slimduncan's journal posting "7 Inches Part 1 ..." describes a far more extensive collection of those little pieces of black plastic than my collection boasts, but in the spirit of openness shown in that post, I thought that I too would expose my 7" soul.

My vinyl collection period stretched from 1980 to 1990. It began when my sister and I were given a copy of the single Moscow (the theme for the 1980 Olympics) and it came to an end when I purchased my first CD, World Clique, in 1990. Well, almost: recently I bought a vinyl copy of the elusive deleted album Hippopotamomus on ebay (I didn't read the posting carefully enough and thought I was buying a CD!).

Homosapien
Working in the Coalmine
Radio
TV
Goody Two Shoes
Carmen

I raced to get up as early as possible on weekend mornings so I could catch an R-rated movie without my parents knowing. Often I ended up watching something dull and unappealing to an eleven year old, though a bit more interesting than the national anthem followed by the farm report. It's sometimes hard to recall how important movie ratings…
