The EADD old farts nostalgia thread!

[F.U.B.A.R.]

Recently, I've realised there are quite a few of us old timers on BL. So come on lads 'n' lasses, let's hear yer stories about the music, the gigs, the festivals, the good times and of course, the drugs - back in the day!

As a starter, I've just heard on the tranny (radio 2 of course), the very first single I ever bought - Donna Summer's 'I feel love'. Still one of the very best disco/electronica tracks ever made IMO.

What about red Lebanese hash? Even if it was mostly henna, does it still exist!

Edit: Wow! Steve Weight on radio 2 has just played Neil Young's 'Hey Hey, My My' (live). 30 Years ago that was totally inconceivable...

[F.U.B.A.R.]

Hi Warrior, thought you might pop in here Yes, £3/tab - remember it well. However, at the same time, speed was £15/g - much more expensive than it is now, but that's cos it was good!!
