I was DJing in a pub in soho with some friends. Why the fuck a pub had us banging out techno in an almost empty room was beyond me. There was a group of women who weren’t enjoying anything we were playing and I got asked if we had “you know, anything good like Michael Jackson or ABBA.” I had my copy of 1987 with me and I’ll never forget the look of anger and disdain when the Scottish rapping started, possibly a drink got thrown and the venue emptied by 50% as the ladies left.

It's not important but I had a copy of the very much deleted and ABBA annoying 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On) LP which was worth a bit of cash at the time, especially as cash was not what I had, but I left it on the tube one day in 1988. It wasn't worth a million quid but still, always seemed an inadvertent JAMM's-like gesture. And looking around today I discovered I've also lost the Chill Out vinyl LP somewhere over the years so there's a theme of Drummond/Cauty loss running through my life though I need no sympathy, thanks all the same.
