'Stewart Copeland is the kind of person who can fill a room to bursting all on his own'

This is great Smax.

The weird thing is that 30 years on I can remember some of the cover shots. I'm quite sure I had the Bob Marley one confiscated for reading it in chemistry/physics or some other unbearably boring lesson at school. I bet the bloody teacher has it in his collection now.

i can't remember any yet, but i will when he gets near 1985 'cos i was 9 and started to get it every fortnight with NME.
