An admission.

[rhythmaning]

I have an admission to make. The very first single that I bought wasn’t an uber-cool record – say, the Velvet Underground or the Rolling Stones or the MC5 or something like that. It was Rolf Harris’ “Two Little Boys”.

I was nine at the time, and I asked my mother to buy it for me.

I only point this out because I have just learnt from the radio that Harris’ has rerecorded it for Armistice Day.

It still makes me sad!

(My first LP wasn’t very cool, either: ELP’s “Trilogy”, in 1973.)

It wasn't bought, but I had a green cassette with Regatta de Blanc on one side and Blondie's Parallel Lines on the other. I was nine and I loved it.

I saw Blondie play their first gigs in London - supporting Television at Hammersmith Odeon (1977, I think) - and later at the Roundhouse (1978, I guess).

By *smug*, presumably you mean *old* ;)
