In addition to True Blue (post below), the other main component of the soundtrack of transitioning from Tucson to my new life in San Francisco was Pet Shop Boys' Please. It was also one of those albums (along with True Blue) that I only ever owned on CD from that period.
I rectified that last April.
I'm really amazed it sounds as good as it does on vinyl because until this purchase, I'd only ever heard it digitally.
Although it doesn't happen any more, for many, many years after purchasing Please I would jump out of my skin at the PC beep in Two Divided By Zero because at that time the sound was so…unexpected. Now I don't even consciously hear it.
Still my favorite PSB album.
