Non-Stop 80s Love: My CD Haul (Part 1)

CDs have always been the pinnacle for me when it comes to gradually becoming a full on 80s collector. I've been buying them for over 5 years now, whether they were new or well loved before I purchased them (second hand). In the beginning, I had most of them passed down by parents or family members, who didn't see any need for them anymore or thought I would like them if I ever expressed interest when they were around.

They all came from a variety of places, HMV, Amazon, MusicMagpie, Ebay, everywhere. Never would I ever buy from Discogs, only in the direst of straits, they're far too expensive! The cheapest one I got so far was 1p, (with the catch of £2.80 delivery) and the dearest I got was Black Sabbath's Headless Cross (1989) for £20, but understandably it was quite rare and failed to chart, so it was worth every penny when it arrived. Some excellent tracks on there!

In storage right now I probably have over 100, but there's absolutely loads lurking in every corner of the house, and maybe some that I forgot about too! Most of them are indeed from the 1980's period, some 70s, some 90s, some post 2000, and the tiny little remainder are from the 1960s. A variety of genres too: electronica, rock, metal, alternative, pop, synthpop, Indie, you name it! My recent post explaining what was coming this month stated that I was gonna be doing some more haul posts, and this was just going to be one of them! As I've got so many recently, I'll be splitting it up into multiple posts, I've planned to do 3, but I'll see how it goes.

So with all that being said, here's part one of my CD haul!

1. Duran Duran - Arena (1984)
