You know it's a great day when...

Awesome finds!

A friend of mine picked up a nice first pressing mono copy of Sgt Pepper with the pink inner sleeve for £7 at a charity shop whilst on holiday two years ago.

They also had a copy of the Beatles Collection of Oldies But Goldies for the same price. He felt a bit guilty about paying so little for them but sensibly he picked that one up too.

Anyone who’s read Nick Hornby’s brilliant High Fidelity will know of the scene where the narrator is invited round to meet a disgruntled ex wife who’s selling off her cheating husband’s rare and near priceless record collection for a stupidly low price and won’t take any more. After some agonising he refuses to take it, he just can’t do it.

I never did like that scene in the book. I always felt he should have took it because he would appreciate it and  because life’s too short to worry too much about how it got there. 

You surely got yourself a good deal, what a wonderful day. 

My first set of Heresys were the Heresy I in raw birch. My ex got them in the divorce. My second pair were also I's but in Walnut. I bought those used and sold them for the same price I paid.
Now I save for Cornwall IV's.
