Ha! That reminds me. The last CD I ever bought new was just before the turn of the century. It was a monty python double disk and appropriately named "the final ripoff"!
Well folks, I made it to 14 days without an Amazon purchase - but all good (bad?) things must come to an end. What tipped me over the edge? MIGHTY BABY - At A Point Between Fate And Destiny: Complete Recordings (6Cd Clamshell Boxset) | Amazon.com.au | Music Cost - $40.15 on Aust. Amazon. I have had sleepless nights waiting in anticipation to hear their 36 minute version of 'A Blanket In My Muesli'.
I now have a tracking number for the mythical supercheap King Crimson 19 CD box set - "On and Off The Road'', supplied by ShopAbroad. It was dispatched from Melbourne yesterday. What exactly turns up in my mailbox next week remains unclear!
VARIOUS ARTISTS - Bgp Presents Jazz Funk Various | Amazon.com.au | Music One of Beat Goes Public's better Jazz/Funk compilations, $10.19 for the CD
Various Smithsonian Anthology Of Hip Hop And Rap (9CD) $106.86 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B097FXRP8C/ Track and mastering info here: Smithsonian Anthology of Hip-Hop and Rap (2021, With Book, Slipcase, Box Set) Great collector's piece.
Actually thought about buying it, CDs one and two sound good but after that each CD gets worse - MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice!
Yeah, there are some discs that might not get much play, but it looks like a cool set.... Very tempted.
Thanks for these links, I ended up grabbing the Ashkenazy solo box after it dropped further to $95 today.
Various The Harry Smith B-Sides (4CD) $61.95 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08FD4JGYM/ "...contains the flip side of every 78-rpm record that Harry Smith included on the Anthology of American Folk Music..."
