12" of BLT was the first NO product I bought, the cassette of Technique was the first NO album I actually paid for. Though Substance on C90 ripped from my cousin's LP was the first NO album I heard, followed by Low-Life and Brotherhood C90s.

12" of Temptation/Hurt was 1st. I bought it over summer vacation 82, brought it back to school where a buddy I had said, "Wow, that bass sounds like Joy Division!" (We were in Eugene, Oregon--not a hotbed of obscure [for the US] British bands!) So I went backwards from there; bought PC&L day of release at the record store I worked in in LA after graduation. Saw them later that summer with about 20 of my closest friends in a dance hall that hasn't existed for decades. I was leaning against the stage, 1 foot from Hooky.

Substance in June of 2009 then Technique a few weeks later. I first heard Bizarre Love Triangle in June of 2007 and became more of a fan of their other music as time went on.
