Does anyone remember the regular letter to the NME that started with 'Where Is Beatles Band?' It was a spoof purporting to be from a Nigerian called Samuel K Amphong. This would be just as punk was breaking in the UK and though NME was awash with the new wave, Samuel would complain that the Beatles were not being featured enough despite them splitting seven years previously. The letters were full of hilarious grammatical errors and Samuel would get the band members names wrong Bingo Starr and the like. He would also make up non existent Beatles songs like Broken Down Liverpool Bus.
Pretty sure I read later that it was one of the Sniffin' Glue contributors having a little dig at a 'corporate' publication trying to take credit for punk. Anyone?

According to Luke Hainesβ¦.. Frankie Millar next to Hugh Cornwell. Steve Gibbons, (not Glenn Matlock) under the R. 2 Stranglers. Mick Green, Johnny Spence, Frank Farley ( looks like Peter Sutcliffe) Wilco. Jake Riveria with the cig in mouth. I'm guessing that because this photo contains Stranglers, Feelgoods, 999, Dire Straits etc that it's from the H&A Front Row Festival in late '77?

You would have thought he'd have a wash before his tea π I know you're joking but it was v hard to get coal dust off It's v greasy and needs several washes and rinses to get it off. This bloke wouldn't have had a bathroom let alone a shower. Probably once a week his missus would get the bath out in front of the coal fire for a weekend clean up.

^ I remember our local coal man going for a few drinks and even though he had his fancy togs on he was still filthy π

I love this photo of Adrian Street and his Dad (who he hated) when he returned to his home town with the Sunday Mirror for a piece they wrote about his life...
