Ep 404: Superlative Decay

It’s an old school episode of CheapShow this week as Eli has collated the “Silverman’s Platters” and Paul has crafted a “Price of Shite” challenge. There is plenty of tat to sift though and some of it happens to be a little bit techy. Eli will have to guess the cost of a charity shop sourced neck fan, a tinker’s magic set, a nifty little magnifying glass and a weird radio with a great big pair of ruby red lips on it! What do they do? You’ll be sorry you asked! Making things extra annoying for Eli is Paul’s need to brute force a new character into existence. Will this miserable sod become a new hit, or will Eli lose his temper quickly? When it’s time for Eli to show off his latest vinyl record discoveries, he’s grabbed two very odd ducks. The first is an utterly shocking charity single designed to raise money for the UK’s Children In Need charity. What makes it noteworthy is the fact it is sung by two actors from the British soap opera Eastenders! The second offering from the record box is an odd couple of tracks from the beloved Joe Tex. They are certainly… something! But will they be considered a “platter” or a “splatter”? You can find out by listening to Ep 404 of CheapShow!
