Floyd 67-74 Japanese and bootleg collecting

[Abra Cadabra]

Lol. In 85-86 my cassette collection was Queen, Genesis (80s) and
Duran Duran, A-Ha and Madonna. Then came CDs and i delved into Floyd,
Doors, Marillion, old Genesis, Sisters Of Mercy and Ramones and Zep
and Bowie and Pistols all came around 88-89. By the time Nirvana and
Pearl Jam exploded in the early 90s i felt it was "ok" and "hip" to
dig Hawkwind.. rock was ok with "teh people" not all that pop 80s
krap.
