| GEMSMFAN Member since Jan 2013 3324 Points | it's a listing of the Target CD's (disc images) currently on 45worlds. Target CD's are quite collectible, since they were the earliest pressings and many of them were releases that were never reissued. Most were foreign pressings made for the U.S. market. Using a standard "list" doesn't allow me to show just the disc image, since the primary image is the CD booklet front. Anyway, the concept was simpler on 45cat, as you could post images simply by adding the image number vs. here where you have to go to "Link This Image" and then copy and paste the BBCode to the post. On 45cat, members would pick a topic like "Songs with Girls Names" and post every 45 label image based on the topic. Other members would add their "finds", on the same topic and post them also.

 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3774 Points Moderator | Some of those targets go for a fair whack too! ...never come across one yet, and the thought of opening up every jewel case I see on the copiously provisioned CD racks to find one is more than I can bear. It's kind of like the 78s... I know I ought to check them, in case there's a Presley or two tucked away in there, but having to wade through all the marching band stuff and reams of Classical (aside from what I'm looking for myself... I'd be in the shop all day!) is just too much. |

| GEMSMFAN Member since Jan 2013 3324 Points | Magic Marmalade: Elvis was on RCA, so no Target discs exist. The discs were on the WEA group labels only (Warner Bros., Elektra, Asylum, Atlantic, Sire, Geffen and Mirage) |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3774 Points Moderator | Yeah, I was drawing the parallel between the work involved in rooting through CD jewel cases and stacks of 78s... The reason is that I often think of the tons of "rare" stuff which may be sat in these racks/piles of 78s for decades waiting to be found that people are looking for, and which may not necessarily be my thing... it'd be nice to be able to help other collectors out that way... another pair of eyes looking in another stack of records. Obviously if I found a Presley 78 I'd be skipping all the way to an auction house, but it pleases me to think that a target CD or a record that some one particular person has been seeking a long time could find it's way to where it needs to be by my efforts... on the racks of a person who will care for it and love it. It pains me to pass by all those records/CDs that are treated like rubbish, and that are ignored and left to rot simply because they haven't been discovered by the right person, and I don't have the knowledge or time to sift through it all and know what I'm looking at. Perhaps we should organise a town sweep one day, where we all get together and link arms, and scour the charity store bins from one end of the town to the other.  |

Sparky and I do this every so often. We pop in at places the the Sally Anns, Goodwill, Bibles for Missions, etc. If we see a stack or 78s, no matter what it is, we buy. Its a bit pack-rat like, cause in some cases its total rubbish, but the goal is to document stuff. Plus at pennies a record in most cases, its no great expense. We'd much rather give them a home with proper care and feeding than see than get broken in the racks and tossed. Between that and all the funky clothes you find in charity shops we have a great time. Looking a for a uniform like that of the character of Sam Stuart (Honeysuckle Weeks) in Foyle's War. The quest goes on! Amy |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3774 Points Moderator | That's another benefit of charity shops and the like.... the noids at GCHQ can't track you anymore when you go in as a regular citizen, but energe as a clown, big shoes, whig 'n' nose with a stack of records under your arm! This last Friday, I went in one shop as a Roy Rogers, but came out as Shaft. (like Mr Ben (for our British members)). |
