I had never really made the connection between you and the Pet Shop Boys before, but suddenly I realised that the first Pet Shop Boys music I ever had was a taped copy of their Disco remix album that you had made for me. You must have had it for Christmas that year, in 1986. I would have been 12, and you were 11.
