TOP THIRTY CHARITY SHOP FINDS
6 Commotion Upstairs : EP
Usually I heap praise on my local PDSA when it comes to unearthing an unexpected gem but this time let me congratulate the British Heart Foundation. Rarely do they entertain the noble 7", if they do it's usually three or four they've chucked in with the 12"'s. On this day though the stunted cousin of the 12" had its own little box tucked away beneath a panoply of skirts. Commotion Upstairs was at the very front bearing a little red sticker with 50p scrawled on it. Obsequiously it winked at me, begging me to whisk it away from the dull company it was forced to consort with. Tiring no doubt of the incessant chatter of women sifting through A-line skirts it was anxious to be liberated. I felt the price was right and scooped it up. My insouciant attitude to thrift proved a benison as several months later a copy appeared on ebay and netted a lucky seller £102.

WHAT I LOST ON EBAY
It came down to a face off with old enemy Atichon for the one and only Relations LP. I pushed him gingerly above £35 then denied my rasher instincts and snapped shut the metaphorical wallet. I couldn't persuade myself to pay more.

EYE ON EBAY
It was a difficult moment watching Nobodies Home by Newsflash grasped by the greedy hands of old rival Picheux 89. Having nobody to extort money from and doubting that declaiming my Larkinesque poetry at the underground station would procure the necessary funds to compete in the ensuing struggle for this musical morsel I played the part of observer. No surprise to see this rarity generate a bulky £122.

WHAT I WON ON EBAY
At last I have the set. Having obtained Obscure Independent Classics volumes 2-5 over the years number 1 has not only eluded it me it's never even grinned teasingly at me. It made its debut on ebay and then who appeared? Gothic Darkwave of course, surfing on a tsunami wave of funds, a rogue, a rapscallion, a minion of the devil; possibly, or perhaps a timid soul festering in fruitless labour who carves a morsel of pleasure from the edifice of his drab life by snatching remote records from cyberspace. With a second to go I outbid....Nykobing, an old adversary. Mr.Darkwave did not stir from his Gormenghastian outhouse. Soon the famous Cordelia cat will be mewing at my letterbox.
