I remember that day. I was coming home from school. I had an album on every street in my backpack.

I remember that day very well.   I bought the CD in town and when I returned, my husband had just painted the front door, so it was open to dry.   I listened to the CD over and over and I'm sure the whole street must have heard it!

Bought it on cassette the day of release - blew my mind!!

Bought my CD in my local branch of Woolworth, a chain which is now no longer in business for those outwith the UK.  They had a box of badges by the counter, one free for every album purchased.  Mine lives beside the '85 and '96 badges in helping to keep moths at bay in my wardrobe!

Very nice.

Indeed, very nice dmg

Thanks LE and KF.  The '96 pin badge is very HQ with a good weight to it.  It's the kind of souvenir you buy and are very satisfied with later.

A real keepsake - similar to my MK Golden Heart badge/brooch I have somewhere!

A collectors item I'd say....

I have the 96 badge.

It has sat in a drawer for 25 years!

Beautiful words!
