Just thought I'd start a thread ;) Everyone looks at the cutout bins in various stores, I'm sure. So what have you all found which totally blew you away? That is, did you ever find something really rare or just something really good, for an obsenely low price? My examples: I found Dreamfish for nine bucks, Young American Primitive for eight, Ravesignal III for three, Dubnobass... for six, and the kicker....Analogue Bubblebath 3 for ten! ------------------------------------------------------------ | Bob Weisend | "I'm not an actor, | | rweisend@oboe.aix.calpoly.edu | but I play one | | http://www.calpoly.edu/~rweisend | on TV." | ------------------------------------------------------------

i could go on forever here (i am the undisputed KING of cd bargains);) but i'll give the two most recent: Sun Electric 'Kitchen' and Scanner 'Mass Observation' for $5 apiece. eat it and weep. ;)

Hmmmm...well....I *did* find the first Prodigy Album for $3, which is about $2.10 Yankee, and $1.70 brit. And yes, even the Prodigy sounds good for $3. Tosh --

I found Philosophy of Sound and Machine in a Tower clearance bin for less than $10. I know that's not REAL cheap but I hear they are going for beaucoup bucks these days. I know Suzanne Heinrichs (LURKER!!!) found one at the Tower Clearance store in Manhattan too! HA and NY'ers thought they were so on the ball... -robert ______________________________________________*AudioElectronic*_____ Sampling the 808 is like shooting an animal sonic explorers \ and hanging its stuffed head \ in your livingroom! - (mw) __\

You won't believe what I got used (and real cheap): OM-Instant Enlightenment $2 The Orb-Aubrey Mixes (original) $6 Aphex Twin-AB#3 $10 (somebody on alt.rave sold it to me!!) Give Peace a Dance, Vol. I $12 Hardkiss-Delusions of Grandeur-$10, a week after it came out FSOL-Cascade $3 Juno Reactor-Luciana $4 50 years of sunshine $15 (just what was this joker expecting anyway?) Like my friends and I have always said, "If you think you'll never find something, just wait because some stupid idiot is going to buy something totally kickass and hate and want to get rid of it, and some terrible used disc store is not going to know what they're buying back, and no one else who shops there will have a clue what it is." Thank God for stupid people is what I say. Mistress of Genius

Still, one of the best things you can buy for 3 bucks, especially if you're a fan of the KLF> Mistress of Mass Distribution

I got one of these for 99 cents! Tony

I was in London a couple of months ago, and as usual, I shopped till I dropped. Anyway, at this little shop in Camden Town next to the Goodmixers pub, I found an autographed copy of Gary Numan's Beserker LP for 50p!!! I had seen autographed copies of Numan records throughout my shopping for moderate prices, but 50p? The store owner didn't seem to mind giving it away so cheap. +++++++ John A. jknee@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu Rickman +++++++

A worn and somewhat crackly copy of the F.U.S.E. "Approach and Identify" 12" for $1.50 U.S. a few weeks ago. Kind of a silly thread though isn't it?

Beat this one! I bought a Conrad Schnitler album (Con) on vinyl for 25 cents! Joe Babylon r/e/a/l/m/ & Plug Research

Oops! I missed the "z" in Schnitzler. Oh well, you got the picture.

I just walked into this shop once and they had the bins all sorted out into stuff that I really wanted and had been searching for for years, stuff that I'd eagerly anticipated listening to, and stuff they knew I'd never heard of but would be interested in. They rolled out a red carpet and lead me to the cleanest sounding hi-fi ever and let me listen to all the records, bringing me the odd caviar nibble and glass of bubbly. Occasionally, when I tired, they chopped out a line for me and wiped the crud from my nostrils. They chauffeured me home where, to my delight, they'd built an extension to hold my new records. They charged me nothing for this. And apologised for the inconvenience. Carl

I thought 29p for the cassette single of Orbital's "Are we here" was pretty good value, for playing in the car. J ^

Got it at Gramophone Records in Chicago. Don't have the number handy though. You know what also just came out and just kills, Transmissions from Planet Dog. It's domestic on Mammoth. Double disc for 14 bucks! It's got 4 songs by Banco de Gaia, 4 by Eat Static, 5 by timeshard and 3 by children of the bong. Wowsy! I also saw a new disc by somebody on R&S/Apollo records. I think it's called "Uvead (place other word here)" I think the last word is 6 letters long. It's got a bright pink and blue cover and it's done by somebody relatively well-known. Anybody have a clue?

Probably Uzect Plaush's _More Beautiful Human Life_ by German ambient maestro Paul Schutze. Check out that pre-Aphexual anagramming! :) - Matthew "I grew up thinking that techno music is actually something that you can't imagine. That is techno at its best. If you hear something that you'd never expect to hear - that's techno. If you hear something that kind of sounds like you've heard it before, then it's not techno." - Jeff Mills

Hmmm, I've scanned those Bargain Bin discs in Media Play, and I've never seen any idm/ambient titles there whatsoever. ____________________________________________________________________________ Paul Rafanello ambience@delphi.com "We learn to love and when we learn to give." ____________________________________________________________________________

Caberet Voltaire: _Easy Life_ 12" on Parlophone with "Easy Life" (Jive Turkey Mix - Mark Brydon and Rob [God] Gordon) "Fluid" "Postive ID" The best 3 techno tracks *ever* produced(?). For 99p. From an open air record fair. The irony was that the guy thought he knew it all and was charging 10 quid for a semi knackered Pacman: _Powerpill_. I thought that was a bargain too... greg The Official WARP Web Site 3 0 3 I S B R O K E N

Maybe not the greatest deal, but I was quite happy to pick up X-102 (The Rings of Saturn) and X-103 (Atlantis) by Jeff Mills on CD for US$9 apiece last weekend, in a store which usually has an incredibly sucky selection...
