My passion for music and interest in musicians and artists found me collecting various genres of music and publications from overseas and locally from an early age. The pre CD/MP3 era was not yet born and Vinyl ruled. Although cumbersome to carry all those 12” & 7” ‘s around in one’s Record Box it was exciting waiting to hear the latest sounds when the stylus & vinyl met,! The records themselves were decoractive and had sleeves that you could use as posters! Reel-to-Reel recording and cassettes played a vital and important role in the early years, a skillful and interesting technique which I will never forget!.
