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.

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??

its always surprising how many fans are young!

i was forced into listening to them since i was born.....
and tht is no lie
i wont buy any other single or album during the peiod when PSB are releasing as i was always told that it could affect there position - see how bad it is!

only started collecting all there singles a couple of years ago though!!!!

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.'

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.

You got a good memory but you can't live in the past all the time! Here, have a tipple on me
