EdnaKrabappe Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I used to buy pop ex singles when I was very small from our local shop Dels. Random choices - I'd often buy a single by a group I'd heard of or just because I liked the name. I remember buying 'Will a little more love?' by Olivia Newton John and 'Banana Republic' by Boomtown Rats. My first proper record shop experience with my own pocket money was to buy 'Annie I'm not your Daddy Kid Creole and the Coconuts' in 1982 -Picture disc and everything from Circles in Rotherham - as I was already 'djing' at my local youth club on a Thursday night with a very limited but obscure collection, I vowed to buy a single a week and did until 1986 when I got wise that albums were generally better value. Albums were for Christmases and birthdays - first one I remember asking for - except Sally and Jake, the Wombles and the terrible Top of the Pops records -was Parallel lines by Blondie(Cool kid for seven!). Played it to death and I still love it. I think I bought one with my own money called Raiders of the Pop Charts~(an early Now album!) around 81/82 as it had Fat Larry's band Zoom on it. Once I started I couldn't stop and I still spend faaaarrrr too much money on music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
