Started buying records aged 13 in 1972.
First singles bought: All The Young Dudes - Mott The Hoople, 10538 Overture - The ELO, & The Jean Genie - David Bowie.
First LP's - Electric Warrior by the electric elf Bolan, Slade Alive!, Ziggy & a cheapo comp by The Move on MFP, Fire Brigade.
Moved on from the Pop scene speedily into the world of Prog.
1st concert: David Bowie at Green's Playhouse, Glasgow, January 1973
2nd: Hawkwind (with Stacia) at Glasgow Apollo (revamped old Green's Playhouse) December 1973.
Dozens more after and spent what seems the entirety of my teenage years at the Apollo.
I sold off many that I just didn't enjoy, so now only own 1,500 LP's, 3,500 CD's, 1,200 vinyl singles on 7" & 12", 300 CD singles & 1,000 music DVD's.
If I like an artist I tend to have everything but just one copy as I'm not at all a "trainspotter" collector into label variations from Venezuela etc. That doesn't interest me, the music is my buzz. Huge Dylan fan with hundreds of bootlegs. Everything by Bowie, The Who, Neil Young, Beatles, Stones, Doors, John Martyn & every second by Jimi Hendrix. My favourite Soul Funk Jazz Rock people, Marvin, Stevie, Isaac, David Porter, Santana, Mouzon, Miles, Funkadelic, Prince, & obscurities such as The Imperial Pompadours & one-off pure gems such as Aphrodites Child's 666, Devo, Suicide. I also have many hundreds of compilation albums & soundtracks but never consider that to be part of my main collection.

Apollo59 21st May 2017		CD Single Eric Clapton - My Father's Eyes	It isn't if using barcodes as the search tool! My entry looks to me to be more accurate
Apollo59 23rd Mar 2017		CD Single Yello - The Race	Also available in Blue & Black chequered sleeve with front sticker with same catalogue numbers and barcode.
Apollo59 21st Mar 2017		CD Single Neil Young And The Restless - Eldorado	All of these tracks were originally destined for Young's unreleased album 'Times Square' that was supposed to appear in early 1989, but was cancelled. Young therefore specially compiled these 5 tracks from a selection of 9, into this EP. Young conceived this release as an EP and this is registered within his own official discography as an EP. Released only in Japan and Australia and only available on (expensive) import elsewhere.
