My wife and I still have a battered copy of this edition on the shelves in our living room. I read Smash Hits (roughly) 1983 to 1987, at which point it became clear to me it was being aimed not only at those younger than me (mainly Jason & Kylie fans) but at a female audience, which is where it went in the 90s. Such a shame as I think it was so good at appealing to both sexes up to that point, which is a rare old thing to achieve. But great blog, Brian, and great memories...<br /><br />Robert HaganZoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333334895726416162noreply@blogger.com
