Whilst studying in Chesterfield, a big groovy gang of us art and design student-types used to congregate at The Bucks Head, watch TOTP - before heading up the road to a club called Fusion, where our friend and role model ran an alternative night.
One evening we saw the 'Reward' video. I wasn't to become a fan (actually I'm still a way to go to match most folk reading this) until being given 'Head On' in about 1995.
I picked up several singles. Some on release... I think 'When I Dream' was in a cheapy box, though. I also bought 'Kilimanjaro' (zebra cover), at arounf that time, too.
I did see Teardrop Explodes support Queen at Milton Keynes Bowl, in about 1984, btw. That was the only time, though.
