In April it was my Mum, in May my darling Mrs. 17 Seconds and today it's my dad's Birthday. So happy birthday dad, here's some for you.
My Da's a legend, he's encouraged music-making and writing and has alsways been very encouraging of this blog.
For car trips -Abba 'The Winner Takes It All.'
...and Pet Shop Boys 'It's a sin'
For your university days Procul Harum 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale'
...and Animals 'House Of the Rising Sun'
And finally the track that got me into music originally: The Beatles' 'Hard Day's Night'
Have a good 'un, Da.

Best wishes, Ed's dad! mine would have been 78 this year. Many happy returns!
First Beatles album I bought...can you guess what it was?
...please NOT sgt. Pepper, the most over-rated thing in the entire cannon of music. Revolver is my favourite LP ever!
Yup, for £2.19 in Smiths. The Whie Album would be my choice, but it would be a boring world if we were all the same, wouldn't it? ;-))
BTW, sorry I haven't phoned you recently: what with changing my job I've had a lot on my plate, but I've got a long weekend coming up, so stand by the receiver!!
funnily enough, my first music purchases were from Smiths: Top Gun OST, Housemartins' Caravan of Love and Now 8 (the latter the only one I bought in the entire series). Oh 1986, such a long time ago. Smiths and woolies seemed to be fine for buying music in for a ten year old, I find them depressing now...
Woolies used to be great. You could get a bag full of 7" singles for 5p sometimes. They were mostly rubbish ones, but there was always at least one good one in there too.
I like the way that 7"s have come back in the last few years, not that I ever stopped buying them, but given the choice between 7" and CD single, I definitely still pick the 7".
