I had that too - so could have been before the Alice Cooper single - but maybe it was my sisters, it's the AC that I remember. I had Ballroom Blitz by Sweet too. Now I'm confused

I had Ballroom Blitz too, just checked and it was later than Son Of My Father. As I said in my quote, how do people remember this stuff? It was all a long time ago now.

Funnily enough I've just had a course of Vitamin B12 injections, it's my short term memory that's dodgier now.

I bought Slayed and Schools Out at the same time (remember being an embarrassed 11yr old when I pulled the paper nickers out of the sleeve on the bus home)

Single was Alice Cooper - Hello Hooray (I think)

Funny enough I just downloaded Welcome to the Pleasuredome the other week - a lot on there that I'd forgotten but surely their version of Born to Run is by far better than that Yank lad's?
