The track turned out to be Watching the Aeroplanes, which I still think has a great riff and is a bit underrated.

Well all I can say is fair play to you! If I was in a record shop in my teens/early twenties with a mate, and we both liked an album we'd take turns buying and the other would tape the album. So one week say I'd buy Iron Maiden and my buddy would take a loan and copy it, the next week we'd want Black Sabbath and he'd buy it and I'd make a tape. Money were tight back in them days! Ah, memories! So you weren't one of those (unlike me!) who were contributing to that annoying logo they used to put on record sleeves --- "Home taping is killing music --- and it's illegal!" Hah! Wonder what they'd think now? Mind you, it was a pretty cool logo...
