I want to buy a lot of Mike’s back catalogue on CD (and no, I am not a bandwagon stan). Have loved him since I was a baby.

But as a girl on the cheap, I need to do this sensibly.

I went to HMV yesterday to do price comparison of ‘Bad’: Michael’s 1988 hit album ‘Bad’ was £6.99 in the HMV in Walthamstow, east London.

• On Amazon, it is £3.98, but bear in mind you have to spend over £5 to qualify for free Super Saver Delivery
• On Play.com, Bad is £3.99 WITH free delivery.

Verdict: Play.com is £3 cheaper than buying the CD in the shop. Having said that, it depends what you want. A reviewer on Play.com said that the edition of Bad they are selling has edited a lot of the songs on there, which is really annoying bc I don’t want another version of the CD.

What’s also bizarre for HMV is that you can also buy Bad online for £3.99 + free UK delivery, but you have to pay £7 in the shop.

Are they adding an extra £3 to buy it and have it immediately?
