I first got into the Jamms on the release of 1987 .. I took a trip to Manchester and bought the LP after reading the reviews.It REALLY made me laugh when I first heard it,I must admit.I was then given a 1987 cassette version,so I got to hear it a lot more on my walkman at work..and totally fell in love with it within a very short time! I think my oddest purchase..the TOTP 7" or a melon mail order deal aside.. was,on the release of the K Cera Cera CD, phoning Black Hole Records in Tel Aviv at some unearthly hour to order a couple of copies,which were then posted to my address but getting the country totally wrong..posted to Germany instead of UK.After waiting a few weeks I phoned Tel Aviv again and was promised two more,which arrived very quickly.Luckily,the first two also arrived a couple of months later..so was well worth the phone bill! (one of which I held on to..another I gave away..and two I ebayed) It would be interesting to hear other views on how the easy availabilty of online downloads,bootleg copies etc have affected the "collector mentality" . or is it just me that seems to feel that owning the original items is no longer as important? (although there is a sentimentalality element in holding on to them) Are my anorak days REALLY over?? :o( (although I suppose posting on this list proves that they arent!) Whoohooo!!!
