It was one of the first albums I ever stole.

Christmas 1980, I was given "Dirk Wears White Sox" by Adam and the Ants (my parents realised that I liked the then current album and didn't realise that Dirk was more punk - I was astonished by how different it was, and loved it). Same year they gave my (older) brother Ghost in the Machine - he wasn't that fussed, and I loved it, so I nabbed it.

So that christmas (aged 10) I got two albums - one talked about the size of God's knob ("The Day I Met God" - Adam and the ants), and the other said that the National Front were cunts ("Rehumanize Yourself" - The Police).

Subversive stuff.
