ONE LP PORTRAITS: MUSIC LOVERS: Anne Hemingway

“My memories of this album goes back to when I was living in the nurses home when I was training to be a nurse. As we hadn't much money and we couldn't afford to buy our  own records we used to club together and this is one of them that we bought which we all loved. 

We used to play it and play it and play it, so when we moved out of the nurse's home I took it homewith me without telling the other nurses, but it was scratched to death. Then a couple of years later I went to live in Rhodesia and I had to leave all my music behind so one of the first things I bought when I got there was  a record player and this (album) so I just used to play it and play it and play it - it reminded me of home. 

It brought back lot of memories. 'Sorrow' - and See Emily Play were my two favourites I bought three albums when I bought the record player Bowie , Jackson5and Alvin Stardust. 

When I brought them all back to England  Pin Ups mysteriously disappeared  (My brother was the main suspect), so I guess what goes around comes around.”
