Welcome Mark Wood - Woking's other walking musical encyclopedia after Mr.Weller.
Mark has been a key person in the back catalogue part of the record industry for years doing great work at Virgin, Universal and Demon records.
This is a great look back at the decade from the point of view of a boy whose love of music began at a young age (See photo), and led him up the rungs of the record shop retail ladder, to a stint at Smash Hits magazine and eventually instigating superb reissue packages, looking after acts like Soft Cell, Bryan Ferry, Grace Jones and Suede.
Mark has assembled two outstanding 5 disc sets, 'Box Of Sin' & "More Sin", which go some way to demonstrate just what the 80s music scene was really like in London's gay club land.
Mark's recollections of cultural history are thrilling as are the pictures he paints depicting his journey through the 80s, a genuine Small town Boy.
We thought it would be a nice idea to dedicate Mark's episode to the memory of Aunty Janet - DA.
