Back in the happy eighties, I loved my vinyl more then anything. I think it was back in 1989 that I gleefully bought a '45 of Never Tear Us Apart by INXS and instead (although it was labeled correctly in the cardboard center of the '45 and the sleeve was in fact correct) it played the abysmal Waiting For A Star To Fall by Boy Meets Girl when I put the needle on it.

Oh well. Sigh.

Now, when I hear Waiting For A Star To Fall (which is next to never, except maybe in a grocery store at an unholy hour) I smile. Not only do I not mind the song, I kinda like it. For me, it brings back happy memories of my youth spent at Tower & Tempo Records, in my schoolgirl plaid, buying my vinyl & tapes.

edited to add: I almost forgot about Music Plus, Wherehouse & Licorice Pizza! They're all just a memory now!
