I Enjoy a Wide Range of Music

I did the usual thing we ALL do of picking up on chart music when I was younger.
Then found that the stuff I liked was rare to hear on radio. National radio anyway!
This is during the glorious FM days!
I'd spend ages trawling through hiss and all kinds of weird noises before finding some obscure Dutch channel broadcasting late night jazz-funk or something similar from America.
Then I got into trying to actually BUY this stuff!
Any idea how hard it was to locate anywhere overseas to buy music. PRE Internet??
So. My music collection is kinda small but varied!
