The Bookmark, Urmston, Jan/Feb 1972. Bought for 50p, aged 8, after being bedazzled by the Gibb bros on TotP.

Will have been consigned to the dustbin of history (or just the dustbin) in the ground zero purge of 1977/78.

I get some fearful stick from those sat around me when he's reffing, I can tell you!

"It's all about you, It's all about you, Anthony Taylor - it's all about you"

Quite right too. Lovely to receive some overdue recognition from our fans.

A numbered 'Thru the Flowers'! Great stuff. It's just been treated to a 40th anniversary 'reimagining'.

Yep, she still is! The second wave Prims stuff is just great.

Superb selection. Although I'd flip that Buzzcocks single around before playing :)

It is a broad church and I'd agree that PiL were/are post punk as opposed to new wave. But there are limits :)

Good choice. Why am I seeing the likes of Duran Duran and Heaven 17 posted as 'new wave'? Very odd.

Nice to see our boy add a few million to his transfer value :)

Extract in The Times from the Mike Joyce memoir, which is published on Thursday. Looking forward to reading not only 'his side of the story', but also about his time in Buzzcocks. The only musician to have been a member of my two all-time favourite bands!

Whereas that's Dave Watson's friendly face.

Sadly, Manchester and a fair few other dates were 'cancelled by the venues. It was a shame as while I don't think it would've matched the Hacienda gig in '82, we were still looking forward to it.

Fabulous. I'm not sure who 'Tracy Spencer' is though, as Ms Tracy's real name is Tracy Cattell.
