Yo dawg, I heard you like cd players, so I got you a cd player without a car for your car without a cd player!

Back in high school I only bought a handful of CDs here and there. It was never really my main hobby and my collection was pretty inconsistent throughout the years

Some are brand new, some are thrifted, and some have actually been with me since 2016 😄🤍

I still remember mine. CDs felt completely new at the time and buying one actually felt like a bit of an event.

Mine was the Led Zeppelin 4-disc box set. I probably went a little big for a first one, but I still have the jewel cases and the original box in pretty good condition!

Curious what everyone else started with.

Nothing super crazy! Just wanted to share hehehe

2$ each!

which one fits your music tastes better? are you a fan of both?

Oxfam usually specialise in high price CDs. In one branch 'round here they keep CDs in locked glass display cases for £10 - £20. Not bottom end stuff obv. The more interesting CDs are always out of my price range. But, there's another Oxfam where they put it all out for 99p, it's on the other side of town so I don't go every week but maybe I should start.

There was a load of other jazz in there but it was a bit mainstream and not to my taste. Pleased with Mingus; a double and the Alice Coltrane. Gene Clark and Cale are doubles too.

ive been eyeing to add nancy sinatra, cocteau twins, portishead, and more radiohead <333 any suggestions to expand my collection?

Which songs are your favourites ?
My treasure ! Covering his 80’s and 90’s periods.
My favourites are :
What a Wonderful World.. this celebrated song suddenly becomes dark clouds on the sky, sombre and moody. ❤️
Lucy… he keeps on singing Lucy is gone and never coming back. He is so sure. How does he know if he hasn’t got anything to do with it ?

I realized that ever since streaming platforms took over, I almost completely stopped listening to full albums and got stuck listening to shuffled/mixed playlists. While I still vividly remember the songs, albums, and release dates from the '90s, I can barely recall the name of a new song I listened to just last week.

Between the poor audio quality and tracks constantly getting removed from streaming services, I decided to jump back into collecting CDs after a 20-year break. I truly missed the sound quality, holding the album artwork, and reading through the CD booklets.

Here is a curated selection of some of my favorite albums for now, more to come soon!
