The record
Title: Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1984, Pop, New Wave Dance Pop, London, England 6/26
Matrix #: Columbia 4405049
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: George M (63' - 16'), Andrew R (63' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: George Michael was still closeted while being sold as a bright teen-pop heartthrob, carrying private fear, family pressure, and tabloid risk under the clean Wham! image.
- Studio Lore: The title came from a note Andrew Ridgeley left for his parents, where he accidentally doubled “go,” turning a household mistake into the single’s whole hook.
- Media Narrative: The video’s oversized “Choose Life” shirts became instant 80s iconography, turning Wham! into a color-coded pop product as much as a band.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
