We all have albums that we once loved but let slip into obscurity for many years only to stumble upon them and relive the joy of the album all over again.
Last night this this magic happened me. Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman.

You were a fan of the old folk from a young age then CM?[/QUOTE]
The auld fella was a fan- throw in Neil Young and some Motown/Soul like the Stylistics and Drifters and they’d be the albums he would play while painting or doing some DIY around the house and they become yours as you get older. So in some ways i’ve rediscovered them twice if you know what I mean. That’s why i’d also have a softspot for Abba and Mary Black also from ‘the’ mother playing them…
Both The Drifters and Queen’s greatest hits (Vol. 1 for Queen) were the first two albums I was really into at about 9 or 10.
