My mum had Barbara Striesand, Dionne Warwick and Barry Manilow, which i made her play constantly, but my brother bought me alot of my albums to begin with, Blondies "Eat to the Beat" was a birthday pressie, and one of my oldest school friends bought me my very first 12" record Culture Clubs "Do You want to Hurt me" for my birthday too. My dad has still got the old music centre up in his loft, and i am hoping to get it down one day, and show my children how great it was to listen to the crackle at the start of a record.

His best was an album with the Great Western Film Themes…….

As I got older, and able to buy my own singles, New Wave, SKA and Punk were to the fore…XTC, Blondie, Roxy Music, SPARKS, X-Ray Spex, The Specials, Bad Manners Ian Dury and of course my beloved Level 42 settled the mix with some Jazz Funk…

I really only got back into the 80's when I discovered a shop selling all the old vinyl….I've never looked back.

Be interesting to hear how other people came to like various types of music.
