“I should probably start with my first LP which was Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. Man that is such a good album!”
“From then on I cited Stevie Nicks as my idol. If anyone asks why I just tell them to listen to ‘Gold Dust Woman,’ that’s enough justification for anyone.
I have a lot of my Dad’s old records like his Stones, Cream, and George Harrison collections. There’s a really great shop in Camden (I can’t remember its name) but that’s where I bought my copy of LA Woman, Live In The West by Hendrix and a super cool compilation that has Lou Reed, Ian Dury, The Moody Blues, and Deep Purple on it. Pretty weird mix but still awesome!
My favourite record I own though is the recording of Woodstock that my boyfriend bought me. Its got Joan Baez, Jimi Hendrix, and Jefferson Airplane on it. Plus if I play it and sit on my floor with a blanket around me I can pretend I was there which is obviously THE DREAM. The most recent record I bought was Led Zeppelin II which I’m pretty happy about because now I have I,II,III and IV.
It would be an absolute dream for me to one day get an LP pressed to vinyl especially as—if I bought my own record (very lame but something I would do)—I would be between Fleetwood Mac and Florence and The Machine who are two of my biggest inspirations!”
