The Tolkien Coming of Age Club 2

[The Saucepan Man]

The wealth of Moria was not in CD-ROMs and DVDs, the toys of the Dwarves; nor in CDs, their servants. Such things they found here, it is true, especially CDs; but they did not need to delve for them: all things that they desired they could obtain in HMV. For here alone in the world were found Moria-albums, or true albums as some have called them: vinyl is the Elvish name. The Dwarves have a name which they do not tell. Rare labels were worth ten times that of CDs, and now they are beyond price; for little is left in record collections, and even the Orcs dare not shop for them here.
