For me, it would be, newest last:

The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack (limited to 1000 copies on vinyl - imported from US) - $19.99 + shipping/import

The Crown - Crowned in Terror (finally got reduced to a reasonable amount so i snapped it up) - £9.99

Stanley Clarke - Modern Man - £3.50

Vader - Live in Japan - £6.50

Katie Melua - Call off the Search - £9.77 (god bless tesco)

Quite a mix there, although the metal wins hands down for most listenable.

All in sales:

Human League - Dare for 2.99
Underworld - Hundred Days Off for 5.99
Complete works of Air (5 albums) 20.99
Kosheen - Resist 5.99
Nightmares on Wax - Mind Elevations 5.99

Bargain!!!!!

I had all of these on high quality MP3, but it is nice to support artists and have real hi-fi recording...
 
5 albums for £21 is quite a steal.

I wish i could get music that cheap - only 2 shops selling music here, 1 being hmv, who can only order the stuff i want on import so they say, £20 an album :( The other shop is good, but again, charges over the odds for not very well heard of titles.
 
Joy Division - Unkown Pleasures on LP £8
Joy Division - 1977-1980 CD £6
Bee Gee's This Where I came In CD £6
Barbara Strisland - GUILTY LP £1
Buddy Holly LiVe LP £1
 
Ils presents Y4K - £8.50
Hybrid - Morning Sci Fi - £10
Y4K Next Level Breaks - Dub Pistols - £8.50
Layo & Bushwacka - Night Works Special Edition - £10

On Brand new Vinyl (Fopp Glasgow):

Fun Lovin Criminals- Loco (new £5.00)

Richard ashcroft - Human Conditions ( new £5)
Inspiral Carpets- The singles (new £5)
Iron Maiden - Edward the great -Pic disc (new £7) if i'd known it was a pic disc i wouldn't have bought it

On s/h Vinyl - cover graded first:

Queen- The Miracle (Mint/Mint £8)
Queen- The works (mint/mint £5)
Queen- A kind of magic (Mint/Mint £6)(I use this as one of my demo's now ! it sounds so good)
Chris Rea- Road to hell (Mint/mint £1.50)
Bruce Springsteen- Born in the USA (Ex/Mint £1.50)

Privately from a PFM member:
Oasis - Be Here Now (£20 Mint/Mint - looks new !)

I'm still desperately on the look out for :

Oasis- The Masterplan on 12" double gatefold ( must be minimum of Ex+/Mint ) any label will do, eg; Creation, Big Brother, helterskelter (Sony). I'd consider the 7 x 10" box set, but too much hassle changing sides & scope for trashing my needle on the felt mat, it also sells needlessly for joke money these days. I buy records to play, not look at and hoard.

I had no Queen in my collection apart from an Old greatest hits Hi-Fi VHS Video so did something about it , glad i did, its been on constantly . Fun lovin crims have been getting a good spanking too, excellent sound quality and varied material spread over two fat heavy records, a fiver well spent !

Ah, but I'd been trying to get hold of "The Sound Of The Suburbs" for ages without avail, so it ended up as being the only one of two albums I actually had on CD-R because I couldn't track down originals of. Thanks to Dom who spotted it on re-release and at sale price too at HMV that was one CD-R which I now longer need. The other CD-R was "Martin" which I now have on vinyl too. :)

Silver Apples - Silver Apples/Contact (1968 VERY far out electronica - odd on first listen, but one hell of a grower)
Sing Sing Death House - The Distillers
Black cherry - Goldfrapp (this is assuming 101cd EVER get off their arses and deliver the bloody things!

Vinyl:
Cranked up really high (7inch) - Slaughter and the dogs
(can't remember!) - Doctor and the crippens
Their last live gig - Electro Hippies
Peel Sessions - Electro Hippies
Girls girls girls - Motley Crew (he he he!)
