    I tried to buy this Big In Japan EP for £25 in Probe Records in Liverpool, in 1986, when I was 16, which was a bit of money for a record back then. I couldn't really afford it at the time and the guy behind the counter knew that it had taken me a good while to save up, and when it came to the crunch, he wouldn't sell it to me.That's what they were like in Probe. There was an integrity there. It was always personal, never about business. If they didn't want to sell you a record, because a) they didn't like it or b) because they knew you couldn't afford it, they wouldn't sell it to you. So pleased to hear it now, after all these years..

      Coming Soon I bought the 45 for $75 after too much sake one night after a rough day at work. Next morning I checked my email and saw that it was shipping from Germany. Usually I regret making rash purchases but I still treasure this record whenever I put it on

    I'm nothing special; the star of the show.
    The hottest thing on video.
    I spend my time interviewing me
    With the aid of trick photography.
    Me! Me! Me! I! I! I! My! My! My!
    Egomania, egomania.
    Me! Me! Me! I! I! I! My! My! My!
    Egomania, egomania.
    You see me standing here, all cool and calm
    Look at my body; can you see my charm?
    I show no signs of plastic surgery
    My life is full of love and gaiety.
    Me! Me! Me! I! I! I! My! My! My!
    Egomania, egomania.
    Me! Me! Me! I! I! I! My! My! My!
    Egomania, egomania.
    When I step out of my celluloid world,
    I'm like a child longing to be held.
    My cries for help mean nothing to you.
    Can't you help this dying star before she slips away?
    Me! Me! Me! I! I! I! My! My! My!
    Egomania, egomania.
    Me! Me! Me! I! I! I! My! My! My!
    Egomania, egomania.
