I once bought what I thought was a Slade single (I can't remember which, but that's not important because as we know they were all classics), only to find when I got it home that it was "You might just see me cry", by Our Kid. My shame is that I never took it back to try and change it.

I also have Sex on the Beach - Hot N' Juicy... utter tripe, and i have Wannabee - Spice Girls. :( :(

I also have, i hate to say, PJ and Duncan - Our Radio Rocks (a 1995 Brit Awards nominee it says!!!)... Aqua - Cartoon Heroes, and East 17 - Stay Another Day.

I would use the excuse i was young and stupid, but the Aqua one was bought about a year ago. So, instead i will use the excuse of wanting the cases to use for my copied CDs!

Chesney Hawkes - "I am the one & only"
Yazz - "The only way is up"
MC Hammer - "Can't touch this"

Sugar Sugar by the Archies.... circa 1969/70?? Thought I was dead cool until I arrived at school and heard 500+ boys slagging it off. Far too ashamed to admit I had bought it otherwise I would have got a right kicking!!!!!!! That's public school for you!!!!!!

& what’s wrong with Oxide & Neutrino???? :)
There latest album is a bit of a let down compared to there first album
"sounds of the underground" which was superb.
They seem to be going too commercial like many of the other garage act in the buisness.

ok they say confession is good for the soul, and as there has been, may i say some very brave confessions, i will now admit to a few more faux pas in the music purchasing department.

billy dont be a hero /cant remember who sang it
love is all around / wet wet wet
plastic bertrand / cant remember the title
would appreciate the name of that one though anyone?
i actually went on behalf of my wife and bought robson and jerome unchained melody, the shop girl looked at me as if i was a very sad case!
i lost my heart to star ship trooper /hot gossip i think?

oh christ the list is endless im gonna go and and break some more cds i think!

I don't buy many singles, why buy singles when you can buy soundtracks instead?

I did buy the Smurfs "I've got a little puppy" which I really should be ashamed of buying but I still find the line 'pooper - pooper scooper' hilarious.

"Love is like a violin" by Ken Dodd - for my mum
spent hours in the pub to pluck up the courage to ask for it, in the end I wrote it on a piece of paper and slid it over the counter.

Oh the shame of it, wonder if Ken paid the tax on it?

Not only have I got "Touch Me" by Sam Fox, but I also have her follow-p single made a few years after Touch Me, called "Love House" I think.

I've also got the Stock Aitken and Watermelon compilation "The Hit Factory" on tape featuring their hit "Roadblock"

A whole litany of shame comprising:

P&J Duncan - Psyche
Ralph McTell - Silver Celebration
Chas and Dave - Street Party

And Morton Feldman/Samuel Beckett 2 - quite possibly the worst piece of recorded music in history.

I thought I was being intellectual (about the Chas and Dave, I mean)

:rolleyes:
