What was the first CD you ever bought with your own money?

Still have it, with the There Is Always Something There To Remind Me lyrics cut out from Smash Hits.

Fun Monday morning activity: trying to convince my mum that aggressively boiling greens for half an hour sort of also takes away all the nutrients. 🥬🥬

Today’s best song of all time is Knock on Wood by Amii Stewart

Other (lesser) versions also available.
