    1. Wellington
    2. 14 years old
    3. I think it came from a Tower Music in J'ville, in Wellington. I'm not 100% sure because my dad bought it for me.
    4. It was a whirlwind romance with all the songs. It was Xmas 94 and my cousin educated me over the course of a week, sent me home with a tape of it, and I NEEDED THE CD as soon as we got home. Vs and Vitalogy followed the week after and we've been happily together ever since.

    I think I won it in a bet with a friend..


    You can't start out as a die hard. 8-)
  • I was 18 years old way back in 92' bought a cassette copy from "IT Records" in Portadown, N.Ireland. The reason i bought it was because of "ONCE" I was serving my apprenticeship as a joiner/carpenter and the guy I was working with played it constantly on this massive ghetto blaster! I must admit to thinking the lyrics went- "once oohh party time.." I was soon corrected! Also remember seeing the video to "alive" on a program i think was called "finding fax future" on rte. I remember thinking "that guys got one crazy hat on!" :lol:
