This does not make ME dodgy! I bought it from Woolworth's in Mexborough and remember being impressed that a 45rpm record cast 45 new pence. It must have been about 1973, so I would be 7 years old. I think it was on Bell - remember, the silver disc in the middle - and it had a blister on it, so it always played a bit wonky on the Dansette. The second record I ever bought was Hold Me Close by David Essex. It took me quite a few more years to get to The Stranglers...

He is widely regarded as one of the most influential bass guitar players in modern music history. James was one on the "Funk Brothers" amd was uncredited for the classic basslines he created. He single handedly (OK both hands) created a new language for the bass which was more melodic more sycopated and more improvised. He was a highly creative bass player who strangly enough was a primary influence on the late great John Entwhistle.

I bought it from Sidney Husbands music shop on Ropergate in Pontefract. Since then I have become an avid collector of vinyl. I enjoy all types of music my favourite being good old northern soul and I suppose my least favourite is classical. The first record I bought with my own money was Help by the Beatles.
