Very sad to hear about Andy passing.
I remember him and Dean in Eastern Bloc behind the counter selling vinyl in the '80s. Graham Massey was older been in bands since he was a teen and bought stuff in Eastern Bloc. Together they form 808 and soon became stars. Andy always was smiling. Thanks for the music.

Good read that thanks for the share.
A great line about the ' scruffy rave pit' that was the Dome.... 'a sweatbox of acidic madness'. :)
