We've all got them. Those relics left over from our younger days, now shoved to back of the collection.
Or the ill-advised impulse buy that you never played.

You can't get much more embarrassing than Babylon Zoo.... :blush:

Yeah OK, that's pretty shameful...:laugh:

Well luckily for me I went through all our CD's yesterday and got rid of a few, the most shameful being an 'Aqua' album. I'd have been stopped at customs and deported if I tried to smuggle that in!

Doubtless it will languish in the charity shop for a very long time to come :wink2:

Cockney, stick your elbows out and try not to catch anyone in the eye
That's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat... etc

Mink, so far you win the title for most embarrassing record collection hands down. I am the proud owner of a Phil Colins tape, but it doesn't stand up against such competition as Rene and Renato and Jonathan King. :D

Yeah Jas Mann was quite a looker want he, wasnt he a brummy or a yam yam?

Mr Q RIPPED it out of me when he discovered it in my CD collection, he had over 500 CDs to pick on, and he picked THAT......the git....didnt bother with my "cooooooool" music did he :wacko::laugh:

Mind you, I have also got what I call my "dodgy 80's rock" music all on CD too - Marillion - Script for a Jesters Tears is STILL one of my FAVE albums but I dont admit it to many.......Journey are another firm favourite but some find them a bit cheesy......and then there is the Whitesnake collection on CD, Album AND Video - I had a bit of a thang for David Coverdale in the 80's....you may have noticed the trend - long haired rockers were my bag :naughty:

Hello Kittencat,

Oh yes you can, I shouldn't admit to this at all, but when I was teenager I loved the BAY CITY ROLLERS, and even more there sense of fashion. Tartan trousers that looked like they had been off cuts and remained unfinished, with equally dreadful shirts and braces to match.

Still tonight I have just picked my first Northern representative for the region an excellent T REX soundalike. Wow.

Anyone for a boogie, what about a Jeepsters. All tired, shame on you whatevers happened to your nightlife. mmm :sad:

Hello Cockney,

You have taste. Neil Sedaka is an excellent classically trained pianist and violinist. A talented song writer who will never be forgotten for Solitaire.

His first UK hit, Was "I GO APE".

Did you know that he was also a major music influence to Elton John, another classically trained musician and song writer.

Neil Sedaka did make a come back a few years ago and I couldn't resist going to see him. His backing vocalists both came from Whitley Bay not far from me.

I have the first M.C. Hammer album...the one with 'You Can't Touch This' on it...:blush:

I love Status Quo...nothing wrong with that :thumbsup:

I also have a copy of 'The Stonk' by Hale and Pace...it was comic relief single way back! :unsure:

I confess that I own a copy of "The World of Eddie Grundy" - yes him from The Archers :blush:

In my defence - it was only £3 - and I left the sticker on to prove it.

I bought it for a very good reason - honest! I'm a sucker for unusual cover versions and this has a couple of beauties - Pink Floyd's "Scarecrow" and Mike Nesmith's "Silver Moon".

And no - they're not very good - but what the hell!!

I love this song. Makes me feel like this. :w00t:

I can't think of anything that I would feel embarrassed about owning. I bought things because I liked them at the time and, seeing as I've never thrown any of my vinyls away (although many have broken), I obviously still do!
