I haven't even heard of them until I heard Flamboyant...

Since 'Nightlife' ... more or less.

DANNII!! FLAMBOYANT!! LOL

... I wasn`t keen on Love comes quickly when it came out either, but then I heard it on a documentary and I wanted it but it was hard to find, took me a while to get the 12" and being only young at the time I had to save for weeks to buy Please

Since West and Girls, so from scratch....
1986-2006

1991 Performance tour I'll never forget. It was fabulous.
Left to my own devices on the album with trevor horn as producer was superb.

I love the older albums more i guess.
In those days I was also a huge fan of frankie goes to hollywood with trevor horn and ztt records as driving forces.
Fundamental and the combination of PSB, 80 sound and trevor horn would hopefully (for me) bring back the old days....

I started becoming a fan after I bought Discography in 1992 (the first PSB album I'd purchased). But I became a die-hard fan after Very in 1993.

yea, about same here..

My interest in them re-kindled when i heard Nightlife's singles being played on the radio.. thought they were simply superb..
Then borrowed my friend's dad's Very... (thinking it was their Greatest Hits since it said "Very" as in "Very Best" i thought..)
Fell in love with it.. bought it..
Then i saw 2 sets of cassettes on the shelf at the store..Discography and Alternative (2 cassettes)
I didnt read what was written on the label, straightaway bought Alternative on the blind logic that since it was 2 cassettes, it had to be their greatest hits.
Was disappointed it was just b-sides, but i fell in love wit it too..
Later managed to buy discography and the rest of their albums...

Hard core fan since 1996... when I heard "Discoteca" being played on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: David Wisdom's "Nightlines"). Although, I always liked West End girls and "It's a Sin", I forgot about them for years, since they slipped under my "radar screen"... that is... they had little or no Canadian radio airplay since about 88-90.

It was West End girls in 86 for me was introduced by a friend that recently moved from the UK i was into heavy metal before that. I am very happy I was saved from that.

So Hard on some vinyl compilation in 90-91 at the age of 9-10, then got Please and Discography on cd, but most precious was the Behaviour LP, which now hangs on the wall in all its glory.

This question pops up at least once a year but I'm always happy to tell I was there almost from the beginning. The second release of West End girls in 1986. Never cared much for Love comes quickly but really went crazy about Suburbia. So I got Disco for the different version of West End girls and the "Full horror" except for Love comes quickly I liked all tracks and got at least 1 12 inch of each single since.

Sorry if you`ve all seen this question many times before. I was a regular on the days of the Sky and Aimoo boards years ago, but have been away from the forums for four years so I have a lot of catching up to do
