This issue is great, very interresting and enlightening. I always like to know how things cost in the music business.
I loved Dead Or Alive's ad for the single "Brand New Lover" (this is invaluable to a fan of theirs like me) plus we finally know how much these adds pages costs for the artists 7 000 pounds a page (almost 8 000 euros for us in the eurozone), wow, how expensive ! even by today's standards.
Well, I guess it's not that expective for record companies like CBS/Sony Music, but still. My wallet hurts... ;)
I know now why some artists only have adds that spreads only half a page. And maybe why some are in monochrome and not in full colour. :)
If all goes according to what I laughingly refer to as a plan, there will be a new issue of Smash Hits added here every fortnight, on the thirtieth anniversary of the original publication date.
I have a complete collection from November 1978 until July 1985.
If you have a Flickr account, feel free to add tags to help other people find photos; I have been trying to tag pictures, but I am lagging behind in that task.
If you're on the Facebook, there is a fan page here.
I have my own Facebook page here; no reasonable request for friendship will be declined.
And, if you've made it this far, why not check out some of my music here or here.
