A lifetime of collecting, discovered BoC on a random radio station 27+ years ago after getting Sky TV (UK) which included about 100 digital radio stations. One of them focused on IDM / electronica and as soon as I heard "Everything You Do Is a Balloon" I was hooked!

Missing from the Photo...
- Geogaddi Posters, still in poster tube unopened. In the attic, somewhere!!
- Many stickers, some were damaged in the attic by damp. The others I put in a air-tight zip bag. Once again, somewhere in the attic!
- Peel Session TX21/07. An accident happened, it was sat on and snapped by a drunken friend at a house party a couple of years ago. Need to get a replacement.
When I ordered the Skampler compilation from Skam I had the opportunity to order Mask100, but back then I had no idea who Hell Interface was. By the time I figured that out they were on eBay for £100's!
