*that dates me doesn't it ?
Addendum "Drat and double drat" (In a Dick Dastardly type voice) I've missed "Cupid and Psyche : Scritti Politti out !!! Shame on me !

Thanks for inviting me on to the show.

Only 5? But you had six!!! Cheater :p

Good call - tis a hard choice, but a fun challenge to nail it down.

Please Ivan, can I have copies of:


Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
Marc and the Mambas - Torment and Toreros
Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall
Scott 3
Brian Eno & Harold Budd - The Pearl

Do I get to take a book and a gadget/thingie too?

if not, then I reckon I'd sneak a copy of The Robin's Tiny Throat under my pillow

You're right Martin
So The Daily Mail and Express were right back in the 70's The influence of listening to Slade's "Coz I Luv You" and "Mamma Wear all crazee now " on proletarian kids like myself have made me both illiterate and innumerate ! Had I listened to Andrew LLoyd Webber and Elgar I'd be a much more worthy and intellectually valid person like David Cameron !
Good list from you Did you ever get into Brassens btw ? if not I'll try and get something your way

I'll take them all!

I cannot list any preference.

What I'll do is add the first five LPs that I bought in Gib re the synth genre:

1)Architecture & Morality - OMD
2)Visage - Visage
3)Vienna - Ultravox
4)Speak & Spell - Depeche Mode
5)Duran Duran - Duran Duran

The above five were bought in 1981 with my late grandparents' pocket money. I'm not very sure but the next five were:

6)Journeys To Glory - Spandau Ballet
7)Organisation - OMD
8)Dare - The Human League
9)Rage In Eden - Ultravox
10)OMD - OMD

Foxx and Ultravox! arrived in my record collection in 1983. Better late than never and I was blown away.

Great memories from desert island!

Best!
