LLOYD COLE

pop singer-guitarist

“The first album that I ever had - my mother bought it for me - was ‘Electric Warrior’ by T. Rex.

“But the first record that I bought myself? Well, my mother used to work at a pub, and she got me a job stocking the shelves on Saturday mornings for like - what would it be? - probably about 50 cents. There was a record store right next to the pub, so I bought ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ by David Bowie on the installment plan.”
