Hey, only just noticed this thread after having posted elsewhere. Bit slow, me. Must be me age. Or a very enduring hangover.
Anyway. Already used the following tale of woe elsewhere on the board, but it just seemed such an appropriate way to introduce myself …
I first heard T? through buying “Pleasure Death” on a whim (well, actually, it had quite a lot to do with the cover … ;) ) just after it came out, as part of a record buying spree on my 22nd birthday. Definitely one of my better whim buys, and I’ve been a beeg beeg fan ever since, that’s for sure!
I still have the LP, but not quite in its original format - an ex-girlfriend of mine melted it under the grill, by way of a … um … leaving present :eek: Such heathen behaviour (albeit imaginatively vindictive) and just what you’d expect of someone who liked Phil Collins, and musicals including “Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat” :rolleyes: We clearly weren’t suited ;) Anyway, the outside edges of the record all curled up and it now makes a rather natty, if over-large vinyl-ashtray. I also love the dark irony of having an ashtray called “Pleasure Death” …
Here’s hoping you’ll put up with my postings, provided I don’t warble on too often about my often hapless existence ;)
