Listen to a two hour vinyl-only mix from Music Is My Sanctuary

Party on a budget with Music Is My Sanctuary. The man behind the website and 24 Hours of Vinyl event series DJ Lexis drops a killer vinyl-only mix from records that all cost under £5 online.

Too often the culture of vinyl collecting focuses on the rarity and the dollar value of the record, rather than the simple enjoyment of the piece. For me talking dollars and cents when it comes to music has always been a turn off. There are just as many treasures sitting in dollar bins as there are on the shelves of the most exclusive vinyl dealers.

This a selection of a few of my favorite records that just happen to be very cheap. In my collection they hold the same value as any $100 record.
