The first record he bought was Michael Jackson's cover version of Bill Withers hit Ain't No Sunshine, released in the UK in May 1972. Playing his collection at home on a Dansette record player, Gordon was fascinated by the musics: themes and lyrics of love; ability to paint virtual pictures; and how they resultantly engaged with the listener.
