Lynsey De Paul was an early crush for me. I was too young to buy my own records at the time, so her hit single Sugar Me was bought for me. I don't think any of the family (me included) had even considered that the metaphor within the lyrics was - presumably - semen! Gotta love her for that. In yer face, Lynsey!

Yikes! I’d never even considered that, but I think you may very well be right. She was a major crush for me too. I once saw her just around the corner from the LCF college, about a couple of years before she died. She still looked beautiful.

my first solo purchase, which is hard to own up to, was David Essex and Lamplight. I guess that's one prostitution! I absolutely can't stand him so not sure how or why.

That Rupert cover looks familiar. I had just about forgotten about him. Ruuupert! Rupert the bear! Everyone knows his name. (Can't believe I remember that.)

Everyone come and join in all of his games. Lovely.
