Really? I count 11 artists whom I'd never played on my show before.

My comment was about how good your musical choices were.

Thank you for playing Thin Lizzy... I’ve been going through a long-belated discovery of the band’s catalog. Long under-appreciated, at least by me.

I had no idea how much I’d like the ‘Johnny the fox’ album. I can totally hear how it influenced the early NWOBHM artists.

By the way Delvin, I remember watching the exact same program as you (Fridays) in July of 1980 and seeing the Jam play Start! and Private Hell. I went out and bought my first Jam LP the very next day (All Mod Cons).

Thank you, gents, for your kind words.

Philippe, much as it chagrins me to admit it, I didn't rush out that weekend to find The Jam's records. Don't ask me why. The first Jam album I added to my collection was Snap! By that time, the band had run its course.
