Charity Shop Trawl

[Barbirollians]

It would be interesting to know which of the charity shop bargains acquired by forumites were taken into said charity shop by other forumites, as per the other thread...

Well if whoever took that Barenboim Parsifal into the Aldeburgh hospice shop has the libretto ....

It’s the death of Physical Media...

... i think it's often the death of human beings. Those who inherit (the 'heirs and assigns' - I like the 18th century 'relicts') end up with the hoard of the deceased : no use for the younger generation, these physical CDs end up at the charidee shop...

Or in a skip - a friend of mine discovered two big carrier bags dumped in their skip for their building works and took them to the charity shop.

The charity shops of the charity I do work for are often overrun with CDs and they don't sell that quickly. Quite a lot, sadly, end up going to the skip - particularly the classical ones (surprise, not).

I think richardfinegold is right in general about physical media nowadays. There are a few of us oddbods who still like to spin discs (and cylinders) and spool-up tapes. I enjoy playing them but I'm anticipating joining the streaming crowd sometime this year as I downsize my record collection a bit.
