Where was Preedys? I live in Harrow now but have never come across it.. unless it's the record shop right near the Harrow on the Hill station, next to Hill Street Booze??ArseSpanker wrote:1987. It's A Sin was actually one of the first pop songs to ever turn this late developers ears and was thus recorded off the radio and played to death. The first album I bought, in Preedys in Harrow (I remember the very moment extremely well, I bought it as it was cheaper than Actually) was Disco for my 14th birthday.
When did you become a pethead?

I think it might be Superdrug now. Sort of opposite Lloyds bank/Nandos if memory serves me right (I'm rarely in the area these days). It closed donkeys years ago, but will surely one day have a sign emblazoned where it once was stating: 'ArseSpanker bought his first ever album here.'Ghost within this house wrote:Where was Preedys?

Hatch End High School will have one that says: 'ArseSpanker never got laid here 1986-1990.'
Hill Street Booze... oh... Now that brings back memories... Ahh... I used to get served underage there. I may even have bought my first can of Tennent's Super in there. We used to go and sit outside the Royal Oak (now the Rat and Parrot) on the mound where they eventually built St George's shopping centre and drink whatever was at hand or go up the hill and get pissed on the Peachy Stone (Byron's fave place apparently).
Those were the days...

I became a fan because of West End girls and the other "Please" singles, bought "Disco" and played it to death, but it was "It's a sin" that turned me into a pethead.
"Unprofessional? Us? Sir. Might I with due respect remind you that Mister Vandemar and myself burned down the City of Troy? We brought the Black Plague to Flanders. We have assassinated a dozen kings, five popes, half a hundred heroes and two accredited gods. Our last commission before this was the torturing to death of an entire monastery in sixteenth century Tuscany. We are utterly professional." - Mr Croup
