In other 1995 compilation news, the HITS albums reactivated! NOW32 had competition from the likes of Robson & Jerome, Frank Bruno and Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown!

At the age of 17 I fell in love with Pink Floyd and set about discovering everything about their fascinating, complex musical legacy. 35 years later Mark Blake and @newmodernbooks.bsky.social

Missed all the #totp chat earlier so catching up with 1988 now and will say nothing more than it’s all looking a bit thirteen and, er, suitcase.

Hurrah!
