I bought this one for The Barracudas centre spread.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work - you are getting close to my first ever issue - David Sylvian on the cover, holding a brolly, purchased on the way to see my ill grandad in hospital on a cold and grey sunday in Sheffield.
ReplyDeleteVery excited to see the scan of that one!!! How many more weeks til that issue???
The David Sylvian issue was October 30, so you'll be able to re-read at the end of next month. To tide you over until then (and because I'm an incorrigible tease), I have unlocked the cover on Flickr; you can see it here:

Thank you! Sheena Easton's lyrics to 'One Man Woman', XTC's 'Towers of London', long buried in my subconscious, are being set free tonight!
ReplyDeleteI said it before, but this is a fantastic project, it shows how good blogging can be with a good idea well executed. Cheers Brian!
