The First album I ever bought – how cool is that! I can remember being in Woolworths record dept and torn between ABBA Voulez-Vous or Blondie Parallel Lines to spend my birthday money on (which means it must have been 1979 since this is when Voulez-Vous was out). So that was a narrow escape! I spent hours listening to this on headphones from a big ’70s hifi – one of those flat wide ones with the perspex top. (I also listened to an LP of music from The King & I none stop about the same time – and there began my eclectic taste in music).
But back to Blondie – that same summer I got a big poster of Debbie Harry that I won at a fair and had on my wall… 
Fav. song – “Heart of Glass”.
1978 – other possibilities: The Man-Machine by Kraftwerk. I listened to this recently and it’s amazing. You’d never think it was recorded so long ago.
