Perhaps one of the best things about CDs is that, unlike DVDs, they don't use region codes. You can't buy a
Pokémon boxset off US Amazon and expect it to work in your lousy limey DVD player, but you can go to see a folk group in Ireland or a jazz trio in Japan or a country singer in Texas and you can buy their CD and you can take it home and show everyone.
Not that that's how I came to own
Consosci Victor Jara? by Daniele Sepe.
I actually bought a second-hand copy of this album from
The Record Shop in Cardiff back in 2012. I had never heard of Daniele Sepe before, but I decided that the eye-catching artwork was just too colourful to pass up, especially given that they were only asking 25p for it.
