Page "Bruce Dickinson" Paragraph 8

Oundle was where Dickinson became attracted to heavy rock, after hearing Deep Purple's " Child In Time " being played in another student's room.

As a result, the first album he ever bought was Deep Purple's In Rock, which created his interest in rock music.

After In Rock, he went on to buy Black Sabbath's debut, Jethro Tull's Aqualung and Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Every term, a band would play at the school, the first of these which Dickinson saw was called Wild Turkey, featuring former Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick.

After that, he saw Van der Graaf Generator and Arthur Brown.
