Hearing them out and getting a copy IMO are to very different things, you get 2 minuets to dance, listen, finish your drink and have a chat but when you get a record you have not had on a tape or CD then its a brand new learning curve, do you like it? getting to know the lyrics, the sound and yes after a while inside out..
My record box is full of Holy Grails I wonder if anybody has had every Northern record ever, JM is my first contender for that prize.
