Rat Trap - Boomtown Rats
Was there ever a better place for browsing records and finding hidden gems than Woolies in it’s heyday?
Autumn 1978, I must have been in 5th year at “The Hall Park School, Eastwood”, aka Eastwood Comp. Deborah Slatcher’s older sister Karen was a Saturday girl at Woolies in Eastwood and worked in the record department. I went in to buy a copy of Rat Trap and she served me and was nice enough to give me the copy of the single that had the picture cover rather than the plain cover. I was well pleased.
Sadly I no longer have said copy of the single. Someone stole it from my parents attic when I moved to the USA and my money is on my brother!
As a footnote, I hear the Boomtown Rats are re-forming this Summer and playing the Isle of Wight Festival.
