in response to the recent post about early singles, I'm just wondering if the rest of you lot can remember getting specific singles through the post/in the shop and playing them to death- resulting in you either buying the album/back catalogue of said band or waiting frustratedly for their next release. Most of mine happened when I heard a band for the first time...

The following stick out

Squarepusher-My Red Hot Car
Miss Black America- Infinite Chinese Box
The Libertines- What A Waster
Ed Harcourt- Maplewood

There are countless others I'm sure...
