    ‘Stimulation’ was the first ’45 I ever owned! And I still have it ❤️

      Paul will b happy to hear that… he is still going strong with the absolutely 80’s band… check them out Scott Carne (kids in the kitchen). Brian Mannix (uncanny x-men) Dale Ryder(boom crash opera) David Sterry ( Real Life) and Paul Gray (waa waa nee) just to name a few. 🙂

    Stimulation wasn’t 1987 but I would rate it a solid 9 out of 100
