CD Hunting in Scunthorpe

[@shaunkennedy1098]

During the mid 90s to mid 00s I amassed a CD collection of around 150 albums and a couple dozen singles. Then, streaming took over and i didn't start collecting until 2015 when i started collecting vinyl. Since then I have a collection of around 200 LPs and a lot of them are britpop reissues. However, recently, the cost of vinyl has grown out of control and I've found myself scouring charity shops for CDs trying to fill in the gaps in my old collection. I really enjoy digging through CDs unearthing some gems for dirt cheap prices. Keep up the good work

[@britpopbuzz8564]

That's great to hear. The vinyl price rise has gone out of control. Definitely sticking to CDs

[@jimmycampbell78]

Most 90s era used CDs you can get dirt cheap. If you ever come down to London I found most of the Oxfam shops have used CD sections and they have loads from the era and bands (1990s/UK) that you collect, I've picked stuff up on CD priced between 10p and £4 at London's Oxfams, the same will be true in their stores in major towns and cities across the country I guess.

[@britpopbuzz8564]

It is very slim pickings up here in Lincolnshire. I will not be able to do it here again for a few months.

So, the UK and here in The Netherlands it looks the same. Lot of 90's stuff and beyond with some best off low budget cd's from artists from the past. The good stuff you find in record stores with higher prices. I have same thrift stores also in my neighborhood when I go hunting, but the good stuff I find is usually when I visit a flea market .. bit higher priced but not as high as in second hand record stores. A well, it's also the excitement to find a gem in a thrift store 👍👍

I didn't know Scunny had any non-charity shops that sell CDs. Record Village used to be pretty good but closed down years ago.

[@britpopbuzz8564]

There is a record shop in the market. It's small and does not have a lot of stock. Record Village was great.

@Britpop Buzz. To remove creases from posters and book pages, use a dry iron on a solid, flat surface. Place 2 or 3 A4 pieces of paper over the poster, then iron the paper, moving to a different part each time. Make sure not to use a steam iron.

[@britpopbuzz8564]

Thank you. Just reading this made me nervous about doing it.

[@bungee1965]

@@britpopbuzz8564 Find an old book, or poster and crease one of the pages or poster. Have a few test runs before doing your poster. start on heat setting 2 and work upwards until you're happy with the results. Have Confidence, it works. Good luck buddy.

Hi im viewing from New Zealand. I have a large cd collection. Because im in my sixties, it ranges from the 1960s to the early 2000s. All genres Rock / Pop , Soul / Funk , Disco , Punk / New Wave. I also own a large Jazz collection too. I go to charity stores and seek cds as you do. I have some rare ones where im not likely to find another copy of whatever it is. I notice your t - shirt with the group Blur on it. I like them. Also other bands around that time in the 1990s such as Suede , Pulp , Supergrass . One of my favorite groups of the 1980s is Echo & the Bunnymen. Their album Ocean Rain from 1984 is excellent. I bought it on vinyl back then , and played it alot. From Carl.

[@britpopbuzz8564]

You have a great collection there. It also sounds very big. Going round the charity shops is a great day because you never know what you will find. Echo and the Bunny Men are a great band. Thank you for watching and please see my other videos.

[@HaakonOdinsson]

My little funhouse are an Irish rock band on the heavy side. I’m a metalhead and I’d have got that one for sure. Mostly vinyl addict, but I’ll get cd’s. There’s hardly any metal in the charity shops…mostly the throwaway pop, classical, 70’s easy listening etc. mind you, I did see an Alice in Chains “Facelift” album in an air ambulance charity shop, so that was a pleasant surprise 😊

[@britpopbuzz8564]

@@HaakonOdinsson ya correct I don't think I saw any metal bands. It's a mystery.

[@HaakonOdinsson]

@@britpopbuzz8564 not to me, metal isn’t throwaway, unlike most pop. I enjoyed your little cd hunt jaunt, I like content like this, people finding stuff in the wild. Hope you find loads of what you like. All the best

Lived in Scunny for a couple of weeks about 15 years ago. Did a few gig there during the '90s, one or two at the Baths. Long time ago now.

[@britpopbuzz8564]

Who did you do the gigs with ?

[@blastfromthepast-o1d]

@@britpopbuzz8564 No one famous, just Grimsby bands. I think I did two or three Battle of the Bands or Rock Open. Once, amusingly, with a band whose drummer hadn't turned up and I learnt the songs in the dressing room. I remember going to see Loud there in 1991 and tried to impress a girl by saying that I knew the guitarist. Which I did. Think I played a gig at a pub there on my birthday one year, all a long time ago.

It's probably cheaper & less stressful to get the 20th anniversary editons of the first 2 mansun albums to get the bsides & bonus tracks. There's also kleptomania but i would imagine it is still pricey.

I was the singer, writer and rhythm guitarist with LIFT, with Chas Bayliss on lead guitar, Sean Coll on bass and Dan Clark on drums. We recorded our 'Four Storeys' EP at Workshop Studio in Redditch, in 1997. As far as I know there's nothing of LIFT available online - but I'll try and rectify that - watch this space!!

@@Wetangle I buy CDs because I enjoy actually owning the music. I have the physical CD in my home that I can play at any time. I do not have to worry about internet problems or the music being removed from streaming services. There are also lots of albums and singles in my collection that are not on streaming platforms. I know I am one of only a handful of people who own certain CDs. I am enjoying creating a library/catalogue of British indie music from 89-99.
