Competition Entries

Starting my first day of high school, mum and dad said they would buy a record for me. My brother suggested Live and Dangerous. So mum went into HMV in central London to buy an album with a picture of a guy in leather trousers, legs akimbo, thrusting his groin towards the audience. She also bought my brother a copy of Meatloaf’s Bat out of Hell, the cover being a muscley bronzed bloke bursting out of the depths of hell on a rather phallic looking motorbike. Good old mum.

This has passed down through four generations of my family. It came to me (as the current and only record nerd in the family) when my Grandad passed away in 2013.

This is my dad’s band who were quite big in NZ in the late 70s. When I saw it at an Auckland op shop I knew I had to buy it!
