This was a long time ago but IIRC these were the first records I bought when I had a bit of cash and decided stamp collecting wasn’t cool. If you had a time machine which one would you buy?

I still have most of these and love them. Baffled by my enthusiasm for Frantique, much better disco tracks around.

Madness

One of the reasons I bought Madness was that one of my schoolmates was on the inner sleeve.

9 of these were among the first records i ever bought too.

Silly Games. Beat The Clock a close 2nd. Girls Talk 3rd.

everything here is good, but I will never not vote for Bang Bang by BA Robertson in a poll where Bang Bang by BA Robertson is an option

If I had to desert island disc a single Police song, it would be Message In A Bottle (how convenient). Voted for that.

I sold my blue vinyl Out of the Blue album years ago when I needed money and sometimes wish I had it back, so that one.

"Angel Eyes", though I prefer the glam-rock LP version.

I have the 45 of Silly Games, so that one
