I bought Sail Away on 1 July 1971 at a shop in Palmers Green, north London, called Opus Records. The night before my girlfriend and I had been out seeing the J.Geils Band play a midnight show at The Lyceum off the Strand. Afterwards we dined on Wimpy and chips and then trudged to King's Cross to await the opening of the suburban line to take us to her home. I bought the record the following morning. We sat in bed listening to it and looking through the French windows into the garden... The girlfriend and I are grandparents now.'
