Schools out by Alice Cooper, think 1971 and lamplight by David Essex.

LP was a compilation album around 1973/74 Had rocket man, The in Crowd,Ku Fu Fighting etc but cant remember the exact name of it.

I still have all my 45's and LP's. many have colour covers still in tact.

I wonder if they are worth anything to a collector? Anybody know?
