Most of my stuff from 1978 is on compilations. I do have these, though:


Marvin Gaye - Here, My Dear


The Isley Brothers - Showdown


Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove


Parliament - Motor Booty Affair


The Jacksons - Destiny

and, the weakest of the bunch by far:


Prince - For You (good thing he improved )

What's that one like?

It's true, I'm old. I refuse to even say the year my albums were released.

Of those, Dusty In Memphis was the first one I bought.

RipHer2Shreds said:

It's not Serge's best album (that would be 1971's Historie de Melody Nelson), but it does have his most famous song "Je T'aime Moi Non Plus" and the equally excellent "69 Année Érotique"--great campy French lounge-pop.

sextonseven said:

Thanks! I'll look for it.

...and that's it to my knowledge.

1982 Classics!!!

Anyway, I think RipHer2Shreds (+ boyfriend) is the winner so far.

I've got those.

AlexdeParis said:

Wow, I could kick my own ass for forgetting that one. I do own it

bsk3601 said:

I was a little worried.

AlexdeParis said:

I'm worried about your obsession with that album and its place in others' album collections.
