Nope...I'm a sad excuse for a moderator, eh?
thinking back...there are only a few things in my collection that I can really recall when and where I got them...
WFTSC was purchased from the Target I was working at on release date here in the States...I actually got my paws on it the day it came into the store, which was several days before the release date on Tuesday, but the bastards wouldn't let me buy it early...but I do recall a certain giddy feeling when I first saw it, sad, but true...
Get Ready-I had already purchased the UK version from some online place, but still picked up an American version on the day it was released...played around with the display at the Target I was working at back then so that it displayed prominently...and it still sold one copy...
Republic-pre-ordered from RPM records in Garland, TX...Randy, who owned the place had it here for me the day after it was released in the UK, and he shit a brick when he saw that it was on London...
Blue Monday '88-I swiped this one from a Wal-mart in Balch Springs, TX because I was flat broke and had to have it...lucky for me I didn't get caught!!! just realized, I haven't a clue when I got it though...
Substance on CD-purchased from the same Wal-mart that I later stole the BM88 disc from...I had it on tape already, and fuck knows where that one came from...purchased it on 2 January 1988, because I had just got a CD player...
and I do remember that PC&L was the first thing I purchased...but I didn't pick it up until 1984...got it on a slab of vinyl at Sound Warehouse in Mesquite, TX...
after that, everything is kinda hazy...
