Re: Led Zeppelin Honoured

I always liked Heart. Especially in their earlier days before they went all "big hair" and AOR.

Re: Record shops

Are you a vinyl collector then Sam?

I got rid of most of my vinyl over the years. I still have a few (a couple of dozen mainly 'gatefold' LPs plus a handful of singles) but wish I'd kept more.

I think it's hanging in India 2nfro. The firing squad is used in China. Mind you, I would imagine that being banged up for life in an Indian prison is a kind of "living death" as well.
