Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe met in an electronics shop on Kings Road in Chelsea, London in August 1981. Recognising a mutual interest in dance music they began to work on material together, first in Tennant's flat in Chelsea and from 1982, in a small studio in Camden Town. It was during these early years that several future hit songs were created, including "It's a Sin", "West End Girls", "Rent" and "Jealousy".
