This is the Rolling Stones' 25th studio album set for release on July 10th and is the follow-up to their 2023 studio album, Hackney Diamonds. And like the former album, it features many guests, like Paul McCartney. Also expected to appear are Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John.

We will have a few limited copies to sell for the low price of $10.99

PAUL McCARTNEY RETURNS!

The Boys of Dungeon Lane is Paul's 20th studio album since leaving the Beatles in 1970. This new album follows his 2020 solo album, McCartney III, and comes after the compilation, Man On The Run (earlier in 2026).

We are not a retailer but managed to grab a few copies to sell at the reasonable price of $12.99 but ran out. We'll notify you when we get more.

Sealed and still in shrink wrap. If the case is broken, we will reduce the price accordingly.

Clean disc, clean case, clean inlay/cover. Also known as near mint condition.

Some surface marks on disc, or a bit of daily wear on the cases, or the inlay not perfect.

A not pretty CD, but still play. The case and/or the inlay cover are also not the best.

This is a poor quality CD that is not typical for us, but a historic or rare copy of a CD.

HANDLING OF CDs:

We clean every disc and case that comes in with marks, fingerprints and stuff. If it cannot be cleaned, or is broken or cracked too badly, the cases will be replaced. The pricing of CDs do include the cases, the covers, discs as one item. In the rare moment that we sell a poor or "acceptable" conditioned CD, it is only for the historic or availablity of the CD. Sometimes it's better to have some certain albums, no matter the condition, than to not have it at all. It's rare, but occasionally they do come across our desk. 

Every CD is placed in a clear vinyl sleeve, wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap and placed into a bubble wrap mailer. We send them out twice a day; first in the morning mail run before noon and the second run in the afternoon before 4 pm. Luckily, we are centrally located in the middle of the United States, so shipping is always going to be relatively quick. We always ship CDs out either the day of the purchase, or the next morning, except on Sundays and holiday.

NEW CDs AND NEW RELEASES:

Occasionally, we do end up with new and sealed CDs. For the most part, those are base priced at $7.99 no matter how old, classic, new it is. If the case is cracked or broken, but still sealed, we will lower the price accordingly. On occasion we will obtain the latest releases, but in limited quantity. Those will be priced at retail value due to the fact that they are new releases, but we do undercut most other retailers as far down as we can before we lose money on the CD.

HOW WE OBTAIN CDs:

We buy our CDs in bulk from online sales, estates, personal collections, etc. We obtain a lot of duplicates which will often be bundled up for sale as a lot. We do have a very small staff that will often buy and trade CDs, and grade them for sale, and in some cases their idea may differ from someone elses. But we do a three-point grading system. We inspect all CDs when they come in, clean them and replace cases or booklets and whatever, and then we grade them a second time when we snap their photo. Yes, we photograph every single CD, and then we grade a third time to make sure we got it right when we upload the listing on eBay. 

RULES FOR SHIPPING:

We ship anywhere in the United States for the standard USPS media fees; $4.47 per lbs, or roughly 3-4 CDs. International sales will require additional calculation, depending on where your CDs are going, however, with curent tariffs in place for overseas, shipping is stupid ridiculous. That will change soon. Just not soon enough. Purchasing a CD from overseas will require a calculation of shipping after your purchase. We apologize for this inconvenience, and we hate it, but it's the only way to give you the proper shipping and tariff costs and no one gets screwed (any more than we are already being).

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:

We guarantee everything we sell. After we grade CDs a third time, we are confident it is up to standard and we post the listing as accurate as possible. But if for some reason the CD has broken in the shipping process, or we failed to describe something as acurate as we say we do, or for whatever reason we deem acceptable, send us the CD back, postage paid by us, and we will grant you an unconditional full refund. We take pride in our CDs, but we are human, after all, and the mail carriers are not always as kind to our CDs as we are. So we fully backup everything we sell with a 30-Day guarantee.

LOCAL PICKUP:

If you purchase CDs online from us, local pickup is not available because we will still charge the shipping fees. In-store CDs are priced higher to balance out the shipping fees those that purchase online have to pay.

Tina Turner was one badass rock star. She literally came up from ashes to rule her world - and ours! This CD documents that badassery with all of the songs you know and loved from Tina's entire career - even with her former partner, Ike. All the hits are here, "Better Be Good To Me," "Proud Mary," "What's Love Got To Do With It," "Simply The Best," and tons more.

We have two copies of this massive CD set from Capitol Records. The sound quality is outstanding and the song selection is complete.

Who We Are.png

We are a small family-run business with a staff of music lovers and collectors that knows what it takes to be a satisfied music customer. We enjoy the process of buying and selling CDs and sharing our knowledge with the people that have come to know and trust us. This is our hobby and our pleasure.

Crescent Music Exchange sits atop the Ozarks in historic Eureka Springs in Northwest Arkansas; we come from a small town that is more about the music and the arts than anything else. We live closely among our dearest friends and neighbors who know something about music. Simply put, our business policy comes from this small-town setting with these people that makes us enjoy the work.
