Full Moon Fever is a fantastic album. CDs were still a fairly new thing and at the end of track 5 (Running Down A Dream) Tom talks about this is where you would normally turn the record over or something along those lines! And guess what track 6 is? This brilliant song... Prefer the original but a cracking cover.
Great idea that, what is everyone else's first record purchase? I honestly can't remember mine... probably Beatles or Eddie Cochran. Or maybe Elvis Costello's brilliant album, Armed Forces...
It's an odd thing but I never bought a single in my life! Only bought albums. I only ever owned ONE single! My Sister bought me Walking On The Moon by The Police. I don't know why though, I wasn't crazy about them, though I did like that single (and a few of their others).
I used to go to town with my nan on Saterday as a nipper, and bought my first single from Woolworths in high st .
Bought two the same day as I recall.... Jethro Tull...Living In The Past Chicken Shack...I'd rather Go Blind
When at Gorseinon college, used to go down into the town to the record shop. Fella knew I like my records and as it was one of the Gallop shops for the top 40, they got loads of coloured and picture disc vinyl. The owner used to let me have first dibs, so got loads of picture disc’s.
