I used to get 70p pocket money every week... 50p from me pappy and 20p from me mammy, plus if I washed the car I could earn an extra 50p. I didn't really eat sweets or crisps and I wasn't really into comics or magazines, so from the age of about 9, most of my money went on records!
(.....until I discovered cigarettes)
Bay City Rollers, tape sangalang..
the trousers, the scarf, the hair cut, the posters on the wall..had the lot
Or was it Donny Osmond, on tape ....Oh well it was one or the other for sure

My first album was a Top of the Pops compilation album in the late 70s, can't remember what songs were on it, just the diappointing realisation that the songs were all covers by session singers!
On the sleve there was a scantily dressed model, which my older brother and his friends stole off me......somethings never change.....hahaha
Second and third buys were Grease and Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, I think I bought most albums released in the early 80's, I still have lots of them, Synchronisity and Duran Duran being my faves.
