"This was the last issue, and "The Sound Of Spring" contained within was maybe half in number of what it used to be, and half of that had a direct route back to Boy`s Own. Lemon Interrupt, Farley & Heller dubs, the two Kevs, and Fabio Paras. Fabio was the man of the moment.

"The Staff" had moved from clubland "foot soldiers" photocopying and stapling a fanzine, to back room DJs, to main room DJs, to promoters and record label owners, and into the studio.

Weatherall had produced a Mercury Music Prize winning album (though the Scream fucked off with all the cash). Boy`s Own Recordings had signed "proper" bands, One Dove and Underworld, who could tour and required management. "Junior" was born with Ashley`s edits and re-works of Disco and House`s history, educating everybody, and with Fire Island, whose sound defined the `90s dancefloor.

Efforts and enthusiasm had lead to opportunities, and everyone just got too busy.

Cymon said to me at a party at The Park, that they were looking for younger people to take it on, and forward, but unfortunately, that didn`t happen.

I have to admit that the records here don`t hold so many memories for me.

I did dance to Mass Order and "Big Mouth" at Full Circle. "Come On Boy" is still Danny on the radio, captured on a treasured tape, play-listed next to Happyhead`s "Digital Love Thing".

Martika`s "Spirit" is another drug offensive on Islington`s Almedia Street, but it is walking out of there and starting anew.

Maybe because their weight ain`t so great, I could easily play any of these records in a set now. Twenty-two years on and they`re not so dated (no Figures On A Beach or Trance Dance`s in here), though I`ll pass on the Sunscreem ("seas turning turtle" kinda messes with my inner poet), and "Big Mouth", but I was always more of a fan of "Eclipse" anyway.
