Fopp Sale

[SockMonkey]

No, that's what I DIDN'T buy!   

Oh no, you've made me want to go back and get the Belle Stars one now.

[Rhombus]

Wait... they're £5 and DualDisc? I think I feel another trip to Fopp coming on.

Yes, they are.  5.1 Surround mixes on the DVD side, and relevant videos to the album if there are any (some on Homogenic, but none on SelmaSongs or Drawing Restraint 9)

Get down there sharpish though, they had a few SelmaSongs, but only one each of the others.  (You are the one who lives in the same city as me, aren't you?)

Cambridge?

I love Cambridge. It's so good for shops.

Shame as I think they are really underrated and they wrote some great songs. People only seem to remember them for the cover versions and 'Sign Of The Times'. Some of their earlier ska tracks were easily as good as the male competition at the time. I loved the lyrics to 'Miss World' (a rather good ska/reggae track) which challenged the shallow life style of the beauty queen. Anyway well worth getting for the extended mixes of 'Sign Of The Times', 'The Entertainer', '80's Romance', 'Sweet Memory' and  'Sun, Sun, Sun'..... sorry I am a bit of a Belle Stars saddo

You're not the one who lives in the same city as me then!  Haha.

I'm the Cambridge boy - what bargains am I missing in Fopp?

SO MANY. Fopp is amazing, the cheap CDs at the front of the shop are so good for getting rid of any change you have. At least that's what I do...erghhhhh.

[backstreetjoe]

I usually go to Fopp at least one a month but haven't made it for a few months now. Will need to make a trip to buy books, dvds etc for christmas stocking fillers for people. Want the CD/DVD version of Fever Ray too.

[SockMonkey]

Want the CD/DVD version of Fever Ray too.

I'd order that online where it's about £8.99 (HMV/Play).   It'll be more instore at Fopp.

[backstreetjoe]

Cheers. I might do that. I still get the thrill out of buying a great load of CDs etc in store at Fopp - worth the few extra quid to me!

Dunno about the DVD version, but the Fever Ray CD is a fiver at the moment. Almost bought it and Major Lazer the other day.

P.S. I'll join the Cambridge fan club. I never want to go home.

DJ Tiesto - In Search of Sunrise 3 (Panama) - £3.

Not bad, seems to be around £9 new online.

books galore at the weekend.....load of armistead maupin, jay mcinerney, james frey for £2 each

[maskedman]

I love the Nottingham Fopp - it's the one place where I really enjoy browsing for CDs.  There's usually something good there at dreamily low prices.  From my last visit:

Euros Childs - Chops £3
Barry Adamson - Moss Side Story £3
Eurythmics - We Too Are One (with bonus tracks) £3
Dilated Peoples - Neighborhood Watch £3
Duran Duran - self-titled £5
Within Temptation - Black Symphony (double CD) £8
Ladytron - Velocifero £5

Great stuff - I'll be back there at the weekend!

[backstreetjoe]

some good DVDs but nothing exciting - Junebug DVD for £2, Wonder Boys DVD for £3, Napoleon Dynamite 2 disc DVD for £4, The Savages for £3 - that was it - couldn't find a single CD to buy!

Eee, I'm from Cambridge too (Oh how I love coming home from uni in Liecester) I haven't been to Fopp for ages, I will certainly have to check it out.
