Anything from the psychedelic era (late 60's - early 70's), Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Roger Fripp, King Crimson, the God who is Bob Dylan, Lennon, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Queen. The list is really endless. Can't stand 80's and 90's crap. And don't get me started on what's around today!

No band can surpass the brilliance of Queen in my opinion.

Not psychedelic. They were a rock band. They only had one half-decent thing - Silver Machine. In fact, wasn't that all they did?

Space fantasy rock using synthesisers and a unique audio generator which when directed at the audience would make individuals pass out. Had a resident poet and naked dancers. Done over 25 albums. Tangerine dream and gong are sort of comparable.
Did you say your brother had the shop in gosford street? Did he sell second hand vinyl? I have a limited edition search in space album - I'm sure I got it from there.

Correct Grendel.
Deano - I don't know that Phil Oakeys brother ever worked there! I've had connections with the shop from when it first opened in 1973, with the first owner, Pete Neale who now lives in Spain. I've been connected with it ever since - until it was sold by my brother, Phil - who bought it from Pete in 1980 and sold it in 2002 to someone who set it up as an Arab restaurant. I have heard on the grapevine that it was briefly tried as some sort of record shop in recent years, but I know that only 2 guys ever owned Hits and Misses - Pete Neale and my brother Phil.

I rang up once when I was at school and spoke to him. Just mumbled something like "tell Phil I think he's great!". I've seen the League many times over the years and even saw the original line-up when I was 13! Those first two albums are fantastic.
