The Birth Of “Wan”?
Looking at eBay, I noticed this fanzine for sale (at a ridiculous price! Considering what most fanzines are like, and how they were produced). I could see that they were gracious enough to show what was inside with some low res pics (of an already poor quality printed magazine. Rare…but I would not pay £50…
Stage Presence!
There are some great photos being shared of last night’s gig in Barcelona – none better than this! Just look at him! Commands the stage… Can’t imagine what it’s like performing in front of thousands of adoring fans…but he laps it up. Visible for all to see in that nano second.

Wow…Ian Cranna hit the nail on the head, or what?! Will you look at that! And, some near 40 years on…they are the mainstays. It is an amazing review, really. Very constructive. Not sycophantic.

Another Pic Of Jim – NME Feb 25th, 1984
Just from a little piece on tour dates inside the NME. The pic was bigger than the bit about the dates, to be honest. I like the pic, so wanted to share. Nice bit of fetish action…
