A point of minor curiosity. John revealed that he is 63 years old here:

Quote:
I first arrived in your country in 1966. I had hitch-hiked from the North of England, across France. I was seventeen years old and wanted to see the country of Picasso, Bunuel, Dali and Gaudi.

And at a gobsmacking £7.99 per issue, I can't see them getting that many readers! Pretty slim too, when you compare to the other mags...

I started a new thread elsewhere to give a heads up about the new mag,not realising it was already mentioned here.I bought a copy yesterday.

It's a good to have a mag that focuses on the kind of music that we like.There are some interesting articles.There is also a review of Ultravox's Brilliant which is positive but contains a number of errors(Yet more shoddy journalism).I have all bar one track on the accompanying cd already.My main bugbear is the price of £7.99. I don't understand how they can justify the price.Most music mags that come come with cds cost around a fiver.How can the publishers justify an extra £3!! I'm not too sure if I will buy it again in future.

While recently back in the UK and sorting through relics from my youth, to my surprise I unearthed a JF interview from May 1981 in an Sydney-based music weekly called Vox. I have not seen this paper since the early 1980's and certainly don't recall the article.

This was passed onto me by my father upon his return from a visit to Australia. He also gave me a Church single. In more recent years the Church have done a half-decent cover of 'Hiroshima Mon Amour'.

The third item my dad gave me was a Whitesnake album. The less said about that the better.

Linking the main double spread interview and the cover of Vox. The cover features the name of JF alongside a rather menancing picture of Peter Garratt from Midnight Oil.

Probably not revealing anything new but an enjoyable read all the same.
