but I tend to only really get new albums now and that’s where I feel I’m better off getting the record instead for an extra £4 or so 😇🤣
@@TheAstronomyFloyd yeah I agree .. though recently at hmv they were selling newish CDs for £6.99 I bought 3….. most new albums tend to be between £23/£28 pounds so I thought it wasn’t a bad deal
GEEZ-o!! What a haul for £20 😲….I never see Blue Nile or Beautiful South or the likes of any of those singles (plenty of Mantovani or Jim Reeves stuff though 🤨) Well done, you! 👍Cheers-R
@@richards5280 hi Richard I’m really fortunate the charity mill is only a 5 min drive from my home and the stock changes regularly… I might even go back tomorrow they kicked me out when they closed! Thanks for watching 👍
Happy New Year, Rob! Some great finds there. Never saw that TFI comp before. Didn't really like the show much, but there was loads of good bands on there. Most of those Studio Ghibli soundtracks are very chilled, relaxing, Japanese music. I like the Spirited Away soundtrack and have see Howl's Moving Castle, but can't remember the music. Nice for a change. Menswear were a mid-nineties manufactured brit pop band. Remember they never had much credibility as they were just put together by the record label. Think they had a few catchy songs though. Great Stones find! That's a brilliant single. Good start to the year hunting in the wild! Cheers, Jack
Hi jack I like menswear I just had one of those what year were they moments!! … I know they were a bit manufactured but I like their debut.. this charity outlets has a overflow department where CDs are 6 for £1 … and there probably another 1k 7 inch singles to look through … it’s nice to have a big bag of goodies for £20.. thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Nice CD finds by Blue Nile and David Gilmour ... I used to like TFI Friday. It was a golden age for UK pop music ... I've only recently realised what a great songwriter Paul Heaton is ... I'd pass on 'Zooropa' .. R.I.P. Wayne Osmond ... Rob Walker buys a record by Tom Petty. That's something you don't see very often.
Hi Rob - You should get a Jukebox like Melinda Murphy ! I really like the first two Blue Nile albums. Hoping as the weather cools Norwich heat up ! The Polar Vortex 🥶 is coming my way & frigid temperatures 🌡 with it.
@@davidellis5141 hi David I had a jukebox in the early 2000s I had great fun loading it up with singles ..it looks like a season of mid table obscurity for Norwich .. at least you’ll be playing Ipswich next season 👍
Ive not had much out of that place for a while but its a bit out of my way so I don't call in that often. Might have to try get over soon though! You did well. Are there any LPs in the sale??
