April 2005 is music month for Oxfam in Cowley Road, Oxford. The shop will mark this partly by continuing to sell a range of CDs, tapes and vinyl (currently including a very rare album by John Lennon, Unfinished Music Volume 2 and a Tear Drop Explodes album signed by Julian Cope).
There will be a series of in-store events including buskers, special themed days and the sale of limited edition Beatles' prints signed by Paul McCartney.
I urge your readers to donate any unwanted items of music they might have to the Cowley Road shop, to help continue funding the essential work around the world, seeking to find lasting solutions to poverty and suffering, for example, after the recent tsunami in south east Asia.
Oxfam offers people the chance to find new and rare music at bargain prices while also helping those in the developing world.
An average CD sells for £4, enough to pay for 40 packets of rehydration salts used to treat diarrhoea.
