Music was so important to me at this time. Even when it had to compete with my football team getting to a European final! Concerts, vinyl, and more vinyl.

I used to play this album so much when I first met my wife. We used to cuddle up together listening to it on repeat. I used to have a cool record player that could play both sides of an album. You could set it to repeat doing this forever. [First added to this chart: 05/20/2012]

The cover is great, especially with the sticker over part of the title. This is another great Blast First album. Columbian Necktie is horific! [First added to this chart: 05/20/2012]

Come On Pilgrim is actually my fav for 1987, but it being an EP and all, I had to put it aside :(

UT were a no wave girls band. They have an amazing guitar sound, well for the post-punk fetish I am anyway :)
Opal are a neopsychedelic-dream pop band with the guy from Mazzy Star and Dream Syndicate.
Pleased To Meet Me has awesome tracks Iike "The Ledge" which I never tire of.
