Lonely Planet Boy CD photographed on July 29, 2013
While I was out looking for a bargain on Hellmann's Mayonnaise, I decided to scope out the rapidly tanking, Newbury Comics outlet at the North Shore Mall in Peabody to find a cost-sensible movie on DVD. On my way to the cashier's I spotted the quintessential, Morrissey-approved 'Lonely Planet Boy' compilation issued on Sanctuary Records in 2004. I still have my copy from high school, and I must have received it for twice the price I had stumbled upon, here. I have to chuckle regarding the length of time clocked in, for this CD to crop up at any chain music store in suburban, farmville hoedown-fixated Massachusetts.
I was really surprised to see the drop in price on this CD. I can't say I know many people who still buy music on this particular format--I know it's a rare occasion when I do. When I saw this in the store, I figured that finding it would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but lo and behold there were two copies on display above the row of CD's in the store.
