Just wondering whether anyone else has sold or traded CDs they wish they'd kept? I've done it a few times and would feel a lot better if I wasn't the only one. I have to sell or trade some CDs to make space and money available for new ones, but on a few occasions have been too hasty and sold a CD without listening to it enough times. The ones I really wish I'd held onto are:

 

House of Lords - s/t (very rash decision, times were hard)

Joshua - Intense Defense

Tour de Force - World On Fire (there's no way an album with that many tracks can be consistently good ... oh, wait a minute...)

Rough Cutt - s/t (since replaced)

I have done the same thing. Here is my very small list, (Bangalore Choir's On Target and, Jagged Edge UK's Fuel For Your Soul.How I look at is, as long as I have the tunes I'm ok with it.

I sold Mason's 2nd album having not heard it for a while and having the totally wrong impression of what it was like. Listened to it before I packed it in the envelope and wanted to slice my throat.

Tuff Luck - S/T

 

Traded for Shake The Faith 'America the Violent'. I don't regret the trade since at the time they were both going for around $50-$60 on ebay and I love the STF and it has the OBI and everything but the original Tuff Luck is getting hard to find.

Is this "Inside your Head" ? You can get it very cheap on Amazon. I think I paid maybe $5 for it.

Saw a record at the record store and a c.d. came to mind that I regret..

 

Went to a store like 10 years ago (THE RECORD SETTER) and found GRACE SLICK-WELCOME TO THE WRECKING BALL c.d. It was for 5 or six dollars, but it was really scratched up. Someone got it before I came to my senses.. :doh:

Winters Reign - The Beginning - I bought it with the complete notion of selling it (it was still sealed and I never opened it) which was what I did, I hear it's excellent!! Darn it!

Really? Just did a quick check and it (one copy) is on Amazon for us$35 (plus the $100 to get it shipped to Australia) and there's 2 on ebay for about the same price. :(

 

I'm not sure I'd desperately seek it out again, but for $5 I'd pick it up again. :)

Not me, 'cause I've never let go of any CD. I do miss my Cherone - Need I Say More EP. I lent it to a friend. He had it in his car. He totalled his car. Car was towed. I never saw it again. :crying:

      Man, I really miss places like this! I could spend hours in them just looking at all the stuff. You’re a lucky man to live near there.

      New album out June 28. Not my style per se, but well executed IMO.

      JL Records (West Lafayette, Indiana) Revisited... (MANY PICTURES!)

      By heavyharmonies · Posted

      I posted about this record store (well, CD store really... it has a fair amount of vinyl, but the focus is CDs) 2 years ago. I go there about once a year, and every single time I do I keep kicking myself to go there more often. Not only for the sheer enjoyment of being able to shop the music genres we love and view all these releases in hand, but because it's so damned overwhelming. There's never time to go through things at leisure, pulling out boxes under racks to rummage, because even flying through things and NOT exploring new artists, it's still 3-4 hours to go through the alphabet... let alone stopping and using their listening station (they'll let you listen to used/opened material, not still sealed merch). It's only an hour and a half drive for me each way, so there's really ZERO excuse for me not going over there more frequently. This time I remembered to take a bunch of pictures, pulling out releases from artists we enjoy just to show what they had in stock... a lot of material you'll never see at any mainstream store (even if there is any that carry CDs anymore). Sure, the prices are more expensive than what you'll pay at Amazon and other online stores, but they're not as bad as you would think, and there are bargains to be had amongst the used material when it comes to OOP discs. And to be fair, being able to view all this stuff in-hand is worth it IMO. (Although every now and then you'll see an OOP disc that is WAAAAAAAY overpriced, but at least they have the odd and unusual.) They have one of those old-school "buyer club" stamp cards, with 20 spaces. One stamp per disc purchased. Every other stamp you get a dollar off, and when you fill a card you get $16.99 off your purchase and then you get a new card. On your birthday, you get $1 off every CD and that's on top of the buyer club card discounts. First the pics from when I was going through the aisles, starting with some general pics. Every single artist has its own title card, so look at the variety and depth of the artists. Also, look at the overstock in boxes underneath all the racks! That's the shit I never have time to go through (except when there's a specific artist I'm focusing in on). You've got CDs in the racks, then ringing the entire room is a shelf of box sets and limited editions, then above that VHS tapes, and above that vintage audio equipment. Sections for DVDs and blu-rays (not just music, but movies as well, including a small section of 4K and 3D titles). There's a smaller upper room level that is nothing but vinyl. If you're going to go, plan at least a full day, not just a quick drive-by. They're open from 11AM - 7PM Eastern Time.     Expensive at $249.99, but how many places have a still-sealed copy of the Vanden Plas Epic Works box set???     And now the stuff I picked up this trip. Most is completist fodder. There are a few artists where I literally want an example of every single pressing, even if I already have other label/year/country versions... call me OCD.               I picked up this one for trade/resale even though I already have it, as it is the LOOOONG out of print original fan club edition.     Hmmm... didn't know there was a solo effort, and it seems to be thematically related to the Threshold album "Legend of the Shires".       More OCD completist fodder. I didn't know that Avalon Records (Japan) licensed releases for South Korea.         Live albums aren't normally my thing, but this appears to be way out of print, and for $10 why not?   A few OOP releases for my multichannel audio collection       I'll be posting more about these once I get my shit together, but I'm WAAAAAAAAAY fucking late to the game when it comes to the Jethro Tull 40th anniversary CD + DVD special editions. They only reason I knew about them at all is that I saw a blurb about the 40th anniversary edition of "Broadsword and the Beast", which is my alltime favorite JT album, the first one I ever heard, and I love the album cover... which led me down the rabbithole of all these anniversary editions and their multichannel mixes. Unfortunately a few of them are now OOP and insanely in the $150-300 range. I ordered all of the ones that were still in print (or that had been reprinted), but there were still 4 that I needed... and they had one of them.   And lastly, the most expensive purchase of the day, going back to previous box set discussions, this was one that wasn't on my radar at the time it came out. Based upon eBay listings, it's now a tough find... and they had one still sealed. No, it's not the Amazon exclusive that was signed by Biff Byford, but autographs aren't important enough for me to spend the $500-$1,000 that the signed version now brings. This one will do nicely at a fraction of the cost... a huge and hefty tome (literally).   So when all was said and done, a great (and expensive!) shopping day, but a place I wholeheartedly recommend visiting should you find yourself out here in flyover country.
