all you 'older MNers' who would have received LP's for xmas........which one would take you back to a christmas of your teens???

[psychohohohoho]

mine is the pet shop boys LP that had 'shopping' on it, the first Aha album (take on me/sun always shines on tv), and bonjovi (slippery when wet).

I got each LP at xmas when I was 13/14/15 (one per year).

what was yours???

You're obviously a bit younger than me

The Grease double album would be mine, or Duran Duran's Rio...

i remember getting bucks fizz one christmas.

my camera never lies, land of make believe..

oh oh! yy to Duran Duran. And Let's Dance by Bowie. And The Eurythmics Sweet Dreams lp, which I bought at Woolies with my xmas dosh. And The Thompson Twins! And Yazoo!

A true classic that was, Hecate.

David van Day sat in front of me on a plane once [pre-pubescent swoon]

Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet, Yazoo - Upstairs at Erics (swoon). I can hear the heartbreak and hormones from here!

I know, Dasher.

I can almost smell the Miss Selfridge perfume as I type...

David Van Day was in Dollar was he not?

Oh yes, I used to think he was the most handsome man in the entire world. Don't fancy him at all now, but then he would probably reckon I haven't weathered too well either

sounds like I am a bit younger then, altho not by so much.....I am (almost) 36!

You are a mere slip of a thing, psycho.

A true youngster

yes he was, he also joined bucks fizz at some point in the 90's.

Abba Arrival

Was that the one with them in the helicopter on the front, Onebat?

{Amazes herself with ability to recall Abba album covers from [ahem] 30 years ago but cannot remember dh's name most days]

Dollar and Bucks Fizz in one career - the dizzy heights of fame eh?!!

Abba Arrival - oh yessss

What about Rick Astley? and Paul Young - everyone in the world had those

Never bought Rick Astley - I was way too cool.

Which is why I now have an extensive Cliff Richard collection

ELO - Into The Blue. Had Horace Wimp and Mr Blue Sky on it. Actually, a damn fine album.

I have got Now 1 on vinyl.
In answer to the OP though it would ahve to be something such as Kings of the Wild Frontier(although I was only 9 when it was released)

"So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favour"

or something by Duran Duran

not me. crappolla!

My sister, otoh, had a HUGE crush on Rick Astley - posters above her bed and everything! sad really.

She had a thing about cliff too, jingle. had tapes. although I must admit his early, more lively, stuff was quite good.

Not an LP but Wham's Last Christmas.
Now That's What I Call Music One.
Ultravox - can't remember what it was called but it was a baby blue colour.

Then I went all Indie so it would be The Pogues "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" and The Smiths "Strangeways here We Come".

my DH is 38, and he made me gag when I met him with his LP collection....

t'was all rick astley/kylie minogue/bananarama/kim wilde

in fact, I think he also had all the stock,atkin and waterman lot!!

and he thinks I have an odd taste in music.

Have checked and I made up the Horace Wimp thing. Still a great album - Turn to Stone and Sweet Talking Woman.

I have now 4 on LP.

you know the saddest thing......I have all my old LP's in the attic, and nothing to play them on anymore as we have micro music centre....

Aha, Hunting High and Low, oh I wept over many a crush to that song

Am same age as you Psycho, though have a few months before 36!

yes - helicopter and jumpsuits !

psycho - when we got rid of our old system we ahd a "singles" night, and got loads of friends to bring round their 45s. it was fab!
