1st new-bought single (since I'd already been snagging loads of 2nd hand ones down The Cottage) was Dave and Ansil Collins 'Double Barrel'. I got grief from the 'cool kids' at school because it was "black music" when they preferred to be so open-minded with their free-thinking non-conformist Led Zeppelin records (y'know, the songs that Jimmy Page stole 100% from black musicians).

1st full-priced LP was Jimi Hendrix 'The Cry Of Love. An amazingly brilliant record, which stunned me into realising I was born just too late to have witnessed the master. Still, there's always that bloke who plays on the corner of Ship Street....

1st gig was The Joystrings, a Salvation Army pop band who made the charts back around 1965 with a song about our saviour, 'It's An Open Secret'. I got their autographs too, it was at the King Alfred on Hove seafront. Some 6 years later it was King Crimson at The Dome, who were excellent....and a bit different from The Joystrings (it was the light-show!....or perhaps the guitarwork....)
