1972 and 73. Glam was really starting to happen and each copy of NME I bought had top twenties full of songs I'd never heard of and some I wouldn't get to hear for many years. I didn't get to hear Virginia Plain for a long time after I started loving Roxy Music. Although the cover of the first album was brilliant I was too infatuated by Bowie to take notice. But with "For Your Pleasure" their second album I was well and truly hooked. I tracked down the first album on import but Virginia Plain wasn't on it. (Later releases would add it). My best mate at the time Pete J was an avid music fan. he got me into the import shops at Monash and Melbourne Unis. And the import was a gatefold.
