I'm not liking some of these first albums and singles they seem a little too cool for my liking. i think some people may shying away from their sordid musical past by evading the sheer musical horror that is their first musical purchase

No stick from me James... I have a fascination for Bubblegum:D

...really!.

...an interesting fact is that the moustachioed lead singer from BOM is in fact one Tony Burrows who is responsible for many other acts from the era such as Edisons Lighthouse, White Plains and the Pipkins.

He is the only person to appear on Top of the Pops three times in the same show with three different acts....

...he is also the voice on Beach Baby by first class...

...bet ya didn't know that!:D
