Did you say " The Records?" I didn't think anyone else in the world had
even heard of them, let alone remember. One of my favourite driving songs
is "Teen-a-rama". I too used to make up driving tapes of New-Wave
interpersed with my favourites from the `60's. Stones, Who, Beatles,
Badfinger. Man that stuff takes me back.....
