Think back, back, back all those many years ago when we had 45's & LPs and record players.

Back, back? You been in a record store recently? Take Piccadilly Records in Manchester (UK), which is now mostly vinyl. Even in the mainstream bands are releasing their album on vinyl as well as CD these days. Our records of the year are Love Letters by Metronomy and LP1 by FKA Twiggs - naturally we have both the CD and the vinyl versions for our in-car & domestic pleasure. The covers are nicer on vinyl too! The new David Bowie single comes in a nice 10" edition with unique extras...

Anyhoo, my first LP was Gorilla by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. I got it with a token for Xmas 67 when I was 6. Still a great favourite, though sadly my original is long gone...
