One pound at the hospice shop:

Not sure how much of a Mike O fan I am, really, but keep finding his CDs and keep buying them anyway. #CharityShopCDs #MikeOldfield
My first decent CD find for a while:
• And We'll All Have Tea: English Folk Anthology (feat. Richard Thompson, Maddy Prior, Shirley Collins, Watersons, Albion Band, etc.)
The sticker said £1 but the lady at the till charged me £2 because it’s two CDs.
#CharityShopCDs #Folk
One pound from the hospice shop:
• Meat Loaf – Dead Ringer (1981).
I only have Bat Out of Hell, so this doubles my Meat Loaf collection. Unfortunately, online reviews say it’s not very good. Are they right? #CharityShopCDs #MeatLoaf #CharityShopping
Fifty pence in Barnardo’s (but once £2 in Cancer Research):
• Sharon Shannon – Out the Gap (1994).
#CharityShopCDs #SharonShannon #CharityShopping
One pound in Cancer Research:
• Julia Fordham – Swept (1991).
Her third album. I only have the first two. Apparently there’s a version with a bonus disc, and a US issue with different artwork, but I was pleased to find this “regular” edition anyway. #CharityShopCDs #JuliaFordham
A CD for £1 in the hospice shop:
• Count Basie and His Orchestra – April in Paris (1957)
