“I've checked and this is from the New Musical Express, 4 December 1982, p.43.”

“Ironically, I don't think the building behind MES is in Manchester. I think it's 69 Park Lane, Croydon.”

“(I realise the photos have been posted here by Julia herself!)”

“The photo on the stairs, with Julia Nagle, Steve Hanley, MES, Karl Burns, Brix Smith-Start and Lucy Rimmer may or may not have appeared in the Manchester Evening News, but it definitely did appear in the NME of 3 February 1996. See thefall.org/news/pics/96feb03_nme/96f.... It is credited to Hayley Madden.”

“The Singles of the Week feature was in fact not from NME but from Melody Maker, 3 October 1998.

“I've consulted copies of Mancunion in Manchester University library today and can confirm that this review was not in the Manchester Independent, which as I noted was not being published in 1977, but in Mancunion dated 19 October 1977, p6.”

“This is a 1980 interview, the year Leigh left the group and the year Totales Turns was released (the Rough Trade live lp mentioned). Also, he joined in 1979. So can't be a 1978 fanzine.”

“Not a 1978 interview. Leigh didn't join the group until 1979, and he left in 1980. Also mentions Yvonne leaving, which was 1979, and Craig Scanlon, who didn't join until 1979. And Fiery Jack was released in 1980, having debuted live in September 1979.”
