One of my hobbies, is trying to collect cds and music from my youth. I figured that collecting cds would be the easiest to start with since. They are still readily available and still somewhat inexpensive. Once I fill my cd list, I’ll work on cassettes and the ln vinyl. However, that beings said, while I try to complete my cd collection, there have been several times I’ve gone to the great goodwill locations here in the Rochester area to get good quality cds only to find my hopes dashed because someone could not afford the stupid 1.99 price for said cd, so they resort to shoplifting. Now you do you- shoplift, don’t shoplift, I’m not your daddy. This wouldn’t be so bad, however they leave the jewel case on the shelf (WITH ARTWORK). It makes it all the more frustrating when it’s a cd on my “need” list. This list that I’ve been cultivating for a LONG time. I’m left with nothing that can be done but leave the empty husk of cd protection mechanisms on the shelf for whoever checks on the cds and add more to the shelf by the great store staff.
These are the stories of those that slipped away:
We will start this page off with Genesis’ 1973 Selling England by the Pound. Their Fifth album that I have been chasing after in order to get my Genesis discography completed. I get in there, about to thank my lucky stars, as this one has eluded me for a while, and checking to make sure (since returns are not accepted) and BOOM goes the dynamite.
