What music did you buy today?

[Stompin at the Savoy]

This arrived today.  I'm enjoying it. The box, CD sleeves and the book are cheap, underwhelming, and printed in tiny type but whatever, the music is great.

Me too now. I had no idea about that, thanks for highlighting.

I've just found they're performing the scores in March

How do you find the DG bargain bins online?

There's not a literal bargain bin.  The deals are mixed in with all the other stuff.

OTOH, you could sort by price to see the best deals.

 I was speaking figuratively. Their algorithm recommended a bunch of Delmarks (and variants) at $0.99 through $3.99. Selected one and then piggybacked more algo recommendations plus one that was on my watch list.

They do have clickable links for "Sale Items", "CD Deals" and "LP Deals" now. Scroll down a DG page and look under "Special Offers" in the left column. Warning: you can spend a lot of time and/or $...I guess that's why the sobriquet "The Bastards". 😁

Looks like they've recently modified the site a bit...IIRC the CD link used to be something like "CDs $8.99 or less".

For instance:

CD Deals (new/used, sorted ascending by price)

LP Deals (ditto)

Ok, I was wondering because the physical store has a literal "Bargain Basement". Literally some cut rate stuff that is literally in the basement. At least it did when my daughter was there last time. We shopped via videochat.

It's sort of an Island Of Misfit Toys and has never been listed on the website that I know of. Still isn't!
