Their 'best of' was one of the CDs cruelly stolen by my offspring. I replaced it a few months ago at a cost of €22

@MAD87 But aren't you pleased your kids have such good taste in music?

Soundtrack of my growing up.
What more could you ask? Cars, girls and surfing (just the beach in my case).

Hmmm. They've nicked so much over the years, it's cost me a fortune in replacements.

Same story with me. Couldn't have been anything else, growing up where I did.

Wembley 1975.
Fabulous. Stackridge, Shakakhan, Joe Walsh, Eagles, Beach Boys until the big disappointment : Elton John. Instead of doing all the known songs he played his new album (Captain Fantastic etc) released the day before which nobody knew.
