One to go

The White album is now the only Beatles Remastered cd missing in my collection.

A few days ago my lovely colleagues gave me an Amazon voucher to cheer me up and lo and behold, 5 bubble wrapped cd's found their way through the letterbox this morning.

With the Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, Beatles For Sale, Help and Yellow Submarine.

The space above the glove compartment is now a Beatles only zone.

I can't really remember when I first became aware of the fab four, it might have been when the films were shown on terrestrial television in the late 70's, or when my uncle gave me all his vinyl L.P's and singles.

All I know is I was instantly devoted to listening to them.

When I bought Rubber Soul a few months ago, the opening guitar riff from 'Drive My Car' pretty much took my breath away. I was astounded at the crystal clear sound, as if it were the first time I'd ever heard it.

Since then I have discovered whole instruments I didn't even know existed on 'Abbey Road'.

Treat yourself.

Don't you wonder what you should do with all those cd's?

Normally I'm not one for promoting rabid capitalism and all that, however as I am financially insecure and in order to have a bit of a clear out of dusty cd's, I found this site.

What began as simple curiosity, soon turned into a mini obsession.

A cardboard box was duly fetched from the cupboard under the stairs (yes I will have to find somewhere for the stuff that came out of it, stop nagging) and glasses put on in order to be able to see the microscopic numbers of each cd's barcode.

The company stipulate that cd's/dvd's/games must be in very good condition and without damage to the sleeve notes.

Prices varied from 30 pence for old unwanted cd's to £10 for a dvd box set.

A total of £200 worth was stuffed into the box, sealed and is awaiting collection, cheque clearing and then shopping...

The Beatles remastered aren't being sold at any price.
