Spook!  Somewhere in my parents house in the UK is a stack of fanzines
which, when I left the UK I couldn't bring myself to throw away. Yes I still
have the Anorak City flexi given away free with the first Sarah Records
fanzine (Sarah 3 and 4). I can even remember where I bought it. At the
Boardwalk Club in Manchester when we had gone to see The Groove Farm in
early 1988.
