Yes my Lord When I first started going from buying one 45 a week with my pocket money it was a big jump up to buying LP's at around £5 each. Oh and the amount of time it took in Record Shops , WHSmith , Boots and then HMV and Virgin Mega Stores . Sometimes I just brought a LP because the cover looked so great when I was up to date with Queen's latest release. I think I got albums by Yes , Genesis , Uriah Heap and I can remember taking ages over buying the first Kiss Alive LP because with all that make up on and platform shoes it just looked so exciting . Yes, I remember when I first had a proper job with proper wages, I'd travel up to Oxford Street in London and spend the day trawling though the huge HMV and Virgin Megastores. We had an Our Price Records locally and I used to spend loads of time in there, and also all the little independent record shops. I remember getting The Miracle CD earlier than the release date, as Woolworths had a pile of them on the counter and they let me buy one. I think I got it on the Friday before it was released on the Monday. Happy days! In the mid to late 90s I regularly visited record stores and record fairs in the Chicago area. On my first visit to a record fair in the mid 90s I spent over $200 on older Queen items and bootlegs. Nowadays I "miserly" spend much less on mp3 box sets, and occasionally downloading live concerts from Queenchat. |

Hell no I haven't gotten rid of my cds.
Keep in mind that my living space went to shit after a layoff and most are in storage. But I'm not parting with them unless I specifically bought something just to sell it.
Ps. BRENski.
Have you got a copy of STUART SAVES HIS FAMILY on DVD? I don't feel like forking out $20 on ebay for a copy and it's not in the library database
