Church Book Sale

[Scott Baret]

I honestly had no expectations of finding anything worthwhile at the sale. I went with the hope of netting a biography or two but found nothing in the book section.

Then I spotted a huge pile of tapes. For a quarter each I snapped them up--six total (four were actually Christmas albums, but hey, July is right around the corner)

I checked out the rest of the sale. The very back had a kids section. And right on the end was Gizmos and Gadgets on CD. For fifty cents it was a bargain.

So for two dollars I got myself six tapes and a computer game. Easily over $100 in 1995. Plus I picked up that Depeche Mode Best Of CD I wanted today (new for $16) so it was money well spent for entertainment. (Heck, I could barely get two movie tickets for what I paid for all of that today).

Was that a CD-single?

No, it's actually a compilation of singles. The date on it is 2006 and it's got 18 tracks ranging in age from "Just Can't Get Enough" to "Martyr". The cover has a big white rose on the front and the liner notes give a brief history of the band and their songs. Most of the big hits are on this one (the only one I see blatantly omitted was "Policy of Truth").

They say it's Volume I but I don't think a Volume II has been released yet. Definitely a worthwhile CD.
