On Saturday morning I went to Dublin's largest Oxfam shop which was selling off 25,000 records they got from a radio station. This had been very heavily publicised and it was pretty animal getting to access the records as they were on long trestle tables with only about 18 inches between them.
Annoyingly I discovered that since they were donated by a radio station in Belfast they had been on sale there for the previous 2 weeks so it was well picked over already. It was just the rock/pop of 1976-91 vintage, No major rarities that I could see and a lot of it was priced accordingly. €40 for Tonto’s Expanding Headband, even €15 for stuff like Dexy’s.
I also discovered that the jazz and blues went on sale that day in Belfast. If I had known that a day trip up there would have been the plan. Now whatÂ’s the chance it would be worth going to Belfast tomorrow - if I could get the time off - I suspect the best bits will be gone and I suspect the "jazz" may be fairly straight ahead and square. But it is not coming to Dublin afterwards its going to another town that'd be just as hard to get to for a day trip.
Anyway gripes aside this is what I hauled out, lots of jazz funk The Cheapest ones were the Denis Waterman lps for 50c and the Can album was €18. Total was about €135.
