I am the youngest of 3 boys. My brothers were 9 & 10 years older than me. I became aware and interested in what they were listening to when I was about 9-10 years old in about 1970-71. So I was influenced by their record collection and excited when they brought something new into the house. One was into rock and the other into choral music and lighter vocal pop. So my introduction into music ranged from Cream, The Who, Hendrix, Free through to Bach, Manhattan Transfer, Helen Reddy & early Elton John. I still love all of the above. After that, it was mates purchases as I didn’t listen to radio and only occasionally watched TOTPs (although Bowie performing Star Man had a huge impact on my musical and stylistic sensibilities). Watching Slade in Flame also massively influenced me and a mate to start a band.

That’s so you can get your big hands through at least one sleeve.

Thought some of you guys might like this.

No one complain how bigger it used to be back in the day?

I’ve PM’d you.

I’ll get in touch and let you know.

My mate services and repairs vintage hifi. He’s a proper geek with it. His shop is in Sherborne. Bit too far?

Oh dear. Anarchic threats with Eton accents 🤦🏻‍♂️

Came across this today. I remember seeing this performance as a 14 year old and being blown away, great musicians (I was in love with the singer too)
