It was groups like these who would cause a stir when they turned up for in store signings in record stores like HMV in Cornmarket Street in Oxford.

Oxford Mail:

Jennifer Lafton, 18, was a big fan and she waited four hours to meet lead singer Nathan Moore back in 1986.

There were lots of in store performances for fans over the years and local bands like Foals and Young Knives took the opportunity to turn up and play their latest singles.

Sadly the fun didn't last forever and after the chain went into administration in 2013 it closed its doors in the city centre the following year.

In June 2014 music fans queued up to buy the last discounted CDs, DVDs and video games.

HMV survived in a different guise following a buyout and a number of stores remain up and down the country.
