You're in that soon to be (maybe) foreign country, whereas I'm in the middle of England, so I bet you are used to bad winters and snow, but in my area when you got/get a foot of snow you damned well remember it as it's so rare. That's why the Jon & Vangelis song and the month January 1982 and the freeze all go together.

Then again - back then, Smash Hits was acceptable for both sexes to buy.

Good that someone has still got a Vinyl collection, in them days you could not buy music in secret like you do now, ie not letting shop staff know what you are buying.

Bucks Fizz are coming up soon on here, but much later, in 1997, I bought their greatest hits CD for about £6 and felt a bit sheepish doing so as a twentysomething male, and am sure I got a look of disdain when I handed it over the counter at Our Price. But they are damned good. I feel no shame. |

Who has ever been embarrassed buying music in a record shop and handing it to the assistant?

Caught a TOTP'S on Youtube a couple of nights ago. May 1982. Sorry I don't have the link to hand but it had Elton John singing 'Blue Eyes' live.

I cannot believe that you bought Rolf & St.Winifred's singles years after they were hits. How extensive is your No1 collection? |

Wonderful. Was that around this point in time, or later?
You lucky so and so. I bet she was no disappointment. She still sounded so sweet recently on Sounds Of The 80's.

One of my fave Elton songs. I'm really annoyed that his brilliant recent single that I bought, Voyeur, hasn't been a massive hit.

How did I miss that? Not aware of 'Voyeur'. I'll have to check it out. Love Elton. Got into him around 1987 and had a spending spree at my local record shop and bought most of his 1970's albums. 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' is probably my fave.

It's from his current album The Diving Board. He sang it on the Graham Norton show too, but clearly even doing songs on a popular TV show on BBC1 can't shift the copies nowadays, which is troubling. I wish that would apply to ITV and their trashy karaoke show.
It was nice to see him have 2 songs 'Part Time Love' and 'Song For Guy' in the chart at the same time in the re-runs. |

Of course..'Diving Board'. That did really well for Elton.
It was nice to see him have 2 songs 'Part Time Love' and 'Song For Guy' in the chart at the same time in the re-runs. Such a contrast between the two singles. Part Time Love was a real fun performance and Elton looked quite good, whereas Song For Guy is extremely melancholy and the look wasn't too good. |
