my dad had a small (well, by today's standards) but perfectly formed record collection that I inherited. My favourites were Mahavishnu Orchestra's first two LPs, lots of Leonard Cohen, a battered copy of Pink Floyds Relics, the b&w cover of which he'd coloured in with felt tips, and Bob Dylan's 'The times they are a changing' into which he'd inserted his own pencil drawing of the front cover - lovely things. He also liked a bit of dodgy prog rock though, and I rather shamefully sold his 1st edition copy of 'In the court of the crimson king' for £100 when i was skint at university (sorry dad, I kept the rest though!).
But I mostly remember the b2b double header C90s that got rinsed in the car, taped from his mates.
The Cramps 'Psychedelic jungle'/Talking heads 'Remain in light'
The Doors 'Soft Parade'/Rolling Stones 1st LP
Sgt Pepper/Abbey Road
Captain Beefhart 'Clear Spot'/Spirit's 1st album
Ziggy Stardust/Aladdin Sane
Astral Weeks/Moondance
some brilliant post-punk era mixtape his mate made him with stuff like gang of four, Siouxie & the banshees, Joy division, Comsat Angels, Patti smith, XTC, magazine, Iggy pop.
My Mam on the other hand absolutely detests Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, has never bought any records, but seems to know all the words to every 60s pop song ever released.
Was also lucky enough to have an older sister who went through a phase of going to raves in 1991/92 so i used to nick tapes off her and her nutty raver boyfriend at the time (who i thought was incredibly cool at the impressionable age of 10).
Bless em all <3
