Madness Absolutely, 1980, the first album I bought with my pocket money, was musically eclipsed by Ghost Town The Specials, 1981, one of my all time favorite singles (although I didn't crack open my piggy bank at the time). I have absolutely no excuse why in 1982, David Essex Nightclubbing did seem worthy to be my first single. But the same year I made amends with my first picture disc; Alexei Sayle's infectious Ullo John! Gotta New Motor? which is proudly pinned up in my office. Ahh the formative years. BP
