Sad.
I used to have piles of old copies, from early 1978 till 1991. I think I missed 4 or 5 issues only in that timeframe.
As Gers says, it was hugely important at the time and a lot of good writers passed through it's ranks.
Likewise. Never missed a single issue from when I started buying it, summer '78, until I stopped, when they had Destiny's Child on the cover. My mother used to get it for me, and even when I'd left home and set up with the current Mrs Gers, she'd still buy it for me. So I'd pop 'round every Thursday evening and pick it up.
I actually still have a copy, the week my lad was born. It has Tim Burgess and Mark Gardener from Ride on the cover, and a very small article on some band called Jamiroquai as ones to watch. Came to fuck all them.
