Similar to me Adrian, I turned 14 in Jan '72. My brother had got an old (even then) Philips reel to reel for Christmas, and we used to hang the microphone over the back of a dining chair in front of the telly speaker to record Top of the Pops.

The sound of our budgie chirping and the kitchen door creaking became an integral part of our less-than-pristine recordings of "Telegram Sam" and "California Man", and the absence of these sound artefacts on the shop-bought singles took some getting used to :) Happy days

A friend also did much the same, I graduation to cassette tapes in about 1971 I think on a small Pye portable.

Always liked CCR, had a few of their singles back in the day, Run through the Jungle being my favourite. I don't have this, but have a "Best of", and "Cosmo's Factory" which I'd recommend :)

Right now playing Melody Gardot "Worrisome Heart".

and just for you Steve...

Hee hee, I already have this on vinyl, so there :ner:

But it's a minty copy of "Love it to Death" I'm desperate for... I recently streamed it to check I wasn't just being nostalgic - turns out I wasn't, it still sounded great :)
