Where bought? Good Time Records in Walton, north Liverpool. Went for a lockdown walk there when record shops were allowed to open and bought this and a couple of other cheap things.
12 years on from First is almost a completely different band with two whole careers worth of drama, success, and change under their belts.

Where bought? Not sure. I owned it in Worcester, but quite late in my stay there (2015-2020). That means I couldn't have got it from Rise as it closed, and I never bothered much with the overpriced guy upstairs in the market. Doesn't feel like I got it from the outdoor market guy either. This narrows things down to Sound in Stroud, Mod Lang in Ludlow, or Carnival in Great Malvern. But it doesn't ring any bells with visits there either. Hmmmmmmmm.
In later years I've definitely latched onto the Bee Gees. They defy theorisation and are so much more than their disco years and the major hits. In the early days they were a proper band and not just the 'Brothers Gibb' - the Aussies Colin and Vince are definitely a part of their sound, and I feel losing them was quite a blow.
Where bought?: I was in Toulouse in 2017 and some guy came up to me and said 'you left this here last time you played and I looked after...
