Er, it would've been something in early 1980 - as I'd been buying albums for some years in the 70s!

Maybe Pete Townshend - Empty Glass, which I recall getting with Christmas money from Woolworths in Yeovil.

Well the song is about someone falling in love with an alien...  ;D

I'm intrigued. Did you buy David Essex Gonna Make You A Star in the 80s then?  :o  ???

Great choice of band, not so great choice of record. You should have started buying when you were 4!  ;)

Mine was Journeys To Glory by Spandau Ballet.

funny how bands tend to deteriorate with age isn't it...U2, Cure, New Order, Spandau, Duran, Blur, Oasis to name but a few...IMHO of course... ::)
