Decent enough selection and a cheap price make this vinyl-only compilation (which features the likes of Scritti Politti, Pixies, Propaganda, and Bauhaus) quite appealing.

ZZ Top / Cinco No. 2: The Second Five LPs
Cinco No. 2: The Second Five LPs is a follow-up to last year’s ZZ Top box set, The First Five LPs box and features five albums recorded between 1979 and 1990, including Eliminator and Afterburner.
Paul Simon / The Remixes (CD and vinyl)
Possibly the worst idea EVER in the history of recorded music, Paul Simon has decided let a load of ‘modern’ remixes loose on his 1986 album Graceland. It sounds even worse than you can possibly imagine.
