Is that the one that was 10" as opposed to being 12"?

I had that, if so.

My first record I can remember buying was The Smurf Song by Father Abraham.

Oh, the shame....

No, it was the 12" album. Actually, the original copy was fatally scratched by a very young Mr Robert Gallon (little bastard!) during a house party at my parents. His folks bought me another copy but I kept the original sleeve. God knows why it was exactly the same as the first one was.

Wierd. I have these recollections of buying a Police album that was 10". I could've sworn it was that one.

Anyway, as you were...
