Throughout the 1980s I kept a diary and meticulously noted every record I bought. With this project, I accurately uncover my youth-fuelled years collecting vinyl during that decade.
From punk to new wave, indie jangle to garage punk revival, sixties garage and psychedelia . . . . a period of discovery that has defined my music tastes to this day!
Reviews, liner notes, ephemera, dates, information and random images relating to each disc will be revealed.
