Your favorite "cheap" CDs!

[whiplash1972]

Gotta add...

 

Mr. Hate - fragments

 

to the list of favorite cheap CDs! This one can usually be picked up on eBay for around $5, and it ROCKS!

 

If you're into straight ahead hard rock akin to Tesla,Dokken,Scorpions, Talon,Vicious Mary, etc.... grab yourself one of these the next time the opportunity presents itself; you won't be sorry!

Just remembered today that two of the best cheap(ish) purchases I made were Poison-Swallow this live & Joe Lynn Turner-Slam.

I picked both up fairly cheap (the Poison was second hand,but the JLT was new) and when I got them home I found they had been signed.

The JLT one was signed by Joe obviously & the Poison one was signed by Bret!

Something tells me the shops I bought them in hadnt actually realised they were signed items!

[Christine]

I recently picked up Shadow King (w/Lou Gramm and Viv Campbell) for $.69, Girl's "Sheer Greed" for $1.00, and Funny Money S/T for $2.50. I love a good bargain! (yeah, I know - typical girl! )

[Bubbasmama]

I love a good bargain! (yeah, I know - typical girl! )

Tell me about it!!!

 

After reading the comments on the site here.......and seeing that whiplash1972, and Blue Tequila had good things to say, I went looking for "Radio Active Cats" - S/T

 

 

Got it for 8 cents.

[Blue Charvel]

8 cents! Shit, that's a bargain even if it sucks.

[Christine]

8 cents??? Might as well be free!

[relivinthe80's]

Just got Salty Dog Every Dog Has Its Day for $6

[Bubbasmama]

8 cents! Shit, that's a bargain even if it sucks.

Pretty much what I thought!!!

 

But ya know what????? It DOESN'T!!!!!!!

 

Actually pretty good stuff!!!!

 

 

NOW.......I'm even happier!!!

[whiplash1972]

I think the Radio Active Cats is probably one of the better "el cheap-os" you can find out there...good bluesy rock n roll in the same vein as Great White,with a wicked cool neon green case(if you get it with an original case).

 

*Waiting on Flame - S/T to arrive....snagged it on eBay for 99 cents!

[Captain Howdy]

Well I've just snagged a copy of Lillian Axe-Love & war on ebay for £11 ($20) which is about a third of the price I've normally seen it go for here!

[SEYHEYKID]

Y&T EARTHSHAKER CD.BOUGHT IT FOR $5.00 WITH THE OBI STRIP INTACT.FOR ME ONE OF THE BEST FIND EVER.

[hsf]

I have to agree with bigswede; Blue Tears - Blue Tears for $1.99 was one of my greatest pickups ever, just for the music, let alone for the price. Another one, not related to this site was Sarah Brightman, La Luna. I got it for $5.99 when a record store was going out of business. SOOO glad I did.

[Bubbasmama]

Ok......these are NOT CDs.....they're cassettes.....but that's ok.....that's what I have in my truck.

 

I'm just tickled!! I got all these today for a QUARTER apiece!!

Kings Of The Sun - Full Frontal Attack

Great White - Once Bitten

Ok........I don't know about these, but I figured what the hell........

 

Arch Rival - Wake Up Your Mind

Sven Gali - What You Give

Still Rain - S/T

[hsf]

$.33! Can't beat it (with a stick, even!) Real hard, aggressive music. I was sort of getting a vibe, but want to give it another listen and see what it says to me.

[whiplash1972]

Listening to "Joey C. Jones and the Glory Hounds" right now, and I must say, for $4.99, this was quite a deal...songs are catchy as hell!

[Cruise]

Mama's Boys - Power and Passion (I can't believe what price this goes for!)

Coracko - New Virus Spreads (fantastic German hard rock)

[whiplash1972]

[jason (FA-Q)]

[whiplash1972]

Gotta add Soul Kitchen - S/t to the list of good cheapos!

 

Listened to this for the first time today, and really like it. Good, bluesy hard rock, with a touch of southern influence that should appeal to fans of the Black Crowes, Radioactive Cats, and blues-based hard rock in general....and for the 1-2 bucks that you can usually snag this for, hey, if you don't happen to like it...no biggie!

[Guest holyroller]

No one's updated this is awhile, but it's a cool topic. Story starts in December of 1990. The first CD I ever bought (I had about 200 cassettes at the point where I first got a CD player and set about the arduous but ultimately rewarding task of replacing all my tapes); and my first two CDs were Night Ranger's Big Life ($7.99) and Journey's Look Into The Future ($9.99). Other cool findings in the "less than $10" range:

Kansas - Power and In The Spirit Of Things

Baton Rouge - Shake Your Soul ($1.50! - replaced my other CD which I paid full price for but skipped - bought three of them and gave the others to buddies)

38 Special - Bone Against Steel

David Lee Roth - A Little Ain't Enough, Your Filthy Little Mouth

Twisted Sister - Under The Blade ($9.99 for the Secret Records version!)

Plus there are so many I got through Columbia House back when they used to actually have good stuff in their clearance sales.

Blue Murder - S/T

Europe - Out Of This World

Whitesnake - Snakebite, Saints An' Sinners, Live In The Heart Of The City

Y&T - Ten (four copies, spares, because it isn't possible to have too much Y&T)

Bad Company - Stories Told And Untold

Cheap Trick - Woke Up With A Monster

Lynyrd Skynyrd - 1991, The Last Rebel

Poison -Swallow This Live (must have had a surplus, this was 99 cents!)

This has nothing to do with cds but i was at a garage sale last week and picked up ten sealed copies of the first Shotgun Messiah vinyl album for a grand total of $5.00!!! The elderly lady selling them said her kid worked at Exclusive company 10-15 years ago and ended up with them. I also picked up a sealed vinyl of Dirty Blonde for $.50 . What a trip! Also ended up with a whole stack of cool old album flats. The lady was getting ready to throw them away.

BTW-Christine-you're one of the first females who've ever told me they wanted to go cd shopping with me. Usually they get pretty bored watching me sift through stack after stack of cds and vinyl. That's the best way to find the good stuff.

Tell me about it! My husband's patience runs thin after a while, as it does whenever I go shopping for ANYTHING... I could spend hours going through old boxes of vinyl and stacks of CD's - and I've definitely been known to!
