Music was becoming more and more important in my life. I was beginning to search out new music instead of just getting it from Top of the Pops and the Chart Show on Radio 1.

It came in a tin. It is simply amazing. A landmark in post-punk music.

I love Magazine. They were introduced to me by someone I briefly knew. I can't even remember his name, but he also introduced me to the Dead Kennedys before moving to another town.

Even the wrong bits are better than most others achieve.

This album has the best album cover ever. The music lives up to it as well. I can remember carrying this album around without a poly bag, just so that people could see me with it.

I used to have a C90 cassette with this album on one side and Dragnet on the other. I taped it from a mate and was devastated when it got chewed up in a cheap tape recorder.

I never went to see them when they played the Caird Hall in Dundee and I regret it.

I love embossed covers that need to be tilted into the light to see them properly. Talking Heads had a rhythm section to die for. Songs were kept tight allowing David Byrne to add whatever he felt was needed.

I love how this album's cover does not prepare you for what is inside.

This is a wonderful album with some great tracks. I really like the way the cover artwork was put together.
