When:

Short story:

Bob Geldof enters the UK albums chart with his second solo album, Vegetarians Of Love, on Mercury Records.

Full article:

Nigel Grainge (A+R man, Ensign Records) : I spent a day with Bob when he played me the tapes of his album, Vegetarians Of Love. He had twenty-eight tracks recorded for that album and it was our suggestion that he keep the Irish theme for that album because most of the stuff was very Cajun and rockabilly. I felt that the Irishy stuff would give the album a focus and I think he took my advice on that. I don't particularly like the album but there are tracks on it that I like - which is more than I can say for any later Boomtown Rats stuff. I hated everything they did after they left us.
