In uk.rec.motorcycles, darsy amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: [QUOTE] no, really - never bought an Abba record in my life.[/QUOTE] I believe you. [QUOTE] See, I owned about 15-20 LPs (most of which cast-offs from a cousin) before I got around to buying singles, so it's the albums I remember most.[/QUOTE] I used to buy a mix of about 50/50. Albums at the time were £4.99 in Wollies and a 7" single was 99p [QUOTE] I've had another think about it, and actually I bought Joy Division's "Transmission"[/QUOTE] I never bought any Joy division stuff but I did buy A Flock Of Seagulls' The More You Live, The More You Love and Wishing (I had a photograph of you) [QUOTE] before LWTUA. That would have been 1979, almost certainly the first single I bought (on 12", mind - I bought hardly any 7" singles).[/QUOTE] I had a few 12"s but I'm buggered if I can remember any of the early ones now, that's why I believe you about the ABBA. [QUOTE] I think I still have it somewhere.[/QUOTE] Dig it out, I'll have a listen. [QUOTE] I lost a bunch that I'd lent to a mate during the Unfortunate Indoor Barbeque Event of '97.[/QUOTE] Heh, the joys of the Unfortunate Indoor Barbeque.
