No matter how embarrassing, what was the first piece of music you brought?

A Frankie Goes to Hollywood 4th Number one, or the Relax New York 12” Remix Poster for my new house.

Your favourite personal piece?

The favourite piece in my collection would have to be a “Spiritually Ibiza CD”. Lost the original and spent £50 to get another copy

Finally, does music really sound better on vinyl?

Yes. There is no sound like the needle hitting the records. And it’s more sociable.
