Good thread .....
For me it was GLYN REARDON from Nuneaton and ADEY HARLEY from Brighouse (now in Australia) who set me on this path of never any money .... unless it's for vinyl.
Still have the tape Glyn did me ..... March 1985 .... got things like Sharon McMahon (covered up as Florence Millar), Huns Review, Headlines, Carol Anderson ..... loads of stuff that's massive today.
I still look back at this tape as being a defining moment for me scene wise .....
