So my first albums, the first album I ever bought was Kiss Alive 1.

And then my second two was Bob Marley Legend.

And still I can listen to any day.

And Human League Dare, which is pretty weird.

But I was lucky enough to have an older brother and sister that were so into music.

So I was pilfering their records more than anything else.

Yeah.

From my brother's side, it was like Queen Live Killers and the early Led Zeppelin stuff.

And from my sister, she was more of a punk, so I had Stiff Little Fingers, Public Image Limited, early U2.

But it was like, I think the first records, I go into it in the book, it's like...

Apart from the lolly jar, my parents all in one turntable with a speaker built in the front.

And their big collection of 7-inch records, like in one of those folders.

And I loved things like Any Old Iron by Peter Sellers from The Goons.

The Laughing Gnome, David Bowie.

Yeah.

Because they were sort of like stories, you know?

But yeah, I just fell in love with music way early and went, oh man, how does that needle going onto a bit of plastic spinning around make a sound coming out of the speakers, you know?

It's like...

Totally, man.

It's like a magic trick.
