I went to a Record and CD Fair yesterday at the Brighton Centre and despite being stung for the parking (50p for every 15 minutes - or maybe I'm just tight?) it was a great way to spend a few hours. I'm somewhat of a regular to the fair and this one probably put me in to double figures of events attended, it was fitting therefore that it also saw perhaps my most successful return of CD's. I picked up the following albums for a total expenditure of just under £70:

• ABC - Lexicon of Love
  
• Beulah - The Coast Is Never Clear
  
• Bjork - Debut
  
• Boo Radleys - C'mon Kids
  
• Chris Mills - The Wall to Wall Sessions
  
• Deadstring Brothers - Starving Winter Report
  
• Dinosaur Jr. - Bug
  
• Gomez - Liquid Skin
  
• Grandaddy - Under The Western Freeway
  
• Jim White - No Such Place
  
• Louis XIV - The Best Little Secrets Are Kept
  
• Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
  
• Meat Puppets - Huevos
  
• Meat Puppets - Live in Montana
  
• Morrissey - Suedehead (Best Of)
  
• Neil Young - Harvest Moon
  
• Primal Scream - Screamadelica
  
• Primal Scream - Vanishing Point
  
• R.E.M - Monster
  
• Songdog - The Time of Summer Lightning
  
• South San Gabriel - The Carlton Chronicles
  
• Strays Don't Sleep - Strays Don't Sleep (2 disc)
  
• Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque

A few (Beulah, Chris Mills, Songdog) were down to hearing the odd track on samplers and compilations, a few down to recommendations from friends (ABC, Dinosaur Jr., Grandaddy, Louis XIV, South San Gabriel) and the rest based upon my own tastes. Evidently I already had Liquid Skin though; I thought I only owned Bring It On. Bah.

I may well post short reviews of the albums as I come to listen to them.
