My Record Collection.
FIRST RECORD YOU BOUGHT? Single - "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles (I'm not that old; it was the 1976 re-release). Album - "The Best Of The Monkees" by... Er... The Monkees. The first record I ever owned was "A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles. My Aunt bought it for me for Christmas 1972.
LAST RECORD YOU BOUGHT? "All Over The Place" by the Bangles. Had to pay an arm and a leg for it from a rare record shop, but it was worth it.
RECORD YOU PLAY BEFORE A NIGHT ON THE TOWN? "Let's Spend The Night Together" by the Rolling Stones, "Sweet Soul Music" by Arthur Conley, "Wig Wam Bam" by the Sweet, "Rock And Roll Star" by Oasis.
RECORD YOU'D PLAY THE MORNING AFTER A NIGHT ON THE TOWN? A bit of Simon and Garfunkel always goes down well.
MOST EMBARRASSING RECORD IN YOUR COLLECTION? I have no embarrassing records in my collection. I am also very modest and have a very large cock.
RECORD YOU ALWAYS DANCE TO AT WEDDING RECEPTIONS? I once went to a wedding reception where they played "Transmission" by Joy Division and everybody freaked out to that one. Never heard it at a wedding since. Otherwise, don't know. I don't go to that many weddings.
FAVOURITE RECORD FOR SHAGGING TO? "Love To Love You Baby" by Donna Summer, who actually sounds like she was having sex while making the record. Naughty Donna. It's been a long time since I have actually had a shag, so I don't know what would be suitable now.
BEST RECORD FOR PLAYING IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS? "Everybody's Been Burned" by the Byrds. Possibly David Crosby's greatest ever 3 minutes and 9 seconds.
RECORD YOU'D PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL? "The Carnival Is Over" by the Seekers. The saddest goodbye song of all time. My Gran had it played at her funeral, and if it is good enough for her, it is good enough for me. Leave 'em crying.
FAVOURITE RECORD SLEEVE? I really like the sleeve for the CD version of "Relics" by Pink Floyd, which featured a three-dimensional version of the original LP cover sketch drawn by drummer Nick Mason. Really beautiful sleeve. Also, you cannot go much wrong with the Beatles "Revolver" cover, drawn by Klaus Voorman.
LYRIC OR SONG YOU WISHED YOU'D WRITTEN? At the moment, "One day you'll walk right out of this life, and you'll wonder why you didn't try" from "Ghosts", written by Paul Weller, recorded by the Jam.
RECORD YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE GUESTED ON? I wouldn't have the audacity to suggest that I could have improved any record by guesting on it, so probably none. I would have liked to have seen a Beatles recording session, so maybe they would have let me sing on the chorus' of "All You Need Is Love" or "Yellow Submarine"? i.e. When you couldn't actually pick me out.
RECORD YOU'S RECOMMEND TO A KERRANG READER? Couldn't suggest a thing. The heaviest records in my collection are probably by the Who or Led Zeppellin. I would imagine that Kerrang readers would already know all of their music. I know! How about "Action" by the Sweet? A great rock single, which would probably be dismissed by rock fans because the Sweet started as a teenybop, a glam rock band. Their singles "Fox On The Run" and "The Six Teens" were also really good.
