It’s quite a diverse selection of stuff that I like, I just don’t know how it all fits together. When I was about seven or eight, at the back of my cupboard I found this Dansette [points to old vinyl record player in the room]. It was my mum’s, and on top of it was a stack of records that had been played to death: Buddy Holly, Dusty Springfield, every Beatles album, loads of singles. I had no one to show me what to do, but I plugged it in and got it going, and it was this big discovery that set me off on a path of being obsessed by music and digging for treasure.
I started to get pocket money, about records because I had this little collection. The first thing that caught my eye there was ’s … I thought: ‘This is probably going to be the best thing I will ever have heard.’ I couldn’t buy it immediately, I had to save up pocket money and birthday money, and I kept going back and checking it was still in the shop… I even tried hiding it, pathetic. Eventually I got it and that was the start of a big love affair with him.
