Personal Best Records: You Am I

Name: Rusty Hopkinson

Best record you stole from your folks’ collection?: My dad liked Ray Charles and The Bee Gees...I didn't realise how much I liked them too until much later.

First record you bought?: In the seventies I was a cassette kid, my first was "Get Your Ya Ya's Out" by The Rolling Stones - the only Rolling Stones album available on cassette at Myer Fremantle's Record Bar.

Record you put on when you’re really miserable?: "Put The Clock Back On the Wall" by The E Types, that 45 never fails to cheer me up.

Record you put on when you bring someone home?: Whatever's at the front of the 45 pile...some East LA Chicano Garage lately. Late night - the Virgil Caine LP.

Most surprising record in your collection?: Possessed - Seven Churches - probably the last thrash metal record I still own and, occasionally, play.

Last thing you bought/downloaded?: "Are You Experienced" by T. Swift & The Electric Bag - a Jerry Cole cheapo-fuzz wants-list item.

When and where are your next gigs?: South Coast NSW, Kidgeeridge Festival - will be hitting op shops on the drive down!
