I'm an Aston Villa supporter, have been for over 30 years. Current season ticket holder with my 12 year old son.
No gloryhunting for me..............
And may I say what a fantastic new owner/chairman we have in Randolph Lerner?
There is a lot said today in the game about foriegn owners of English football clubs, but our new American owners have been FANTASTIC.
They work in conjunction with supporters to make the club a better place; they look after us, making matchdays a better experience (off the pitch!); they have employed a top class manager, and they supply him with the money he requires.
Also, non-executive director General Charles Krulak actually posts on the Villa fansite I use, answering supporter questions and getting feedback to pass on to the Chairman.
I doubt any other club can boast that!

I got into the Beach Boys in 1976 - here in England thats when "20 Golden greats" was released with a massive advertising backup. In those days and at age 13, info about the band was VERY hard to come by, so I started going into the city centre every Saturday to see what else I could find by the band. My next two purchases were "Spirit Of America" (a single album over here) and 15 Big Ones. Obviously Big Ones had some new material on it, and has since been held by me as a personal fave. I was totally hooked. Then I discovered a second hand record store called Reddingtons......after that I never had any spare money!!! I began purchasing all the 45's that store had in stock. I got hold of Pacific Ocean Blue in Woolworths in 1978!!! After a lull in my buying antics for a few years the advent of eBay really did for me. I now have over 400 45s....all the LP's bar a couple of compilations, a few bootlegs, all the CDs, books, pic sleeves, demos/promos......a total addiction. Of course the internet has been a massive help in obtaining lots of unreleased material

I've just got hold of Sunflower/Surfs Up via eBay...its a "twofer" but 12" vinyl version in a gatefold sleeve. At 99p its a real bargain I didnt know this had been released and I've never heard of it before. I wont get it for a week or two, so can anyone throw any light on its year of release/country of origin???
