Gripe of the day - What is yours? - Page 553 - SV650.org

Spent 7 hours sorting out my and Stu's CD collection and I'm still not finished.

They weren't alphabetical, just in piles everywhere with cases in the rack and discs across 4 holders.

He can now come and collect anything he wants.

I only ever bought the Fireball music though

(Supercar was in 1960, I am old)

There was also "Secret Service", "Four Feather Falls" and "Sparky the Battery Boy". "Man in a Suitcase" might also be one of his. There's more recent stuff such as "Terrahawks" too.

I remember watching Four Feather Falls and Sparky the battery boy too. There was a later one I think called Twizzle, about a boy with extendable limbs!

The Wombles were cool - look at the album cover again, Marshall Stacks and Vox AC30s. Nice.

Minueto Allegretto, Don't you go Wombling in the nettle patch, etc. One of the first albums I was given as a kid. No sign of it now which is a shame.

The first single I bought was Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson in 1969. Played on the family Dansette.
