OK, so it’s not the oldest in my collection, but wait, read on. It was the first 33 and 1/3 to make it onto the farm…where it was put on display on the mantlepiece. My eldest brother bought it in 1970 when I was only four. I spotted this copy in Vinnies a few years ago, and did not hesitate to spend the dollar to own it. (My own first purchase was CCR’s 20 Golden Greats, and although many years of the likes of Duran Duran, Simple Minds, and The Cure followed, I’m still proud of that first purchase)
