The latter part of the 1980s was a great time for me as music enthusiast and collector. A university student at the time, I had a bigger school allowance, a good portion of which I saved to be able to buy cassette tapes and vinyl records of my favorite bands almost every weekend.
Here are some of the albums that soundtracked the early part of my life as a Nursing student in the late ’80s to the early ’90s. All of them, except Bread & Circus, were released in 1988.
Over the years, I started to re-acquire those albums, this time, in CD format; although I still buy used vinyl records, especially when the title is not available in CDs or is more expensive.
