The Who - Quadrophenia (£2.50): An absolute classic, and one that really ought to be heard on vinyl. Plus, it's worth a fair bit more than the price we paid...
Scott Walker - 3 (£2): This first-pressing of this Scott Walker record is a real find, and Walker's distinctive tones are still as haunting today as he did when the album was released in 1969.
Julee Cruise - 'Falling' (50p): The full Twin Peaks soundtrack would be one of the ultimate charity shop finds, but until that glorious day, the Julee Cruise hit from David Lynch's series is one of our favourite finds.
Love Unlimed - Under The Influence Of... (£1): Barry White's backing band have been neglected somewhat in music history, but this vocal trio (and orchestra) rival some of the best. The instrumental hit 'Love's Theme' is a thing of absolute beauty.
Elvis Presley - Something For Everyone (£1): A collection of Elvis' finest moments, Something For Everyone is a perfect introduction to one of the greatest names in music - and not a 'Hound Dog' to be heard.
Donna Summer - Love Trilogy (£1): The most ambitious collection of her career, 'Try Me I Know We Can Make It' is a collection of three tracks ('Try Me', 'I Know' and 'We Can Make It') which culminate in one disco epic.
Deep Purple - Fireball (£4): A true rock classic. Your dad will be green with envy (and nostalgia) at this one.
The Crusaders - Street Life (£2): Worth the two pound price tag for the 'Street Life' title track (featuring Randy Crawford) alone.
David Bowie - "Heroes" (£1): The pinnacle of Bowie's brilliance during his flawless late-70s Berlin period, I challenge you to find a better way to spend a quid.
The Cure - Head On The Door (£1.50): A true classic of goth-pop treasures that contains the timeless gems 'In Between Days', 'Close To Me' and 'Push', what the slowly disintegrating sleeve seems all the more fitting. Better than spending £1.50 on fish and chips, eh?
The Beatles - The Red Album and The Blue Album (£4): The best of the Beatles two very distinct periods of creativity - one encapsulating the more pop-tastic era of 1962%u20131966 and the other the experimental awesomeness of 1967-1970 (and they're Alan Partridge's favourite Beatles albums too). That's right, the finest tracks by one of the greatest bands of all time across four vinyl in wonderfully tattered sleeves for under a fiver.
JJ72 - Long Way South (50p): You remember JJ72, right? Suuure you do. You bloody should. They were Ireland's answer to Smashing Pumpkins and once threatened to ride the wave to stadium glory with Muse and Coldplay at the turn-of-the-Century. We're not sure what went wrong, but you can't fault this wonderful bubble of motorik-driven grunge-pop. Cracking single. What a find.
Manic Street Preachers - Faster/PCP (£2): The angry beating heart in the chest of the acerbic beast that is the magnum opus of The Holy Bible, you'd struggle to find a better example of a band in their prime than 'Faster'. The furious yet articulate pop-punk of 'PCP' is awesome too - not to mention the brilliant B-sides of 'Sculpture Of A Man' and 'New Art Riot'. It's much sought after by Manics fans, and fetches between £8 - £30 online. Pretty happy with this steal.
Oxide & Neutrino - Bound 4 Da Reload (Casualty) (£2): Arguing which came first - this or the Casualty theme tune is like arguing over the chicken and the egg. Stone cold garage classic.
The Eagles - Hotel California (£2.50): Some say they hate the Eagles. We think it's the guiltiest of pleasures.
Fatboy Slim - You've Come A Long Way Baby (£6):The seminal album by Norman Cook this album contains an abundance of brilliantly produced tracks.
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (£3): A contender for one of the best albums ever. It sounds even better on vinyl.
Prodigy - Fat of the Land (£5): The album that your mother hated, now it's vintage.
