Splendid record! RIP Tina.Originally Posted by Alex_UK
Looks like I’m ending with another from 1984.
Tina Turner - Private Dancer
Another anecdote alert: about 11 or 12 years ago when Tamzin was 5 or 6 I introduced her to my vinyl albums, and for some reason she loved Tina Turner, and this one in particular. One morning she came running into the room “Daddy, Tina Turner’s cat is in our garden!” And it was! (Well if it wasn’t, I couldn’t tell the difference either.)

Good to know - what we don't need to know is what Amanda did with the Kendal Mint CakeI actually can’t time travel back to 1984 without including this one.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Junk Culture (1984)
This album holds a unique honour in my collection - it is the only one I have bought new in 3 different formats. Originally I bought it on cassette - possibly the only album I have ever bought when it came out on tape, for the sole reason that we were about to go on a school geography trip for a week to the Lake District.
Even then I couldn’t face the thought of a week without music! I couldn’t afford a Sony Walkman so made do with a Sansui knock off and bought this album. I also made some copies of other albums and compilations using my dad’s Ferguson sound system, so looking back I don’t know why I didn’t buy it on vinyl and copy it, but there you go.
I did subsequently acquire a vinyl copy, and then when I finally accepted CDs were “the future” this was one of the hundreds of albums that got an “upgrade”.
The school trip to the Lakes was fairly uneventful except I was the one who was picked to go into an off licence in Kendal to buy Woodpecker cider and fags as I looked one of the oldest of our motley crew of 15 year olds. Illicit goods were acquired without a hitch or question, and maybe my heroics was what attracted Amanda to me, who I subsequently “got off” with - but don’t worry, no baked beans or other canned goods were harmed in the making of that brief relationship!

Another disc I haven't played in a while. Nice one by Mrs Paul Simon.

Paul Simon's missus? I did not know that. Related trivia always welcome
Onto this next, probably should have gone into the jazz corner, it's one of those 'not sure what it is' albums.
