Tonksi...............get yerself down oxfam

behind those flowery dresses in the dark corner
in the tatty cardboard box

behind the elvis costello records


its there...............................denise lopez, ce ce rogers, young mc in its original sleeve,

*I always find car-boot sales are good
10p a vinyl and if they think you know your music (and they know what their selling), pick up some real shit ones, to disguise it.......
and then say am not really sure what these tunes go like so 'ill have em cheap.............................in case their shit.........
IT WORKS FOR ME............

*a funny story for you, my mate bought 75-100 classic electro records (weststreet mob, sugarhill etc...........)
for £20, off his mates mum
his mate had gone to oz for 6 months
and during this time his mum had decided these records where gathering dust
so she sold em.........................OUCH.

needless to say my mates got some shit hot electro

Charity Shop Vinyl Buying Guide

1. Go to the grottiest area of the city that you live in
2. Have a sniff around and follow the pee and poo smells
3. Apologise and get back out of the cardboard box of your local tramp
4. Try the next place that smells of the above
5. Go in said establishment and go to back of shop
6. Get on hands and knees and push other vinyl hunters out of the way
7. Rumage around in boxes, getting paper cuts and very dirty fingers
8. Tut to yourself as you have to prise through Beethoven classic symphonies and Tiffany records
9. Get to the back of the box and find your amazing bargain of the centuary, feeling very pleased with yourself.

Now 1 of 2 things will happen

a. You take record out of the sleeve and realise some sneaky b**tard has replaced top tune with Bros/Cliff Richard, you then feel quite deflated and leave the shop muttering as you go

or

b. You take record out of sleeve, realise its in mint condition and run to the counter to part with your pennies then...

10. Speak very nicely to Mrs Volunteer and try and get your top tune for £1, sometimes this works (try mentioning their hairdo or how lovely the shop looks, or complain about scratches or the fact the record is quite old - this usually works for me !!)

11. Leave the premises with cheesy grin on your face and head to the next pee hole !!

Sweet xx

P.S. Good luck everyone, let me know your progress !! :D
