Found this article today about the 50 most common used CD's. An interesting read. Very different than what you'd expect to find in the Real Groovy used bins.
Some of the ones I always see at Real Groovy in the 'used' bins are Zwan, the new Metallica album and Rubicon (surprise, surprise!)
Limp Bizkit must be on the way up there, if not there by now!?
What do you think are the most common 'used' CD's?
ie. Everyone bought them and a while later nobody wanted them anymore.

Michael Bolton is probably sitting in the CDs collections of people who love his music (and, er, good on them).
The kind of CDs that end up in used CD bins are usually the kind of CD that gets a lot of hype and media coverage, has one or two popular singles, but ends up with the rest of the CD not living up to the promise of the hype.
So if Michael Bolton puts out CDs filled with a solid amount of what he does best, then it's unlikely that people will be disappointed and want to get rid of it soon after they've bought it. Of course, there's always the "OMG, that's so uncool now, I'm getting rid of it" trip to Real Groovy that would explain the second hand Michael Bolton CDs.
By the way, the CD I got the most for at Real Groovy was the Tool CD "Aenima". I think they paid me $12 for it.

Your prolly the first whose come in to sell a TooL album - hence the good price :o)

i doubt that- & even if it is the 1st time it certainly won't be the last- altho i predict that in 10 years time rg won't buy any tool cd's- as everyone will have tried to cast theirs off- there'll be a massive surplus- & they won't be moving any units- i mean- just go & try to sell some richard clayderman to them

I think it depends on which record store you go to.
In true pitchfork style it is all about the wankery. Underhand comments entertaining sure but after the one millionth it is damn hard to take them seriously.
I think it is more interesting to cruise the sale tables and see who is selling for $20 or $15. Some very recent acts ending up in those piles these days. Crazy.
I don't think I've seen a used bin at Real Groovy though to be more to the point.

in particular there's this one Nana Mouskouri LP which is present (as far as i know) in EVERY second hand record store, op shop and thrift store i've ever set foot in (assuming they stock vinyl)
disasteradio knows the one i mean :) it was his discovery i originally i think

finding a copy of "Nana Mouskouri's 20 Golden Hits" whilst opshopifiying is truely a good omen.. hence I've had so many good experiences in such places. I've seen like.. 40 copies of it, easily.
Richard Clayderman's "Reveries" follows behind in a close second. the South Pacific soundtrack is -everywhere- too.

//Sebadoh: Harmacy
Huh? Doesn't that have Willing To Wait on it? Not a fave song of mine, but isn't it considered something of an indie classic?
//Curve: Come Clean
Chinese Burn wasn't too bad. But I guess if you had it on one of your Lagered CDs, you could do away with thin 'un.
//Jesus Jones: Doubt
"Right here, right now!" The former Export Gold themesong!
//Frente: Shape
Accidently Kelly Street is the musical equivalent of Equal.
//Brad: Shame
Aww, and I like 20th Century. The Day Brings from their second album was one of the greatest songs of the 90s.
//Veruca Salt: Eight Arms to Hold You
They were quite popular on the Rock in their day.
//Sundays: Blind
How long did it take them to follow up their brilliant debut?

Tennessee! I forgot all about that little gem.
//Belly: Star
Feed A Tree is the perfect summer song.
//Radiohead: Pablo Honey
Self-explanatory

There she goes, there she goes again.
//Breeders: Last Splash
Aww, c'mon!
//Lemonheads: Come on Feel the Lemonheads
hahahahaha!

Meh.

Hey Grusome have you heard Orange Crush and Turn You Inside Out off REM's Green album? Or Leave off New Adventures in Hi-Fi? I reckon you'd like those three if you like those two Monster tracks.
I'm forever seeing copies of Supergroove's Backspacer in the sale bin and NZ second hand sections of record shops.

Anyone read the Daniel Clowes comic that the line "What's the frequency Kenneth?" in it? That part of the comic is pretty ace, cos it's never explained why people ask the question or what answer they're expecting (if any). From memory the title's something about a velvet glove, but it's yonks since I read it. Good old gloomy "alternative" comic stuff. :P
