no but i do have an Everton one from the same year and...
a Grimsby Town one Oh the shame of it all

Me scruffy and faded? Nope.

Sir Mort- is the Everton one "HEre We Go"?

yep the official 1985 team record

Am i not the only one here to own such a 'masterpiece'?

You are the only one.

I do, however, have the 1995 record, a cover of the Farm's All Together Now...

Oh thats much worse, feel better now!

* decides to keep quiet about her Alvin Stardust records...*

*keeps quiet about owning Leo Sayer's "Moonlighting" despite being born six years after it was released*

the glory of second hand record shops...

(Moonlighting cost me a whopping 25p, y'know!)

I used to frequent a great second hand shop in glasgows west end and doubled my record collection - £1 an album. I confess to buying lots of 80's pop!

Cd's are just not the same...

I quite agree that CDs really aren't the same.

In another sign of my corkinginly good taste () I have Meat Loaf';s bat out of hell on nice shiny CD, and also a 25 yearold second hand LP I got for £2 from a shop which was closing down, and The LP just sounds more....real, somehow. hard to describe.

I guess we are the reason those School Disco type albums are so popular

*holds up hand*

I confess I have at least 3 of them, my daughter laughs when I play them (this comes from a child who is an S Club-Steps-Gareth Gates fan), I admit to making her watch the 80's days on VH-1 she looks at me then looks at the big hair and dodgy clothes and laughs even more, I did catch her trying to dance to Toni Basil's Mickey then it was my turn to laugh

oh mickey what a pity you don't understand
you take me by the heart when you take me by the hand

Hello officer. atste police, you say?
I request that four Billy Joel albums, the 7" of "the joker" by the steve miller band and the "stutter rap" by morris minor and the majors are taken into account.

Ok officer slap the s on

Yes something went wrong somewhere, serves me right for talking and typing at the same time

*back at the taste police statiopn interview room*

Officer: So, Mr. Egon, we have a list of your previous offences.

Egon: Look, officer, i already admitted to the Billy Joel, Morris Minor and the Majors, leo Sayer, Everton FC and the steve miller band. what else do you want from me.

Officer: We have reports that you were spotted in Tescos, Sunderland, buying the tATu album

Egon: er, er, it was free if you bought three bags of prawns!

Officer: don't lie to me, you scum!

Egon: no, sorry officer, sorry.

*Egon makes a break for it.*

What's wrong with Jools Holland I've got 4 of his albums and I've seen him in concert, but my ex husband admitted to going to see Frankie Goes To Hollywood in concert

oh, I love jools holland, I just often get greeted with raised eyebrows if I mention him in polite society.

Haven't got me hands on Small World, Big Band Vol. 2 yet, though...
