I have a friend who is English and he was moving house. He moves in and says to me, I have my old record collection out do you want to have a look? (He’s about 15 years my senior). So we started flicking through them, mostly obscure English bands from the 70’s and 80’s, lots of Iron Maiden etc. I spot this 7inch and have a look and am surprised to see it’s a 1979 press of The Wall.
I’m pretty surprised and he just looks at me and goes “it’s yours, take it. I know you appreciate this stuff and it’s better in your hands then getting all dusty in a box at my place.” I wasn’t quite sure what to say but it’s a great little thing to have and was a very generous gift from him.
It’s the oldest record I own by a number of years!
