Skip to contentaudio.out1990 was twenty years ago. Ten years ago.The Fantastic Adventures of Adam AntComicsTops insert Promo for the Fantastic Adventures of Adam AntTops Promo (inner)Tops Promo (back)The Fantastic Adventures of Adam Ant was a comic strip appearing in Tops (later TV Tops) magazine, published by DC Thomson as a rival to Look-In Magazine. I’ve been trying to find scans of this for some time, it’s not been easy to track down but I’ve gathered bits and pieces so it’s probably time to try and assemble it all in one place. The story is barely coherent (even less so when I’ve only been able to source one page of an issue) but the core theme appears to be a Quantum Leap-ish time travel plot with various personas worn by Adam. The magazine featured photos of Adam pretty much every week so this is someone’s logical conclusion to ensure constant appearances of his name at the very least. The artwork was by Maureen Gray and her husband, Gordon. The scans presented here are a mix of Mag-a-zone content from flickr, comicvine and ebay seller images. I think I scanned a couple of these, but I can’t seem to find them for sure.Anyway, I’ll update when I find more images. I think the strip skipped a few weeks here and there and went on hiatus between 31 & 38 but again, I can’t be sure right now.

These numbers helped to categorise and sort music, and could help a DJ craft a set on theme and pitch. Anyway, these numbers didn’t go away.Ask for Maurice Continue reading “September 29th 1979, Record Mirror” →2022-01-152022-02-07 stxBenelux & Nancy Dee, Billy Connolly, Bouncers, Central Line, Cognac, Cory Daye, Debbie Jacobs, Earth Wind and Fire, Eddie Henderson, Edwin Starr, Idris Muhammad, Kandidate, Madness, Matumbi, Me & You, Olympic Runners, Savoy, Slick, The Beatles, Willie BoboSeptember 30th 1978, Record MirrorRecord MirrorI’m seven years old now, some of this becomes familiar on reading.Status QuoThe editorial direction of the paper now is kind of boring, Travolta, Abba & Status Quo are flavours of the month I guess, but not really my bag man. And the tone of the paper is a bit aggressive, but maybe that’s the Punk attitude. But I doubt it, it’s the newest counter culture and I can’t see it well represented in the press, only looked back on.
