I first became really interested in music around 1969. I was really into the top singles of that era. Singles from such artists such as Jackson Five, Kinks, Gary Puckett & Union Gap, Simon & Garfunkel, Free, Thunderclap Newman. John Lennon, Norman Greenbaum, Zager & Evans, Rod Stewart and Canned Heat have remained life long favourites
But I became a huge Elvis fan before it was fashionable to be so. From about 1970 to his death in 1977 I collected all his recordings. I have since sold all the vinyl but have replaced them with a virtually complete Elvis song collection on CD
Meat of course then made an impact on me in 1978. I had never heard such powerful material - and as they say the rest is history!
