What a nice thread Carlos! One everyone can get into!
So for me...'Kilimanjaro' on continuous play in student house 1987
Also taped WSYM lp given me by then girlfriend but as the rest of her donations were, I thought, crap it didnt get listened to properly for years.
1988 my mate Steve bought 'My Nation Underground' and we listened together and I thought errr umm yeah.....right. Inherited the copy when he died but cos of my reservations about it didnt buy 'Peggy Suicide' for ages- remember looking at it in Ourprice Records and thinking errr umm yeah... etc.
My other mate Nige finally ended this little uncertainty when he blew me away with his copy. Round this time redisovered the WSYM tape but then Nige died (he and Steve alike suffered from Muscular Dystrophy) and then there was absolutely no hesitation in buying 'Jehovahkill' on vinyl when it came out and I've remained Blown Away by Copey and the memory of my dear mates ever since. xxxxxxx
