... having never heard it before?
I've done it three times
1 Lime spiders Slave Girl Ep. I was blown away by the energy of the track 25th hour - wonderfully raucous!
2 I went into Andy's, the best record store in Norwich. It was some time early 80s and I had gone to buy the latest Deep Purple album. Purple Rain had just been released. I knew of Prince but he was of zero interest to me. Anyway, Darling Nikki came on and I loved it! I went to ask what the record was and was most surprised that it was Prince. Bought the album and still love it, one of the best releases from the 80s. Sadly, Prince was never that exciting again (for me). At the time I couldn't believe I was walking out with a Prince album!
3 I was up in the Jazz section of Tower records, probably late 80s, and they were playing the Afro celt sound system first album. I was wandering around browsing for about 20 minutes (wonderful record shop) and decided to buy it.
.... followed by 30+ years of it not happening again ...

Sometimes you’d get a decent conversation too. I was practically on first name terms with the folk in HMV in Leith back in the early 2000s when I worked nearby.
I miss this stuff actually. Those days are long gone.
I hadn't done that since the 80s.
And not exactly a record store, but WH Smiths in Stratford was playing the Music's debut album and I got that too.
I'm sure there've been others, but they're the two that spring to mind.

Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
It wasn't this song (the only have a couple songs on Spotify) but this is the general style
